About Carissa Ann

Hi, I'm Carissa Ann.

It's wonderful to "meet" you.
 

I'm thrilled to share a glimpse into the journey that brought me to Altering Pathways. While I could speak volumes, I'll aim for clarity.
 

My path has been long and multifaceted, marked by experiences many of us silently carry: defeating karma, enduring persecution, navigating abuse, betrayal, poverty, and challenging relationships. These are the deep waters we often feel ashamed to discuss and stem from the limiting beliefs we inherit. But I've learned that these experiences no longer have to hold power over us.
 

Many of us hide from our pain—in drama, through avoidance, or in solitude. We bury our hurts, fearing to feel or lacking the tools to overcome. We hesitate to be truly seen, heard, and loved. I was once there, losing myself bit by bit, until I faced a choice. Instead of dying, I chose to crawl out of that pit, become an observer, and consciously choose life, love, and self-acceptance.
 

Some people hide... some people seek.

Are you ready to be a seeker?
 

I've learned how to:
 

• Overcome adversity

• Trust my intuition

• Love myself unconditionally

• Know my true essence

• Grow continuously
   

I am a leader, first of my own life, and now, a guide for others. I'm ready to help you make similar choices. Your journey won't be identical to mine, and I'm not here to offer a rigid 1-2-3 guide. My purpose is to empower you to realize your profound worth and equip you with the personalized tools you need to navigate your path.
 

While my personal story—my degrees, my work, being a mom, my significant weight loss, even childhood traumas— can help us connect on many level, what truly resonates is this: I've been there. I've navigated intense challenges, and I'm no longer afraid of the unknown. I'm ready to help you through the "craziness" of this "Earth School" experience. This life, whether chosen or allowed, is ultimately our responsibility.
 

If your life has been hard, know you still have a huge impact to make. If you're always dealing with something, you still have so much to offer the world. The point of trials isn't suffering; they are essential lessons for growth—in your mind, body, spirit, family, emotions, relationships, and communication. Let's learn how to incorporate those lessons into your own wellbeing!
 

I am simply an "old soul", rich with lived experience and deep wisdom, ready to empower you with love as you uncover your authentic self and find your unique purpose. Let me help you find yourself, and then bravely choose yourself.

​

Love Always,

Carissa Ann
