In her private practice, Carista integrates lifelong research on childhood development and how it impacts self-identity and adult relationship dynamics. This is especially important for those who experienced developmental trauma and struggle to sustain healthy, productive relationships.

Carista’s Luminary Leadership approach focuses on personalizing a self-actualization path for those who want to efficiently clear their historic conditioning and embody their true nature with a fulfilling purpose.

She offers practical wisdom for rewiring insecure bonding patterns to positive secure-functioning relationships, which can be directly integrated into one’s personal, familial and professional relationships. 

After graduating from Harvard University in Psychology and Social Relations in 1978, and completing her post-graduate degrees, Carista pioneered educational programs on early attachment that focused on preventing and repairing childhood developmental trauma, and its impact on Self-Worth.

Carista has developed a comprehensive holistic parenting methodology, a leading-edge evolutionary leadership program, and a practical attachment approach for couples to rewire from insecure to secure love. She custom-designs short and long term programs for each client’s unique needs.
