About Carmen

“Be the change you want to see in the world” —Mahatma Gandhi

Continuing in the footsteps of my grandfather, a homeopath who lived and studied with Carl Jung, I have been passionately involved in Healing Arts and Education for over 30 years.

I began with Tai Chi at the age of twelve, becoming a lifelong student of Asian Healing Arts. In 1981, I set up practice as a licensed Massage Practitioner and was soon trained in the use of the Bach Flower Remedies and Polarity Therapy while living at the Alive Polarity Institute.

I began my Acutonics training in 2001 with Donna Carey and Marjorie de Muynck, founders of the Acutonics Healing System, and have remained closely connected to the Acutonics Institute of Integrative Medicine over the past twenty years. I make regular sojourns to the ‘Mothership’ to stay aligned with the growth and development of the Acutonics® Program and curriculum, as well as to continue my private mentorship with Donna Carey.

In 2005, I completed my Acutonics Teacher’s training and went on to become a graduate of the Asian Healing Arts & Whole Foods Nutrition Program at the Heartwood Institute in Northern California, where I studied and later taught Heart Mind Shiatsu and Five Elements theory.

With a history of accomplishments as a Montessori teacher and celebrated creative arts educational programs for children, I bring my passion for teaching into my current Healing Arts Classes, along with my practice in creating ritual and ceremony inspired by my involvement in shamanistic studies.

As a mother of four beautiful children, I now live and practice on Lopez Island, Washington.

My Philosophy

As an Acutonics teacher, I believe in the power of community and connectedness, where creativity and wisdom intertwine to foster profound healing. I am passionate about preserving the integrity of this ancient practice while integrating it with modern holistic therapies.

Through sound healing, I strive to create a balanced and nurturing environment where each individual can experience the full spectrum of health and well-being.

My approach is rooted in the passion I bring to my teaching, ensuring that the essence of this sacred work is honored and passed on with care.

Annie Hart

Carmen is truly a gift and I got so much from her and the course that I am illuminated and will be absorbing it for quite a time to come. Fantastic!”

Kathy lamberti

Carmen is an excellent teacher and the class was great!

Jenny Bode

Carmen teaches an informative and inspired course, gently guiding her students into into the world of sound healing. Her thoughtful responses and caring attitude encourages students of vastly different backgrounds to deeply study Acutonics and to apply those principles into our everyday lives.”

Karen Simone

I enjoyed this class once a week for 6 weeks as it made it so that I could apply the information given and solidify into action. We had the opportunity to ask if we had questions before class started every time and that was so great instead of just hoping I understood it, I got to really know! I’d recommend this class with Carmen highly!

Michiko Ebanks

It was my first time joining the online study group and it was very informative. I leaned about the Earth element from the various perspectives and I would be interested in the future classes.”

Shawna Fisher

I love the way Carmen teaches and the power of Acutonics. This class allowed me to access a deeper understanding of the foundations of Chinese medicine which has helped me immensely in my practice and life.”

Judy Richardson

I really enjoyed the class I took from Northwest Acutonics – very informative! Carmen was a warm, welcoming, and thorough instructor.”

Petra Cox

Loved the class. I have learned so much. Carmen is a wonderful teacher. Her uplifting energy made learning a very joyful experience. Thank you.”

Julie Capozzi

This course was amazing..really connected the magic of the acutonic tuning forks to planetary vibrations mythology and archetypes.”

Viola Crowder-Moger

I thoroughly enjoyed this course and the expansion of my knowledge of musical intervals and the layering of sound on and above acupuncture points. Although I have used many of the sound instruments separately over the years, I look forward to exploring the use of several of them in a single setting. Carmen is a gem :)”
