About Carla Maria
As a young child, I would stare up at the sky and wonder what my life had to offer. Was the universe about escapism? A place to dream? to go on adventures and to explore? No, dreaming was not nearly enough, a workable plan would be necessary to achieve my potential in life.

After education and work experience I settled in Australia, on the Gold Coast because here the ‘ocean meets the bush’ and nature is a huge part of my astrological work. To me we are a part of nature and nature is a part of who we are. Much of my inspiration comes from the land I dwell on and am surrounded by. I therefore pay my respects to the Yugambeh and Bundjalung people, the traditional custodians of the lands, and waterways. I pay my respect to their elders, past, present and emerging. For the past 20 years I have worked as a registered nurse in medicine and mental health,as a qualified counsellor, meditation teacher, and practitioner of holistic human development, balinese massage, reiki, psychic, mediumship and forever a student of astrology.
The Oxford dictionary describes astrology as ‘The study of the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies interpreted as having an influence on human affairs and the natural world’. Or simply put ‘the study of the sun, moon, stars and planets in the belief that they affect the character and lives of people’. Astrology is more than simply reading your horoscope, or that of your partner. It is about evolution, it is about discovering who you are, what your talents are, the best way to make use of your innate gifts while moving forward, be the best version of yourself. In my reading, I work with your planets and stars to help you reach your potential while identifying your shadow parts (yes, we all have them).

I offer astrological readings to give you a deeper understanding of yourself and an awareness of the tools needed to help navigate and learn important life lessons. The consultation will serve as a guide through life’s challenges. With compassion, humor and wisdom gained through years of study and observation, I will help you understand and explore the mysteries of your experiences, gain valuable awareness of your innate character, and encourage you to manifest your best traits.
