Carolyn’s Story
In 1998 Carolyn moved to New Zealand and in the year 2005 started working in Central Auckland as a Real Estate professional. Through Real Estate she gained many customers based off word of mouth and had great reputation.
In 2018 Carolyn lost half her eyesight and within 3 weeks had gone through life, death and separation events that made her aware of something more empowered than humans and felt it was a call for a life change. In March 2020, Carolyn finally finished her real estate career and started a new life path as a full time Yoga instructor to share her passion and experience.
Carolyn trusts to follow her truths, and her full heart desire is to bring yoga into people’s lives to help them reconnect with their own inner guidance system, and to live in the moment to make a peaceful, joyful balanced life.
