Carrigan bridges cutting-edge science and ancient wisdom with deep, transformative coaching. She leads fearlessly, showing clients how to alchemize past pain into personal power and claim sovereignty in life.
"Life has been the greatest teacher in preparing me to fearlessly go deep with my clients. I've been to the depths myself many times and know the way back to the surface. I know how to occupy depth and heights of existence simultaneously and find peace through it all. From elite athlete to drug addict, from romantic tragedy to Peace Corps Volunteer, with a medical trauma background and long denial of a bipolar diagnosis, I've managed to create freedom from trauma, mental serenity, and bliss in love. Life has thrown me challenges in every arena and I'm here to show you how to alchemize all of your past pain into personal power so you can lead yourself to your dream life."
STories of transformation
"Eventually, the skills I learned to survive became the tools I use to thrive. "
Over the last fifteen years I led myself out of abysmal depression, panic attacks, aggression, substance abuse, domestic abuse, food allergies, failure, and fear, using what I now know are functional, mind-body medicine tools and shadow integration.
A Narrative of THRIVING.
After over a decade of elite training as a competitive swimmer, I was injured before I was able to fully actualize my potential. I sought the help of conventional medicine without relief and what began as grief quickly sank into a disparaging ego death at the early age of seventeen. At that time I didn’t realize the role my training, mental focus, and pointed purpose had served- it was an antidote to trauma, and when it was gone my entire world fell in on itself as I was met with a much larger dose of reality. For the next 5 years, I would experience a cataclysm of mind, body, and soul in every arena of life- the pain redoubled on itself and led to more poor experiences; I ended up in some very unsafe, unhealthy, isolating circumstances.
​
I was broken, but on some level I knew that what I was experiencing was not pathological madness. On some level, I knew that if I could lead myself through those experiences, then I could handle anything. ​
Using my body as a vessel and my mind as a tool, I altered my state of being to serve my potential instead of sabotaging it. Eventually, the skills I learned to survive and recover, became the tools I use to thrive. Every day became a great game of optimizing toward my highest human potential. Without guidance, support, or understanding, I faltered many times but eventually developed a lifestyle and principles that I could rely on. Today, I know these evidence-based principles by name- functional medicine, mind-body medicine, shadow integration, positive psychology, quantum mechanics, radical self-honesty, etc- however, at the time, they came in the form of intuitive hits and old texts.
lost in a biological feedback loop...i needed a coach.
The keys to unlocking your power and actualizing
your personal human potential are what I wish to share with you.
​Eventually, the skills I used to survive and recover, became the tools I use to thrive. Every day became a great game of optimizing habits and calibrating toward my highest human potential.
After studying to become a Functional Medicine Health Coach the scientific explanation of why some things worked, and others didn't, was revealed. Looking back at my journey many of the keys I found have names.
Those insights on how to effect lifestyle change and incorporate behaviors that support the actualization of your personal human potential are what I wish to share with you.
