About Me

Carola is a yogi, wife, and mother of two who founded Worthiam out of necessity and transformation. While working full-time in the fast-paced corporate world, she faced a life threatening infection that became a powerful wake-up call, pushing her to prioritize her mind-body well being. Two years later, during the pandemic, Carola- like so many others- was navigating the intense pressure of full-time work while parenting young children at home. The chronic stress, paired with unprocessed emotional weight, began to show up in her body as debilitating hip pain. Weekly physical therapy offered little relief, but when she began her meditation teacher training, something shifted. Through breathwork, stillness, and deep inner listening, she began to release not just physical tension, but the emotional pain stored underneath it- marking a profound turning point in her healing. This healing journey led her to become a 200-hour certified yoga instructor and a 200-hour certified meditation teacher, both recognized by Yoga Alliance.

For Carola, everything centers around one word: connection. Whether it's breath to body, mind to self, parent to child, or individual to the wider world, her daily practice- and her teaching- is rooted in building meaningful, compassionate connection.

Carola is currently pursuing her 500-hour yoga certification, with completion expected in June 2025. This advanced training focuses on joints, fascia, functional movement, posture, therapeutics, and yoga nidra- allowing her to guide students with greater knowledge, precision, and care.
