A joyful soul and lifelong seeker of wisdom, Carolyn has dedicated her life to teaching, guiding, and inspiring others. Her journey has taken her through many meaningful roles: Professor, childcare manager, inspirational speaker, spiritual advisor, mindfulness and meditation teacher, and spiritual healer across multiple disciplines. Through it all, she has remained a devoted student of the Universe, always learning, always evolving, and always sharing what she discovers.
Over the years, Carolyn has led countless webinars, seminars, keynote presentations, meditation sessions, classroom experiences, and one-on-one guidance for people of all ages. Her gift is helping others see what is possible when we approach life with kindness, love, and an open heart.
Why Seniors Hearts of Joy?
Carolyn believes deeply that joy is not something we arrive at someday — it is a way of being that can be cultivated at any stage of life.
Through Seniors Hearts of Joy, she now focuses her passion and wisdom on seniors who are seeking:
- Meaningful connection
- Holistic well-being
- Spiritual awareness
- Emotional balance
- A sense of wonder, purpose, and belonging
These virtual gatherings and teachings are designed to help seniors feel inspired, supported, and empowered to live with a heart full of joy — no matter where they are in their journey.
A life lived with joy
Carolyn is also a loving wife, mother, and grandmother whose own life is filled with adventure, love, and infinite possibility. Whether she is by the ocean, walking through the forest, or spending time with family and friends, she radiates compassion, warmth, and a deep sense of gratitude for life’s miracles.
For seniors seeking inspiration, spiritual awakening, and holistic wellness, Carolyn’s journey is a beacon of hope — a living example that wonders never cease and that a joy-filled life is always within reach.

What People are Saying...
Carolyn’s workshops for seniors during the pandemic came at a time when connection to community was deeply lacking. Through her thoughtful guidance, participants were able to identify and process emotions - some reaching back decades and gain practical tools to support a healthier path forward. Just as meaningful, the workshops fostered genuine friendships and connections that extended well beyond the sessions themselves and remain strong years later. Her impact has been both profound and lasting.

I enjoyed the Essa Library Senior course and meditation sessions. I found Carolyn to be a very caring and understanding person. Because of the sessions I am now able to meditate easier than I did previously. Carolyn is a great person very loving and giving of herself for needs of others.

I had the absolute pleasure of participating in Carolyn’s Health and Wellness Series at the Angus Library, and I can honestly say it was a truly enriching and meaningful experience. The course content was thoughtfully presented, easy to understand, and highly relevant for seniors. Each session touched on important topics such as mindfulness, stress relief, gratitude, and overall well-being in a way that felt both practical and uplifting. I walked away with new insights and simple techniques that I continue to use in my daily life.

I took Carolyn's Health and Wellness. As a senior, I strongly believe in "aging well" and all that it entails. I found this course to offer so many interesting, relevant, engaging topics while learning and sharing with other like- focused individuals in a group. The content was interesting, relevant, engaging and fun!
