MEET YOUR COACH

Carla Garcia, MSW


I’m Carla, a chronic pain coach, sound healer, and proud LA native.

I help people understand the mind-body connection and heal pain from the inside out. I’ve been doing this work for over four years now, but it started way before that, with my own story.

Like many of my clients, I spent years trying to make sense of knee and neck pain that didn’t seem to have a clear cause. What I eventually learned (and now teach) is that pain isn’t just physical, it’s deeply connected to our nervous system, unprocessed emotions, and the ways our brains have learned to protect us.

I have my Master’s from USC (Go Trojans!), and I’m certified in Pain Reprocessing Therapy, a science-backed approach that helps rewire the brain’s pain pathways. I trained under Alan Gordon in Beverly Hills, one of the top experts in chronic pain recovery, and my agency’s medical advisory board included Dr. Schubiner, another leading figure in the field. Now, I support clients through 1:1 coaching sessions that blend neuroscience, emotional healing, and nervous system regulation.

But more than anything, I take a relational approach. This work is tender. I show up as a human first, someone who will gently call you forward, sit with you through the hard stuff, and always hold you with care.

If any of this resonates, I’m here for you and would be honored to be part of your healing journey.
