For the woman who has been through the fire and is ready — to heal, to write, to rise, and to finally, fully shine! ☆ Known to some as, “The Sailing Yogi,” Carole Fontaine teaches by sharing stories of her 20 years of living aboard a sailboat to illustrate the life lessons and challenges she overcame. A successful professional graphic designer, she left the busy world of design after her health fa
iled and sent her on a 10-year journey to search for answers and heal from chronic disease. She studied holistic and yogic philosophies and learned ways to manage her health. This ignited a passion for teaching and helping women apply simple techniques to live healthier lives and discover their heart’s purpose. Carole is a certified Life Coach, who teaches Meditative Writing, Shakti Dance® Yoga, and Reiki at the Master level. Readers live vicariously through Carole’s journey of finding her voice, taking control of her health, and discovering her passion, forgiveness, strength, and empowerment—all while sailing the ocean, diving in caves, swimming with sharks, surviving hurricanes, waking up in a sinking boat, and maneuvering in a meager 41 feet of living space with an unconventional husband and, of course, a dog. Who on earth would purposely choose to live this type of inevitably challenging and non-conforming life? One who sought the freedom to reclaim and reinvent herself—meet Carole—she’s driven to inspire others to rise above omnipresent (and sometimes self-induced) drama, so she could manifest a life that offers true prosperity and authentic happiness.
