For more than 25 years she has been working worldwide with individuals, groups and corporations mentoring, speaking, holding seminars and leading journeys… but most of all holding space for transformation to occur.
‘Eva Charlotte’ means ‘the giver of life, inviting you to set yourself free’.
From a very early age, Eva Charlotte perceived life differently than those around her. Gifted with intuitive abilities, and functioning as a conduit for transformative energies, people would seek her out to talk and be supported in challenging situations to create better circumstances for themselves. Personally, she always felt a longing for deep personal freedom and inner peace.
Gifts aside, Eva Charlotte pursued a secular life and soon had a successful career as a computer consultant; was actively involved in a variety of organizations; traveled the world; and had a rewarding personal life. Despite all the success, she was unfulfilled and her quest for freedom deepened.
It was through an array of extraordinary events that the trajectory of her life took a new course; three of these events were profoundly impactful.
After several years of skydiving, and more than 100 jumps, the inconceivable happened; at 4,000 feet her emergency chute failed. At that moment, surrendering all desire of control, the terror of her impending death gave way to something else…
“In a moment of intense clarity, I experienced myself as Life itself, as infinite love, faith, and wisdom, “I was completely at peace with everything, including the death of my physical body, which was fast approaching. I knew that I AM that which I had been searching for. I understood that I AM the creator of my own life experience, not the victim of it - and at that moment, I made a choice with all of my power to live my life fully - to be happy, healthy, and truly alive.”
Miraculously, Eva survived. Soon thereafter, everything began to change for her. She left the business world and began an intense self-inquiry...wanting to return to the place of true authenticity, peace, and pure potential she had experienced while skydiving.
Eva studied and taught with healers, shamans, and masters from many different traditions. Among these masters was don Miguel Ruiz, author of The Four Agreements. The Toltec master selected Eva for an individual, intensive training that lasted for nine years; during which time she worked as his business manager; lived as his partner; gave talks; taught workshops; and coached individuals alongside don Miguel and his family.
What came next for Eva would impact her far greater than hitting the ground from 10,000 feet. Eva was diagnosed with Lyme disease, among other things. Before fully realizing what was unfolding, Eva had lost everything. Not only was her health failing, but she was also left without a family, job/income and home. This was one of the most profound experiences of her life.
True to her own teachings that every circumstance can be an opportunity, Eva’s entire focus went into healing, replenishing and working with masters across the globe; this time to heal and strengthen her body and mind, while going deeper into awakening. She was once again in a free fall to her impending death, only this time it was much slower...measured in years, not seconds.
Eventually exhausted, she realized that there were no answers...no solutions to be found outside of her. Once again, the mental desire to control was released and there was peace. In this presence of existence itself, infinite potential naturally started flowing. The intense flow of life itself brought unresolved pain to the surface and Eva ended up in the emergency room and intensive care once again…this time with “broken heart syndrome” – heart failure.
For Eva, this was not a sign of illness, but of healing. Finally, her heart broke wide open and love, light, and joy flowed. Humbled, restored and renewed, she has set out to share with others the powerful process that birthed from her experiences.
Today, Eva shares her message Rise in Love & Be a Peacemaker, which is a message of authentic love of self and life; and the happiness that comes from stripping away personal stories, beliefs, and falsehoods that shield us from our true selves, releasing all need for mental control.
She further combines her many years consulting for businesses and working with executives, with her unique expertise, to create powerful programs that enhance company culture and the bottom line.
