Welcome! I’m Carla Alpert—an Artist, Functional Medicine Practitioner and Board Certified Wellness Coach who found SoulCollage® as a way to express my inner world through pictures.
When I was searching for the “missing link” in my own health struggles many years ago, I found Somatic Experiencing therapy. This began the process of unraveling complex trauma and emotions stored deep inside my body that I was completely unaware of. Since then I continue to do a combination of Somatic therapy mixed with Hakomi and IFS therapy. I also became certified as a NARM Professional as a way to help others in my practice and also to explore my own C-PTSD. I’m also IFS-Informed after completing the Internal Family Systems (IFS) Inner Circle and will bring this method into my coaching practice as well.
Finding SoulCollage® has really helped me to process therapy sessions, current experiences and stored emotions as well as get to understand all my internal parts by expressing them visually on paper. I continue to have my own personal SoulCollage® practice and became a SoulCollage® Facilitator to bring this method into my coaching practice to support others.
With the encouragement of a few close confidants and an intuitive sense, I found the courage to share my personal process in the hope of helping those of you who suffer in silence and may think there is no way out of your internal struggles.
Creativity is a means to express things we may not have words for. You don’t have to be artist to explore this collage process either, just a courageous open heart and desire to explore.
