About Carmela Carlyle
I have been absolutely determined to enjoy my work in this lifetime and to do it very well. Carefully observing which way my heart is drawn, I have followed it to workplaces with consummate professionals and to clients who have been exquisite teachers.
And I am still following my bliss! Integrating the benefits of healing laughter into all aspects of my private counseling, yoga teaching and professional speaking practice is pure joy for me. And, I trust it will be for you, and your loved ones, colleagues, clients and customers too.
Below you will find a tidy summary of my professional background and some evidence of my life-long commitment to learning. I sincerely hope it inspires you to trust in my skills and hire me. I truly do.
