Carrieann Petersen - Creative Recalibration with Carrieann ~ Coaching and Yoga
The quick version:
Hi my name is Carrieann. I am a neurodivergent and queer affirming life coach who aims to work with individuals to reach their own personal wellness goals. To me, holistic wellness is whole body self-care that includes balancing mental health, emotional health and affirming care, delicious food, healthy living and physical activities. This looks different based on each person’s individual philosophy and lived experiences. I will hold space for you, and follow your individual needs.
I offer virtual private yoga and/or affirming coaching as well as group classes. Additionally, I am happy to work with you via email or text if that feels better for you.
Homeschool, Pagan, Polyamory, LGBTQ, Military and Kink friendly (to name a few).
The long version about me:
Welcome! A little about me: I have been married for over 21 years and have 3 children, plus a second long-term partner of 11 years who lives with us. I have homeschooled my kids since January 2010. I have a BFA in Musical Theatre (2004) and a B.Sci in Psychology (2023). I am a certified nutrition coach through National Academy of Sport’s Medicine (NASM), September 2024; certified yoga teacher (RYT200) through Online Yoga School (2023), and hold Yin and Restorative Certifications as well. I earned my 1st degree Black Belt in Taekwondo from Victory Martial Arts and Fitness Hawaii with Grand Master Charles Gooden Jr in 2023. I was awarded a diploma in Gourmet Cooking and Catering from Ashworth College (2020). I worked as an in home child care provider for the U.S. Navy from 2018-2019 and I am a certified Montessori Instructor (2013) through United Montessori Association. From 2008-2013, I volunteered as a Pagan Distinctive Faith Group Leader, achieving my deaconry training through Sacred Well Congregation (2010). I am a life long learner and am currently working towards a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University. My future goal is to be a licensed clinical professional counselor in Maryland.
Music is very therapeutic for me, and I have a special place in my heart for Musical Theatre and old MGM musicals. I identify on both the queer and neurodivergent spectrums (autism, ADHD, OCD, depression and anxiety), and have a lot of experience with neurodivergent friends and family members. I understand the challenges that come with having a brain that works differently than our neurotypical friends and family, as well as how this unique outlook we bring to the table is our super power!
Why Creative Recalibration?
My goal is to be an ally to anyone who feels they do not have a voice. I am a supportive wellness coach for pagan, queer, neurodivergent, polyamorous, kink and military folks; and I’m here to encourage your capability to overcome life’s hurdles, helping you Recalibrate in ways that are Creative to you and your personal needs! One size does not fit all when it comes to holistically getting back to your personal center.
