Meet Carrie
A guide who has walked the path
Carrie Kurtz — multi-modality somatic coach for individuals and couples.

I am a multi-modality somatic coach specializing in childhood trauma, nervous system regulation, attachment wounds, and relationship patterns.
Through my own healing journey, I discovered that lasting transformation goes beyond shifting thoughts and beliefs. True healing also involves addressing the patterns, emotions, and protective responses held within the body — and learning its unique language.
Using a trauma-informed approach that integrates somatic practices, parts work, nervous system regulation, and Somatic EMDR, I help individuals and couples reconnect with themselves, heal at the root, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I believe the most important relationship we have is the one with ourselves. Our inner world is a mirror, and our life is the reflection.
Having walked my own path of transformation, I feel deeply called to support and empower others as they reclaim their wholeness, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and build lives that feel aligned, fulfilling, and good in their bodies.
My approach
The modalities I draw on
Every session is shaped around you. These are the practices we may weave together to help your nervous system find safety and heal at the root.
Inner Child Work
Meet the younger parts of you with safety and compassion, so they no longer have to protect you in old ways.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Explore your inner world without judgment. Every part has a purpose — and you learn to lead from a regulated, grounded Self.
Rewiring the Nervous System
Work with the body to build capacity for safety, rest, and connection, so change feels steady and sustainable.
Attachment Theory
Understand how early attachment patterns shape your relationships today — with partners, family, and yourself — and gently shift toward greater security and trust.
Somatic EMDR
Combines traditional Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with body-centered somatic psychology to treat trauma stored in the nervous system, so the past can finally feel like it’s in the past — not something you’re still living inside of.
Somatic Experiencing
Listen to the body’s story through sensation tracking and movement, allowing stored stress and survival responses to release safely.
The Enneagram
A tool for self-awareness and compassion that helps uncover unconscious patterns and create more choice.
Kind words
Reflections from clients
I am deeply grateful to have had Carrie as part of my journey. As a therapist, I deeply value personal growth and having my own space for reflection and accountability. Carrie's warmth, honesty and knowledge allowed me a space where I could be myself. It allowed me to validate patterns I had ignored, reconnect with my strengths and find clarity in both my personal and professional life. Growth is a lifelong process, and even those of us who guide others often need guidance and support as well. I wholeheartedly recommend Carrie to anyone seeking guidance in navigating transitions, self-awareness, or realigning their purpose.
Carrie goes above and beyond; I believe she will excel in any role a client is facing. Carrie has displayed a strong work ethic, high standards, and a genuine care for the well-being of clients. She possesses above-average emotional intelligence and excellent communication skills.
Working with Carrie has been truly transformative. From our very first session, her guidance and unwavering support helped me gain clarity and confidence in my personal and professional life. Her unique approach, combined with genuine empathy, has empowered me to set and achieve meaningful goals. What I love most is how she consistently validates my feelings and experiences, making me feel truly heard and understood. I'm constantly experiencing positive changes in the way I act, feel, and view life — thanks to Carrie!
Whatever you are trying to move through, you definitely want Carrie in your corner. She will make you feel seen, heard and loved, while not backing down on what you need to hear in order to move the needle. Carrie's loving, nurturing approach will really help you feel safe looking at the uncomfortable stuff so that you can move through anything that is holding you back. There is no staying stuck with Carrie. She truly has a gift to help people and I feel so blessed to get to work with her. It has been breakthrough after breakthrough and my life is shifting in unbelievable ways because of her.
Having Carrie as a supportive presence in my life has been invaluable. She has a genuine heart that you feel as she holds you gently through both a somatic and emotional connection. She has helped me be more gentle with myself as I move through old wounds, sensations, and narratives where I've felt stuck. As a therapist myself, I'm rather picky about who I can trust to guide me. She celebrates the wins, big and small, and reflects back hard truths in the most loving, compassionate way. I can't recommend Carrie enough to hold you through a beautiful transformation of coming home to yourself.
Carrie holds space like a mirror, calm and deeply present. In our session, I felt completely safe to open up and drop into my body in a way I hadn't before. What unfolded was pure magic — my fire and my light finally stopped fighting and started dancing. The visual journey she walked me through was freeing, and I left feeling more connected, more embodied, and fully lit from within. Carrie helped me reclaim my power, not by fixing, but by witnessing. She's a gift to the nervous system, to the body, and to the soul.
Carrie is a truly gifted practitioner. I came to her seeking clarity around a relationship, unsure how much of what I was feeling came from childhood trauma and how much reflected my present-day truth. With gentleness and insight, Carrie guided me toward the answers that aligned with my highest self and genuine needs. I entered the session feeling confused and left with confidence and clarity. She is compassionate, wise, and exceptionally skilled — an ideal support for anyone committed to growth and inner work.
Carrie has a rare gift for holding space for you to dig deep, find yourself, find truth and in it, find healing. I highly recommend her to anyone facing a big life transition or looking to heal from past trauma. She created a safe space for me to search for answers and acted as a steady, loving guide along with way. Despite years of trying other therapy modalities, I was never able to access the stored trauma in my body or find my feelings and as a result emotional healing like I did through Carrie’s somatic approach to wellness. It offered an unexplainable release. Carrie helped me find my voice and trust it, and then she gave me the tools to carry this work on my own. She taught me that wellness is a daily practice that starts with accepting and loving myself. I’m deeply grateful to have had Carrie as part of my healing journey and I will always hold her close to my heart.
I have had the extraordinary blessing of knowing Carrie Kurtz for 16-years. I have had the experience of serving her as a client. I have had the experience of observing her as a mother. I have had the experience of officiating her wedding in 2014. I have had the experience of coaching her in her marriage. I have witnessed, watched, observed and experienced Carrie in private sessions, couples’ sessions and in workshops and retreats. She is a clear, focused, determined, devoted, disciplined, curious, humble and resilient woman. She has done her own deep dive work exploring her ego, pain body and shadow. She has continued her education seeking further knowledge and certification in the direction she has felt most passionately called to serve. And now, I could not recommend her more highly for service to you! She has SO MUCH wisdom to offer from her own personal heroic journey. She has a magnanimous heart, so much bigger than her body! She loves and cares deep and steady; you will KNOW this by being in her presence. Her hands are gifted for healing touch, her eyes SEE and KNOW beyond the five senses, her BODY connects and directs her work somatically. She is a TEACHER and A WISE WOMAN. Do not miss being in her presence and RECEIVING her services which are diverse and expansive. You will be forever impacted and influenced in the best way by working with her. She is the REAL DEAL, from the top of her crown to the soles/souls of her feet, inside out and outside in. As I am an Integrity Coach, I can “testify” to her INTEGRITY and herfocused commitment to the healing arts. She is a true healer! I am grateful for the years of connection and service I have been blessed to have had with her. She is a true JOY and her laugh is truly a “tummy tickler” which brings a buoyancy and “lightness of being” to the deep work of healing and self-awareness. I know you will be eternally grateful for working with her as she will work alongside you, empowering and encouraging YOU!
