Hi there, I'm Shelly Carriere

I’ve come to believe that when mind, body and soul align, a quiet, steady power emerges.

But I didn't always know that power existed.

For years, I chased worth in all the wrong places: through people-pleasing and perfectionism. I felt alone, anxious, and burned out. Still, a quiet inner knowing kept urging me to slow down and face what I'd been avoiding.

Through deep therapeutic work, somatic practices, and a whole lot of soul-searching, I started peeling back the layers. I faced the childhood wounds, the generational stories, and the parts of me I thought I had to hide.

And I discovered something unexpected: I wasn't broken.

Those early patterns didn’t stay in childhood. They followed me into adulthood, shaping how I related and loved. I over-functioned to keep the peace and carried others’ emotions as my own, unaware I was repeating old dynamics. Over time, I realized these weren’t flaws but survival strategies; parts of me that once kept me safe but were now keeping me small.

Those flaws I was trying to fix were actually sacred parts of me calling for compassion and understanding. They were the keys to my freedom. Through the pain of unworthiness, I discovered my wholeness.

I started healing deep attachment wounds. I navigated the pain of divorce into a mutually respectful co-parenting partnership. I learned to calm my nervous system. And eventually, I made the brave decision to leave a successful mortgage career; not because I had a plan, but because I knew something deeper was calling.

THE BRIDGE

Therapy laid the foundation for my healing and coaching became the bridge. It helped me move beyond awareness into embodiment, turning insight into action and growth into freedom. It helped me become the woman I am today: grounded, aligned, and open to love and life in ways I never thought possible.

That evolution inspired Beyond Freedom Coaching, and it feels like coming full circle. I now guide others through their own soul transformations with the same grounded, soulful, forward-focused support I once needed.

WHERE I AM NOW

Life still brings its share of challenges, messy moments, and growth edges. The difference now? I meet them with curiousity, self-trust, and resilience. Continuing to do my own inner work allows me to hold a safe, nurturing space for clients to come home to themselves.

If your soul is nudging you toward more, a different, deeper, truer version of yourself, I'd be honoured to walk along side you as you create it.
