Practitioner Spotlight: Carly Bonar – A Pioneer in Holistic Skin Care and Groundedness
We are thrilled to spotlight Carly Bonar, a multifaceted holistic aesthetician, integrative coach, and shamanic practitioner, who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our Ren practitioner community.
Carly's unique approach to holistic skin care and wellness makes her an invaluable asset to our team.
Carly's Personal Journey
Carly began her career as an esthetician in 2001, working in a cosmetic-focused industry. However, she quickly realized that skin issues were often linked to deeper emotional and physical imbalances. Her own struggles with cystic acne and personal transformation during a challenging period in her life led her to explore the connections between skin health, diet, and emotional well-being.
At around 27 or 28, Carly experienced a significant life shift, moving across the country to Tucson, Arizona. There, she immersed herself in holistic practices, working at a green spa and learning about foods, emotions, and their impact on skin health. This journey also involved seeking out various wellness modalities such as acupuncture, network chiropractic, and eventually diving into energy work.
Integrative Practices and Modalities
Carly’s practice evolved to include a range of holistic techniques. She became attuned in Reiki, learned Emotion Code, muscle testing kinesiology, and began integrating these practices into her skincare routine. Her ability to listen to and understand the body’s signals allowed her to connect with her clients on a deeper level, addressing not just the surface issues but the underlying causes of skin disruptions.
Her diagnosis with an autoimmune disease further deepened her commitment to understanding women's health, trauma, and the intricate connections between diet, gut health, and skin. Through extensive research and personal healing, Carly developed a holistic approach that blends various wellness practices to promote overall health and well-being.
Ren Sessions Offered by Carly
Your Skin From Within: Skin Mapping
Carly offers a unique session called "Your Skin From Within: Skin Mapping." This session is based on Eastern modalities and Chinese medicine, where each part of the face corresponds to an inner part of the body or a chakra channel. By examining chronic skin conditions and their locations on the face, Carly helps clients uncover underlying internal imbalances.
Skin mapping sessions are personalized, allowing Carly to address each individual's specific needs. She looks at physical factors, lifestyle habits, emotional states, and more to get to the root of skin issues. This holistic approach empowers clients to take control of their skin health and make informed choices that promote long-term well-being.
Grounded Manifestations
Carly also offers a session called "Grounded Manifestations," drawing from her background in ontology and personal experiences with trauma. This session focuses on helping clients clarify their desires and take actionable steps toward manifesting their goals. By aligning words and actions, Carly guides clients in creating a life of integrity and fulfillment.
