Carol Harrington, CMT, MA
Massage
Carol has provided massage to clients for over 25 years in Colorado and California. She is a certified member of American Massage and Bodywork Professionals and is certified by The California Massage Therapy Council. Carol began her studies in bodywork at The Esalen Institute in Big Sur, CA, where she learned Esalen and Swedish techniques. She then continued studies at The Colorado Massage Therapy Institute in Denver, CO, where Carol studied Neuromuscular/Trigger Point Therapy focusing on the treatment of soft tissue injuries and the alleviation of chronic pain. This groundwork was augmented over the years with numerous additional trainings and seminars
Wellness Coaching and Mind-Body-Spirit Integration Counseling
Carol has a keen interest in the mind-body-spirit connection and brings her educational background of two masters degrees in psychology as well as her personal life experiences to the mind-body-spirit integration sessions with her clients.
All of us, at one time or another, find ourselves at a point in our lives when we want to create change. We may, however, be experiencing ourselves stuck in repetitive patterns while our efforts to change have fallen short of bringing us our desired results and sense of real satisfaction.
Inherent in any attempt to change lies an opportunity of discovering more about ourselves and how our patterns of thinking, behaving and feeling are influencing our movement forward. In an atmosphere of acceptance and respect, I accompany my clients in exploring their internal landscape in relationship to realizing their hearts desire. We engage in a process of following organically emerging "clues" leading to the roots of current challenges as well as to the gifts of inherent strengths, with the potential of discovering a unique path to one’s hearts desire
When working with clients, I draw from my life experiences with trauma, narcissistic influences, and a past health challenge, as well as from my background and training in coaching, psychology, bodywork, alternative health and teaching. I am a life coach and personal development facilitator and have had a lifelong interest in supporting individuals in creating life experiences in alignment with their deepest desires and dreams.
I offer a complementary 20 minute consult. Call 831 601 5062
