Soulfulness™

“Carmen is driven by a desire to help others reach their fullest potential and evolve towards wholeness. She is also deeply committed to inner work and is constantly learning and growing. Ever since I first met her on a “Woman Within Workshop” in the UK I have been struck by her power, wisdom, depth, her commitment to do both her own inner work with courage and to facilitate the same for others. She is highly intelligent, driven, and well as emotionally aware and intelligent. She is authentic and deeply compassionate. I have a deep respect for her as both a friend and a colleague. She is resilient, compassionate, an excellent listener and has a strong and containing presence. Those who are around Carmen are profoundly impacted by her. She is able to work with teams on the highest of levels and to make everyone feel valued and heard. She is also highly intelligent and innovative, as well as capable; as is reflected in the unique ways she teaches others (from accounting in her early career to leadership and transformational work currently). She has been through much in her life, and as a result has been on a journey of discovery, healing and meaning from a young age. She has explored many healing modalities, all of which will hold her in good stead. She is a deep thinker, courageous, dedicated and disciplined and has achieved much of what she has set out to do in her life. I have no hesitation in my belief of her potential to continue to develop or to recommend this multifaceted, musical, poetic, creative, empathetic, practical, caring, and special human being.” – Linda Kantor (PhD), Counselling Psychologist, Hypnotherapist and yoga teacher, co-founder of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Programme in Cape Town, and Institute for Mindfulness South Africa.

“Carmen is brave and shows courage to step into the shadow realm, knowing that to do so is in service to herself and her community. I deeply appreciate Carmen’s ability to show compassion and lack of judgment in her work and relationships. She remains open to outcome, approaching the unknown with an attitude of curiosity and learning. She is courageous in facing up to difficult questions that arise in her work with clients or in her own journey. She is a lifelong learner, with a boundless energy for new ideas, thoughts, concepts, and tools that equip her to mediate effectively between the realms of the conscious and unconscious. She has a deep desire for continual learning and to develop insights into our human condition and the unconscious dynamics that shape our experiences. Over 20 years of professional experience, Carmen has built a strong foundation of skills, self-awareness, and knowledge.” – Gitanjali Maharaj, Group Executive: Culture Transformation, Absa Group Ltd (Banking and Financial Services

“At a personal level, it was quite a useful process of self-discovery and for that, I derived maximum benefit out of it. The one complementary benefit was at a group level, manco, where some of the fundamental leadership mindsets and behaviours were addressed. We even collectively took away a set of actions to drive as a Manco. Overall, useful intervention worth the time spent.” – Ntsopana Mafa, Head of Department, South African Bank Note Company.
