Today we’d like to introduce you to Carylanne Steinberg.
Hi Carylanne, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
My Spiritual Journey
My spiritual journey began when I was a young girl. There was a part of me that always knew there was something more to life, a deeper truth beyond what I could see or explain. I often seemed to know things intuitively, although I couldn’t quite understand how or why.
In my early twenties, I reached a turning point in my life. What some call a dark night of the soul, I experienced as a period of profound anxiety and depression. I was struggling, and traditional medicine wasn’t bringing me the relief I needed.
Then, one day, I met a woman who would change the course of my life. She was a Reiki Master Teacher, spiritual teacher, and bookstore owner. Something about our meeting opened a door to a new way of understanding myself and the world around me.
I began meeting with her weekly, and through her spiritual mentorship and consistent Reiki treatments, I gradually awakened to the profound connection between energy, mind, body, and spirit.
It felt as though I were waking up from a dream—a dream in which I had believed I wasn’t enough, or that my worth was defined by what I did or didn’t do. I began to understand that there was so much more to who I was than the roles I played, the things I accomplished, or the expectations I carried.
Little by little, my energy returned. I began to reconnect with myself, discover a deeper sense of inner peace, and explore the spiritual wisdom that had always been quietly calling to me.
Eventually, my journey led me to Virginia Beach, where I visited Edgar Cayce’s Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.). There, a new chapter began. My formal exploration of holistic health and healing took root, setting me on a path of continued learning, spiritual discovery, and service to others.
Looking back, I can see how these early experiences became the foundation of the work I am so passionate about today: helping others reconnect with their authentic selves, recognize their innate worth, and discover the wisdom, healing, creativity self expression and possibilities that live within them.
Carylanne Integrative Wellness is the vehicle in which I get to express my spiritual gifts and years of holistic training to be in service through life coaching, spiritual life guidance, energy healing, meditation, teaching and prayer.
A Life Rooted in Prayer, Creativity, Divine Service and Beauty
Over the past four years, affirmative prayer has become a foundational part of my spiritual practice. Through prayer, I have deepened my relationship with Spirit, cultivated greater trust in Divine guidance, and discovered the transformative power of aligning my thoughts and intentions with the truth of who I am.
Creative expression has always been one of my greatest joys. Whether I am creating essential oil blends, designing gemstone bracelets, or capturing the beauty of the natural world through photography, I find a deep sense of connection and inspiration in bringing beauty into form.
For the past five years, photography has become an especially meaningful part of my creative journey.
Three or four mornings a week, I make my way to the beach to witness the sunrise. This time is sacred to me—a personal communion with Spirit, a moment to become still, listen, and receive. As the light unfolds across the water, I am reminded of the beauty, wonder, and possibilities present in each new day.
Through photography, I seek to capture not only what the eye can see, but also the feeling, presence, and beauty that speak to the heart.
For me, spirituality and creativity are deeply intertwined. Both invite me to slow down, listen inwardly, trust my intuition, and allow something beautiful to emerge. They are ways I experience my connection with Spirit and share that beauty with the world.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
As a ( HSP) social gatherings , travelling , crowds were challenging. Along the way as earlier stated I had severe anxiety ,depression didn’t know how to fit in.
I also struggled financially as I had a strong desire to stay true to my calling.
What I gained from these challenges is that Living authentically, true to myself and my Spirit is the way for me
My faith and trust continues to expand.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
What sets me apart from others is my choice and willingness to live guided by Spirit
and to be who I Am.
I am most proud of the person I have become and the life I am living today. I am deeply grateful for my life and all that I have the opportunity to do, experience, and create.
As I look back on my journey, one of my greatest accomplishments has been overcoming anxiety, depression and lack, discovering the strength, wisdom, and resilience within me. Today, I am grateful to live a life filled with purpose, creativity, and service to others.
Perhaps what brings me the greatest joy is life itself, the opportunity to keep going, loving, growing and expanding, to live by example.
My journey has taught me that some of our greatest challenges can become the very experiences that deepen our compassion, strengthen our spirit, and allow us to be of greater service to others.
Is there anyone you’d like to thank or give credit to?
Over the past 30 + years, I have been blessed with many incredible mentors, therapists, energy practitioners, and bodyworkers. I hold the deepest gratitude for each and every one of them.
Through their encouragement, expertise, wisdom, and support, I have been able to nurture my health, navigate life’s challenges, heal, and continue to evolve. Each has contributed something meaningful to my journey.
And yet, I must say that for me, the greatest source of support has always been my first and most important relationship: my relationship with God, my Creator.
It is in this sacred connection that I find strength, guidance, peace, and the wisdom to continue growing into the fullest expression of who I am.
For this relationship, and for all the beautiful souls who have supported me along the way, my heart is filled with gratitude.
