Life & Work with CarieAnn Ochs

Today we’d like to introduce you to CarieAnn Ochs.

Hi CarieAnn, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory. 
My story starts with “love”!!! Love for myself, and others!!! From a very young age, I started carrying trauma, and over the years, this had become acceptable to me but left me very unhappy inside!!! So, I chose to start the healing process!!!

Unknown to me at the time was how painful moving through trauma can be!! We are not taught much about this. It took me a few years to unearth (remember, be honest) about my first traumatic experience, this being at 18 months of age!!! Then also, not downplaying it!!!

By digging deeper into the feelings and my own reactions to this, I began to learn to validate myself!!! Once you realize only you can do this part, it becomes a little easier!!! I learned and taught myself how to move through this and find happiness!!! I am now able to help others!!! My clients do all the work I am just there to assist!!!

Through this process, I found that natural minerals, crystals, and rocks, help in assisting/aiding with energy as you explore your traumas and self!!! So I try to make various products that clients may like in assisting with their healing!!!

We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The road to greatness is never easy!!! Our challenges are exactly what sets us apart and makes us each unique!!! Accepting and learning ways to maneuver through life are necessary for happiness. Once you realize how important your choices are, then lessons can be learned!!! It is not easy to break cycles!!! Especially traumatic ones!!!

My biggest struggle has been promoting myself and my products!!! It is a necessity to stay true to yourself and believe in yourself!!! Take advice as it comes, and choose wisely which to use!!!

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I’m most proud of my passion for God, people, and rocks!!! I love taking raw/rough materials (crystals, rocks, fossils) and turning them into jewelry, decor, art, molds, cremation pieces, anything really!!! I love challenges, so I am always willing to try different things my clients ask for!!!

I also offer confidential healing assistance sessions!!! Anyone can schedule a free consultation to see if it may be a good fit for them. It’s like a form of counseling and self-exploration that will lead to a happier and more fulfilling life!!!

I think what sets my process apart from others is that I have sessions at a casino, on a park bench, at a dance club, an art gallery, or over the phone and video chat!!! Whatever helps the client, I try to do!!! Within reason, of course!!! As long as it’s fun and engaging!!!

Before we go, is there anything else you can share with us?
Be grateful; God put you here for a reason!!! The sooner you realize there is only one of you, the happier you will be!!! Do not doubt yourself; trust me, there are enough people out there already who do!!! Haha!!! And make sure you laugh every day!!! And thank the people that help you!!!
