“A portrait from Carla is unlike anything else I have experienced. It offers a look into who 'I am' in a way that art alone cannot capture. I have felt energetic shifts in my healing after a session, and appreciate the drawings she creates as a focus for my meditation.”

It was really amazing watching you work and feeling the energy that you captured on the page. I could feel my own body and energy shifting as you worked. It was a very angelic experience; almost like an angelic portrait of me at that moment. I felt very comfortable and safe with you even though I had never had any portrait of myself done before, let alone an energetic portrait.

Seeing myself in a drawing was fascinating. I specifically asked for a realistic drawing because I wanted to be able to recognize myself. There ended up being differences between the left and right half of my face. Carla and I explored the meaning of this a bit and it turned out to echo an inner divide between my left and right brain and pointed to a need for integration of the two sides of me -- as well as pointing to an inherent strength of combining disparate philosophies and worlds (I’m a business geek on one side, and a spiritual practitioner on the other). It was an accurate metaphorical reflection of my inner world. After the session I felt a release of energy, joy and aliveness. I think there is something about being seen and witnessed on a deep level that heals things we may not even be aware of.

I had the privilege to sit for Carla while she did a “spiritual drawing” of me. During the sitting, I was aware of a deep spiritual connection between Carla and myself that she was able to achieve. The drawing itself evoked deep feelings. As I continued to look at it in the coming days, it showed me more and more of its meaning. The drawing indicated a draining of spiritual energy. Later, I was able to have a complete healing of this “spiritual drain”. I think that the first step to this healing was the realization of it, which Carla was able to commit to paper through the spiritual drawing. Thank you, Carla.

It is hard to put into words how beautiful it is to have an energy portrait done with Carla. As an energy healer myself I could sense how much energy moves for the better as she works on your portrait. The combination of pure intent, being seen, and allowing the energy to flow create a safe space for your higher self to emerge and experience healing. I could feel old losses releasing from my heart and my body freeing up to move and feel more grounded. It is both peaceful and transcendent! I recommend the experience to anyone who desires a unique and beautiful healing experience. .

When I went to have Carla do my portrait I had the expectation that I would sit quietly in her studio while she looked over at me and worked at her easel. I was surprised to find that as she worked I could feel myself as the piece of paper and she was working on ME! I could feel the effect of the color and gestures on my energy field. It was extraordinary. Carla is a powerful artist and healer. I was feeling clearer and lighter and more joyful as she worked. Carla presented me with an abstract watercolor painting when the session was complete. She mentioned that I may feel inspired to add to the painting and I was, so I did. [....] I allowed myself to be moved to add to it without overthinking. As I look at it now it feels to me like the piece is a painting of Inspiration. It's lively and it moves. There is quite a bit of energy in it! And it's a wonderful reminder to go with the flow and leave the overthinking behind. Thank you Carla! .
