Carmella brings more than 40 years of combined experience in business, entrepreneurship, education, academia, and human services sector.
Her work is guided by a deep commitment to helping individuals heal, grow, and create lives of purpose, prosperity, and personal sovereignty.
Carmella's professional journey is complemented by her own remarkable story. Due to significant family trauma and life circumstances, she was unable to complete high school. Refusing to allow her circumstances to define her future, she pursued higher education as a mature student through traditional and alternative pathways. However, educating herself as an adult was not without challenge due to unusual family system circumstances, life transitions, and caregiving challenges that demanded her alternate attention simultaneously.
In 2016, she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with published honours research in mindfulness and perfectionism. In 2024, she completed a Master of Management in Innovation and Entrepreneurship. She graduated in the top 10% of her class in both programs—without a high school diploma or GED. Along the way, she received more than 20 awards recognizing academic, research, creative writing and Indigenous excellence.
In her coaching and Reiki practice, Carmella combines professional knowledge with the wisdom gained through her experiences and connection to being a mother, traditional & non-traditional wife, entrepreneur, researcher, and healing facilitator.
Her approach is direct, real, raw, humourous, compassionate, and holistic, recognizing that empowerment and healing often involves emotional, mental, spiritual, relational, and financial dimensions.

Through coaching, Reiki, and intuitive readings, she supports individuals in reconnecting with themselves, strengthening their intuition, and accessing their own inner wisdom and creativity to solve their problems.
Carmella believes developing a deeper relationship with one's intuition, sensory system, body intelligence, and innate ability to communicate (even without words) is an essential skill for navigating the challenges and opportunities of today's rapidly changing world.
