Hello! I'm Carla.
Thank you for visiting our website. My name is Carla McLean, and I am so glad you are here!
​
I started Soul to Sole Wellbeing because I love to help and empower people to have good health, find their joy and to live their best life now. I have seen and experienced first-hand the power of Retreats, Holistic Therapies, Life Coaching, Yoga, Energy/ Vibrational work and learning.
​
I am grateful to have work that I adore, am passionate about and that feeds my Soul. I have learnt so much about myself on my journey and in the last 10 years running Soul to Sole Wellbeing. Also, I am passionate about self discovery, self learning and self development and that will never change.
​
My own experiences have enabled me to achieve a greater empathy with others and their experiences. I am thankful to all my teachers along the way, and I believe if you serve your purpose, your purpose will serve you.
​
Namaste, Carla 💖.
What Makes My Heart Sing?
Clients that I see for Holistic Treatments or Yoga classes invariably leave with less pain or discomfort, feeling more balanced, relaxed, and positive with an inner sense of wellbeing. Teaching the numerous workshops I deliver on Energy Therapies or Self Love, Spiritual Growth, hosting my Yoga and Wellbeing Retreats and seeing instant results from people with new tools for their empowerment.
​
After a life coaching session, to see clients leave with more understanding and self-belief in themselves, armed with a self-empowering plan of action for their needs and circumstances is amazing, and hugely rewarding.
​
One of the most rewarding parts of my job is to witness how even one treatment, class, workshop or life coaching session can encourage clients to have more self-compassion. This can range from drinking extra water, finding the time to have a relaxing bath, a walk on the beach, speaking more gently and being kinder to themselves, or just simply buying a bunch of flowers.​
With this in mind and to achieve the above on a longer and more in depth scale - Yoga and Wellbeing Retreats had always been a dream of mine. To help and empower people along their Soul journey. The last few years have seen that dream come true and I am delighted to be hosting successful international Yoga and Wellness Retreats.
Being able to facilitate clients’ good health and growth in mind, body and spirit is a privilege. I am extremely grateful, and honoured to play a role in their journeys of self discovery, peace and self love.

My Story
​
I understand what it is like to feel stressed in all areas of life and how it can affect your health. I have seen and experienced first-hand the power of Holistic Therapies, Life Coaching, Energy Work, Learning and Yoga, either individually or together in the form of a Retreat.
​​
I have worked in many stressful environments. Including eleven years in the corporate world of recruitment in London – a job I loved. However, it did demand a high degree of energy, dedication and of course, time management to ensure successful hitting of targets. As a result, I used to have regular treatments of Reflexology and Reiki to help me relax and keep my performance at work at optimum level.
​​
This being said, I would have personally benefited from a
corporate wellness initiative (including Life Coaching) for a work-life balance if it had been available to me at the time. I know now both are formidable tools that I benefit from each and every day, and I am hugely passionate about them.
