Brooke Carlson

I am Brooke and I am a quarter Japanese, a quarter Polish and half Swedish. I have never broken a bone, but did get my first bee sting in the Spring of 2021. My favorite color is rainbow and I could eat noodles every day. I reside in Charlotte, NC with my husband, Christopher, who is an extraordinarily gifted musician and music teacher, and my 17 year old son, Gryphon, who lights me up and teaches me so much every single day. When I am not working, I love to hang with family, friends and furries, travel to places near and far, garden, cook and dance – especially to my favorite band, Phish, that I have been seeing live since 1993. In 1996 at the age of 19, I lost my mother to cancer and have spent a large part of my adult life navigating the unfathomable loss, healing the wound and coming to a deep “innerstanding” of how this circumstance has shaped who I am in the world. My superpowers are seeing the good and letting go. It has taken many healing paths and lots of shadow work to know that I am also very good at masking pain, but I have learned to make friends with this powerful, unavoidable teacher and am getting better at allowing myself to feel and process in order to be liberated. I am absolutely enamored with Mother Nature and work every day to be as aligned as possible with her. I make many mistakes. I used to procrastinate, now I Divinely discern. I have learned that perspective is everything, often shifting it is beneficial and I honor that yours may be different than mine. Most of my life I have been deathly afraid of singing while truly longing to unleash my voice, and it has been working with the plants (and my amazing husband) that has helped me reconcile the fear and open up. How liberating! I know that I am ultimately here in this Earth suit to serve and I feel absolutely blessed to be able to do life in a way that fills my being full!
