Start your transformation with expert guidance
Carrie is a Digital Wellness Educator with Screen Time Clinic and a Registered Nurse with over 20 years experience in various healthcare education settings. As a long-term Nurse Educator, she understands the importance of customizing her consulting approach, to meet the needs of each group, individual and family. Carrie’s passion for digital wellness began in 2015, when she observed the daily, digital lure observed in her three teenage children.
“Early on, there were not any resources for my generation of children - it was like being in a dark room and feeling around for a light switch that did not exist. I wish there had been someone to guide me, but we just didn’t know enough. My children were not allowed to have phones until entering high school, but they pressured me every single day….it was grueling. It is my personal mission to proactively educate parents with young children and arm them with tools they need to protect their family.”
As part of her screen time wellness approach, Carrie collaborates with families in proactively creating an environment that includes healthy screen time balance. As daily lives become increasingly busy and the digital takeover of a child is insidious, parents are often not aware of their children’s digital health. “When I talk to the parent of a 3-year-old and tell them what’s coming, there are often two reactions…. curious concern or not my kid. I’m here to show you that it is everyone’s kid and the importance of creating a healthy, screen time household early on.”
Carrie also works with adults who need assistance in balancing their own screen time exposure. She helps people put individual measures in place for a healthy and productive life balance. Additionally, her medical field experience enables her to work with individuals, in shifting their focus to healthier life choices overall.
Carrie is also a Certified Nurse Case Manager and throughout her nursing career, she has educated a diverse group of individuals, including those living with chronic illnesses, using simple/ pointed goals to achieve overall wellness. Carrie’s Certified Corporate Wellness Certification and public speaking experience, also enables her to deliver informative digital wellness workshops to groups and businesses.
“We are no longer dealing with basic internet surfing, but an endless wave of distraction, a false sense of acceptance and witnessing the unfolding of an anxious world. There is no time to pause.”
Carrie is a wealth of knowledge and available for 1-1 consultations regarding healthy digital habits as well as seminars for corporate digital wellness, adult groups, parent groups and youth groups.
