Carla Wainwright Creatrix Creatrix | S*x, Love & Relationship Coach | Priestess | Embodiment & Breath Facilitator

I started practicing yoga in 1996, the original motivation — to touch my toes! I had no idea the journey I was beginning to undertake would be so profound and transformational. Almost 20 years later, I can touch my toes, and along the way I discovered that my talent and my passion has become helping others nourish their unique journey toward self discovery. While most of my retreats and offerings are open to all, I am particularly passionate about helping women explore the divine feminine and embrace their indwelling power, the Shakti nature within. This work entails going deep, uncovering blocks, becoming embodied, balanced and strong on all levels, ultimately, becoming comfortable with feminine creativity, sexuality and personal power. As I continue the personal practice of embracing Shakti, I experience my evolution forward into myself. An increasingly empowering and liberating experience, I can’t help but feel compelled to help others (primarily women) experience this for themselves. I am the founding owner of Chinook Yoga in Prince George, BC and a Director within the Primary Faculty of the SOYA Yoga Teacher Training Program. I have more than 18 years of yoga teaching experience and have taught many practitioners to become yoga teachers themselves. I am also a Doctor of Homeopathy and I love to creatively integrate the principles of Yoga and Homeopathy to help unlock a student’s deepest potential within.

I recently joined Dar on her podcast, Call IT In With Dar, for a conversation about Sacred Metabolism; how our biology and feminine energy intertwine to create vitality, balance, and pleasure.

We explored what it means to listen to the wisdom of the body, how pleasure becomes medicine for the nervous system, and why aligning with both our physical and energetic rhythms can bring us back to a state of vibrancy and flow.

This episode is a reminder that the body isn’t a problem to fix but a sacred partner to nurture.

For most of my life, like so many women, I was conditioned to keep promises to others at all costs, even when it meant breaking promises to myself. That pattern led to overcommitment, depletion, and a constant sense of running on empty.

One of the surprising gifts of the perimenopausal and menopausal transition is that our brain chemistry begins to shift. The pull to people-please softens. The urgency to keep everyone else happy fades.
And it isn’t a loss. It’s a gain. You don’t feel broken. You feel clearer.

Here’s what’s happening in the brain: As estrogen levels fluctuate and decline, the areas of the brain most influenced by it (the prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and anterior cingulate cortex) begin to recalibrate.
• The drive to smooth things over lessens.
• Decision-making becomes sharper.
• It gets harder to tolerate what drains us and easier to choose what we truly need.

Estrogen and progesterone also interact with dopamine and serotonin, the neurotransmitters that shape motivation, mood, and reward. When they shift, we start seeing what actually matters and what no longer does.

You’re not losing yourself. You’re gaining a clearer, more honest version of who you are.

I’m noticing this shift in myself right now. It isn’t always easy, and old habits can be stubborn, but I’m learning to honour my needs with more compassion and courage.

That’s why I’ve made the decision to postpone the next round of my Feel Great in Your Body group program until January. It wasn’t about lacking energy. It was about alignment and showing up in integrity.

The truth is, I have the capacity and excitement to continue working with clients one-on-one, and I have space right now for two or three women who are ready to step into that deeper, personalized work.

Self-accountability is just as important as accountability to others. It’s what allows us to show up with clarity, honesty, and presence, not from obligation but from truth.

If you’re ready to reconnect with your body and honour your needs with more compassion, send me a message.

Every time I fast with intention, I’m giving a gift to the future version of me. She’s already thanking me.

Fasting has become one of the most powerful tools we have to support and heal the body. When practiced mindfully, it increases clean energy, clears damaged cells, balances blood sugar levels, supports hormonal health, strengthens immunity, and restores vitality at the deepest level.

But fasting is not one-size-fits-all. Women’s bodies are cyclical, whether we’re still menstruating or not, and those rhythms must be honoured.

When fasting is aligned with our natural cycles, it stops being restrictive and becomes restorative. It’s not about willpower. It’s about partnership with your body.

This is what I call Sacred Metabolism: blending science, feminine wisdom, and deep respect for your system.

If you’re curious about fasting and how it might support your health, send me a message. I’d love to explore how to bring this practice into harmony with your unique rhythm.

What if midlife wasn’t the decline everyone warns you about, but a second spring?

I recently joined Ellecia Paine on her podcast Nope! We’re Not Monogamous for a deep and honest conversation about Midlife, Menopause, and Non-Monogamy, and how this season of life can be a powerful reclamation of pleasure, power, and desire.

We spoke about how desire evolves as we do, why communication begins with the nervous system, and how boundaries sharpen with age, not as limitation, but as freedom.

We also explored how pleasure becomes medicine for hormones and vitality, why menopause can actually heighten sexual energy, and how midlife can be a portal into greater authenticity and connection.

If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t know what I want, but I know it isn’t this,” this conversation is for you. You’re not broken. You were born lovable. And you get to want what you want.

Listen to Nope! We’re Not Monogamous wherever you get your podcasts, and tag when you tune in.

If this episode resonates with you and you’re ready to reconnect with your body, your pleasure, and your truth, send me a message. I’d love to support you!

During perimenopause, estrogen begins to fluctuate; sometimes rising, sometimes falling. As you move toward menopause, the overall trend shifts downward.

Estrogen isn’t only about reproduction. It also plays a powerful role in calming your nervous system. You can think of it like a gentle shield that softens the impact of cortisol, your main stress hormone.

When estrogen begins to waver, that shield thins. Suddenly, things that once felt manageable can start to feel overwhelming. Your sleep may become lighter, your patience shorter, and your body more sensitive to life’s demands.

This isn’t a weakness. It’s biology.

That’s why nervous system care becomes so essential in midlife. Breathwork, rest, connection, and pleasure aren’t indulgences. They are the tools that soothe cortisol spikes and help restore balance.

Beyond the practical strategies lies the deeper, sacred work; returning to feminine practices, honouring sensuality, and creating rituals that don’t just manage stress but restore you at the deepest level.

If you’re feeling the effects of hormonal change and want support in restoring balance, send me a message. Let’s explore how you can reconnect with your body and find vitality again.

I loved sitting down recently with einav avni on the Healing Conversations podcast to talk about about how thriving in midlife isn’t about pushing harder - it’s about learning to listen to your body and nourish both your nervous system and your spirit.

Together we discuss:

✨ our "sacred metabolism” which weaves together biochemical science with the esoteric
✨ practical steps for reconnecting with energy
✨ the importance of reclaiming feminine power
✨ how pleasure and presence can have a radical impact on our well-being.

Whether you’re seeking to create healthier daily habits or longing to reconnect with your own inner wisdom, this conversation is filled with permission, compassion, and actionable insight. I invite you to settle in as we invite you to step back from life’s daily grind and rediscover the vibrant, creative energy that’s accessible to all of us!!
