1-on-1 Spiritual Coaching with Carol Merlo
Sometimes what someone needs is not a program or a strategy. It is a witness — someone who will listen carefully, without an agenda, and help you hear yourself clearly.
That is the work I do in spiritual coaching.
I have been a licensed spiritual practitioner with the Centers for Spiritual Living for over 15 years. My background in psychology, consciousness studies, and New Thought philosophy gives me a range of tools that most coaches don't have access to. But the most important thing I bring to a session is not a technique. It is attention — the kind that helps you get to the root of what is actually happening, so we can address it at the level where it lives.

What Happens in a Session
A session begins with you telling me what you want — not what you think you should want, but what is genuinely calling to you. We look honestly at what isn't working and why. We set a clear intention for what you want to experience differently.
From there the work varies depending on what you need. I may assign a practice — an affirmation, a spiritual inquiry, a specific meditation. We close every session with a Spiritual Mind Treatment: a combination of guided meditation and affirmative prayer rooted in Science of Mind principles. It is one of the most powerful tools I know for shifting the inner conditions that determine outer experience.
You will leave feeling clearer, more grounded, and more connected to the part of yourself that already knows what to do.

This Work Is Right for You If
- You are navigating grief, loss, a major life transition, or a difficult season you can't seem to move through on your own
- You feel disconnected from your sense of purpose or inner direction
- You are dealing with fear, anxiety, or limiting beliefs that haven't responded to other approaches
- You want support that is grounded in both psychological understanding and genuine spiritual practice — not one or the other
- You are an entrepreneur who needs the deeper personal work alongside or before the business work
- You want someone who will take your spiritual life seriously and bring real skill to working with it

What Clients Say...
At that time, I was feeling alone, very sad, and filled with grief. After listening patiently to me describe my inner pain, Carol’s treatment was perfect for me. She was able to remind me of my connection to Spirit. Not just my connection, but children’s and everyone’s.
The realization was that I have a return to my natural state of joy, and a sense of freedom. Together we realized that I had lost my trust and faith in the power of Spirit to be present in their lives. We treated for confidence that I knew that I was doing the right thing and therefore no fear of inflicting harm of any type.
Each day since then I have joyfully repeated the treatment of releasing this tendency I have of holding on to an over developed sense of responsibility and control. I gladly and joyfully have given that up and have felt such an increase in confidence and joy in all of my activities. I’m no longer tense, and anxious. I feel a sense of joy and confidence daily because I’ve reconnected to my sense of safety and acceptance in Spirit and its infinite power and love.

In March of 2023, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. When I got the news, I felt lost and afraid. I decided to get a treatment from Carol Merlo. While Carol was doing the treatment, I quietly meditated with her. When it was over, I felt a slight shift, but didn't think anything of it at the time. 3 weeks later I had a bilateral mastectomy and when I woke up from the surgery, I was told that they got "all" of the cancer out. I was relieved and wanted to rejoice right then and there. It's been a year and a half since I have been cancer free. Thank you Carol Merlo this stuff really works!

At the time I had been experiencing a lot of negative internal dialogue about certain aspects of the health of my parents, who are dealing with grave illnesses, which has been the cause of great concern not just for me, but for our entire family.
Carol helped me to recognize that I can visualize that their true selves are always healthy and cannot be touched by illness. Rather than having me treat for a miracle, she only asked that I recognize the truth - that while their physical bodies may be sick, their souls are forever healthy in spirit. I began to recite this in my Spiritual Mind Treatment.
Over time I have become less anxious and negative about their health problems, which has led to improved health for myself, and somehow for my mom as well. I really feel that Carol's methodical approach to how to do Treatments is good for someone like me, since I tend to do well with precise instructions that give me a solid plan to follow. So, I'd like to say thank you Carol for everything.

Prior to Carol’s treatment, I would get tangled up into other people's problems and drama. It would severely drain my energy every time a friend contacted me with a problem. I would become emotionally entangled in the problem.
Thanks to the treatment I received from Carol, I am much more relaxed when my friends call to vent or ask advice. I have found confidence that I was unaware of before and I no longer absorb people’s baggage.

I like Carol as a coach because she's effective and efficient in helping me help myself in accomplishing the goals I set for myself. In addition, she helps me clarify my goals for myself. She's an active listener and asks the deep-probing questions that help me more clearly see and articulate what it is I want to accomplish. I'm able to achieve my goals through actionable plans with a timeline and measurable action steps. She's also pleasant, easy to communicate with and has a good sense of humor while always being professional and demonstrating her expertise in breadth and depth. Carol is truly a coach in that she supports me in developing myself to a higher level of performance.

I’ve been taught by Carol twice and found her to be a perceptive, thorough, and thoughtful person. She puts so much preparation and care into every meeting and offers a high level of expertise. She helped me gain valuable insights and apply them to my life in meaningful ways. I particularly like her sense of humor! Working with Carol is a pleasure and I hope I get the opportunity to do so again.
