Meet the Founder

Hello & Welcome! My name is Caroline Charlton, I am the founder of The Metamorphix Effect (TME), a trauma-informed Somatic Coaching practice for women who are already on their healing journeys yet are craving deeper transformation. Like most of you, I experienced debilitating anxiety, depression, ruminating thoughts, body image issues, disorderly eating, toxic relationships & substance abuse off & on for most of my life. The amount of pain & suffering I experienced has lead me to some dark places, even to attempting to take my own life at the age of 14. I imagine you are here because similar to me, you have had many moments that have lead you to seek relief from your pain & anguish. I desperately craved an answer or solution to alleviate the tremendous amount of physical, mental, & emotional pain I was in. Due to that desperation, I have been on a path of self-discovery & exploration since my early teens. Throughout my journey, I was voracious about learning any & all healing modalities, tools & techniques. Yet I still found myself slipping into old patterns, old belief systems, & old behaviors. Through all the trainings & certifications I earned, I had so many tools & was a wealth of knowledge. I was able to get temporary relief during my personal practices yet I was unable to truly reset & recalibrate my nervous system. The information stayed in my mind & I was unable to make that mind-body connection. What we call in somatic healing, ‘true embodiment’.

When I became pregnant with my son in 2017, I knew that I needed to make a serious & permanent shift. My real Self had always been there, it had simply been covered up by years of unprocessed trauma & childhood wounding. The unprocessed trauma still lived in my body & was subconsciously running my thoughts, choices, & actions. Although I had been in therapy for decades & had daily holistic practices to calm my nervous system, nothing seemed to permanently shift my system to a that new setting I desperately longed for. After years of searching, in 2019 I became more interested in somatic healing practices & Parts-work (IFS model). The powerful combination of these 2 modalities completely changed my life! I started being able to respond better to stress. My anxious & depressive feelings started to lessen. I was able to catch myself quicker in negative thought loops & switch to a positive outlook. I started caring less about what people thought about me. The more I took radical emotional responsibility the more I became the hero in my own story & no longer a victim. This provided me with such empowerment & it has only continued to grow & strengthen the more I continue to peel back the layers of my own healing. The amount of freedom & liberation I have personally experienced from somatic healing is priceless. I am no longer be a prisoner of unprocessed trauma & a dysregulated nervous system. My body’s natural setting is in that calm & relaxed state. AND I never thought this would ever be possible for me! I had started to accept that I would always feel somewhat depressed, anxious & unsafe in my body. This has truly been the medicine that I needed for inner peace & my body needed to feel safe again. Not to mention, the transformations I have witnessed in my clients has been incredible! It is a testament that these modalities work!

If any of this is resonating with you, I invite you to book a discovery call with me to see if I can support you on your metamorphosis journey to transforming into that beautiful butterfly you always have been.
