Dear Mallory and Selection Committee,
I am excited to be putting my hat into the ring for the position you have recently advertised through Beth Lambert and Team at Epidemic Answers/Documenting Hope. Beth and I have quite a long history together, and I deeply respect their work. I was, in fact, the first person to complete their Epidemic Answers Health Coach Training back in their beta phase and have worked with them on several projects as well as having Beth as a speaker for all 4 of my Children's Health Summits! I'm not trying to throw names around--I just want to convey my enthusiasm for how we all can and do connect so beautifully in this impassioned health space!
I believe that my skills and expertise can meet the needs quoted from your call for "an individual who can help bring [your] curriculum to life with a dynamic recorded delivery of lecture materials...who is passionate about the impact health coaches can have on health outcomes and who has experience delivering educational materials in an online space."
I am not only passionate about wellness coaching but deeply committed to curating the experience and training necessary for coaches and mentors to empower, enliven, and inspire people into their own deep wellness.
I hope that the combination of my education and experience meets the requirements of the contract which are:
"A minimum of a Master’s degree in a health and wellness related field, or a Bachelor’s degree plus a license/registration in a nationally recognized health and wellness related field
An active and current NBHWC credential
A minimum of 200 hours of coaching practice"
I don't believe that I have an NBHWC credential, but I run my own academy and feel that I would qualify. If this is an issue, please do let me know.
Thank you for the work that you do and for this opportunity to work more deeply on this shared vision.
Please see below for more details about me than you may want to know!
Warmly,
Carla.

CARLA'S ZONES OF GENIUS
Guiding
Your life, your health, your diving into the depths of your wellness... this is your journey, but sometimes we need some help putting it all together...areas to explore...first steps...the opportunities that start to reveal themselves when you let go of the life you thought was out of your control and step right into the possibilities of a full-on vital existence. Carla's work with her clients is a "loving kick in the rear."
Curating
Carla's sessions are not only informational, but experiential, as well. Carla uses her facilitation skills, her voice, and her deep knowledge of the most transformative entry points to create not only the "how to", but the experience of health reclamation:
Meditation
Visualization
Sound
Breathwork
Thought Shifting
Philosophical Fellowship
Energy Medicine
And More...
Inspiring
Any coach that you want to work with MUST walk the talk, and Carla doesn't just walk the talk, she radiates it through her dedication to this work, to her own evolution, to her children and community, and to you. Her teaching is soulful, real, warm, and accessible--her sessions are inspired and inspiring, impactful, bold, yet always fun. You will be held. You will be loved. You will be heard. You will be motivated to step into your own light.
Supporting
We are social beings, and we all need support, even those of us who seem to have it all figured out...and for those of us who feel overwhelmed and disempowered, do not ever feel as if you have to be an island. All of Carla's programs and coaching come with a nourishing dose of community, love, encouragement, and connection in three places: Live Sessions, the Members' Area, and her Online Discussion Groups.
