What my clients are saying
Sabrina S.
Biology Teacher
Carissa has given me so much quality of life back and has significantly improved my migraines with small changes. I actually thought that as a biology teacher I had a good understanding and that I already knew a lot about migraines from the numerous studies I had already read, but Carissa showed me that there is so much more. She has such a wealth of knowledge about migraines, it's truly incredible. I have been suffering from migraines for 30 years now and during my numerous visits to the doctor, no one has been able to help me as well as Carissa. I feel like so many people with migraines have come to terms with their situation after so many negative experiences, but you shouldn't, give it one last chance, I'm convinced it will be totally worth it!!! Since Carissa also offers online sessions, you can use it from any country. I met Carissa on my vacation and so I received her full support from Canada to Germany via video conference or WhatsApp - it was possible to ask her questions about it at any time, which she answered super quickly.

Ph.D., Food Studies
I have had migraine attacks over the past 10+ years and sought support from Carissa after the type of migraine attacks I was having shifted dramatically to include basilar aura symptoms. I have also previously sought advice from doctors, neurologists, yoga teachers, etc. but was unable to find the right fit that truly made a difference. Since starting to work with Carissa, however, I feel like I've been able to gain a big part of my life back (those of you with migraine know all too well how much these attacks can shut down your life). Carissa has helped me to systematize my approach to migraine, identifying triggers that I didn't even know were triggers before starting to work with her. It's a huge relief to not feel so isolated in living with migraine and to have someone who deeply understands the unique challenges of this health issue who can knowledgeably and empathetically provide support. As an added bonus, my overall health has improved due to our work together (stress management, energy, immune system), and I have been able to massively reduce the amount of medication (and essentially eliminate my need for migraine medications) thanks to the holistic approach tailored to my specific needs that Carissa has taken with me.

Carissa is the most knowledgeable person I met so far when it comes to migraines and non medical treatment with a holistic approach . I’ve been getting migraines for over 10 years after a concussion and nothing except medication seemed to help . The migraines I’m getting have drastically improved since working with Carissa ( according to the migraine tracking app I get 75% less migraines now , with lower intensity ) . With Carissa’s help we’ve pinpointed my triggers and adjusted my lifestyle accordingly. She was the first one who explained to me in depth what types of headaches there are , what causes them and what steps to take to lower the frequency, intensity and duration . This includes changes in nutrition , physical exercises , Craniosacral therapy ( very relaxing ! ) and reframing thinking patterns that would cause stress and anxiety . Carissa truly cares and I always feel safe and comfortable during our coaching sessions . My overall health improved so much with the help of her coaching . For other men : if you’re hesitant or worried about getting in touch don’t wait any longer . Men get migraines too and it’s absolutely ok to talk about it and take action!
