She's Been Where You Are
For at least ten years, Carre lived with fibromyalgia. Doctor after doctor told her the same thing: this was something she would carry for the rest of her life. Getting out of the car and walking to the mailbox wasn't a small thing. It was something she had to think about.
She'd already spent years working hands-on with other people's pain as a massage therapist when everything shifted. A client of hers, who had fibromyalgia herself, came in for a session that combined bodywork with energetic techniques. By the end, she was in tears. She told Carre she hadn't been without pain in longer than she could remember. Carre was still living with the same condition herself, watching it happen for someone else.
That session changed the direction of her work. She went on to train as a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, and fully recovered from her own decade-long experience with fibromyalgia using these same techniques.
It's part of why she doesn't just believe this work can help with pain that doctors can't fully explain. She's been on both sides of it.
Who She Works With
Carre's practice centers on three places where women get stuck: pain that's hard to diagnose, the hormonal upheaval of midlife, and the emotional weight of major life changes. All three come back to the same nervous-system work.
Chronic & Autoimmune Pain
Fibromyalgia, lupus, chronic migraines, and pain that hasn't responded well to a clear diagnosis. This is the population Carre feels most confident helping, and the one closest to her own story.
Midlife & Menopause
The hormonal shifts, sleeplessness, and sense of losing yourself that often show up alongside pain and anxiety in midlife. A much bigger share of her clients are here than most people expect.
Life Transitions & Emotional Pain
Divorce, career upheaval, becoming an empty nester, or any big life change that leaves you feeling unmoored. The grief, anxiety, and sleeplessness that come with it respond to the same nervous-system work.
In every case, the work is the same: calming a nervous system that's stuck in high alert, so the body has room to do what it already knows how to do.
25+ Years in the Body and the Mind
Before she was a hypnotherapist, Carre spent two decades as a massage therapist and bodyworker, working hands-on with clients' pain every day. She studied psychology, followed by post-graduate work in psychiatry and social work, and trained across a range of holistic modalities along the way. That combination is unusual: most practitioners who work with physical pain through hypnotherapy have never actually put their hands on a body in pain. Carre has, for over twenty years.
