My Story

Hi, my name is Carmen.

I have faced many challenges throughout my life, but my divorce, was by far, the most painful and traumatic experience that I have ever been through.

​

Several years ago, I struggled to make sense of the end of my marriage. When my husband and I first separated, I was devastated because we had been in each other's my lives since we were kids, for almost seventeen years.

I had always been a true romantic and believer of fairy tales. As a Catholic girl, the "til death do us part" notion was the most beautiful, unbreakable promise that a couple could make, so when reality hit that it was really over, I felt like my world was collapsing. The emotional and physical pain that I felt was too much to bare at times. I was grieving a death.

Then one day, I decided that I had enough. I was not going to let myself get trapped in a hole of self-pity. Although my heart was shattered, I was not going to let this break me or define the rest of my life. I reclaimed myself and decided to dive into the most amazing transformational and self-introspective journey that began eleven years ago, and will go on for the rest of my life.

​

What I hope to be able to convey is that I know how you feel. I know what it's like to cry until you can't see anymore, I know how you can hurt in places that you couldn't imagine you would feel pain, and how nothing that anybody can say is likely to make you feel better... But I also know that healing is possible and attainable. And that after a while, things will become clearer, and you will become a much stronger and wiser person for this experience. We all have this unbelievable strength and tenacity inside of us that will guide us through. We just have to reach for it.

​

So I would like you to remember these three things:

You are not alone, you will be ok, and you will love again.

That raw pain that you are feeling right now will begin to settle, and the moments that you catch yourself laughing or appreciating something again will increase in duration, and over time, these moments will prevail.   

​

I have learned through many life experiences, that we are amazing, powerful, and resilient beings who are not just meant to survive, but are meant to thrive. And it has become my mission to be the hand that helps pull you out of this darkness, helps to empower you, and helps you to reflect on the powerful lesson that you were meant to learn about yourself from this relationship. Once you let go and embrace the journey, you will find your best, your truest, and most authentic self so that you can attract a new and lasting relationship that is aligned with who you truly are.

​

​

I would absolutely be honored to support you in your journey.
