For most of my life I have had one goal, that is, to lift others up. The first area I found that I could help others was through flowers. In times of joy and sorrow flowers seemed to lift others spirits. This passion led me to open my first business, Carrie Robbins Floral & Fragrance co. in 1987.   There I began to create potpourris and toiletries based on simple natural healing principles as well as sell flowers. It was during this time I happened upon one of the first  books on aromatherapy, The Art of Aromatherapy  by Robert Tisserand. This book introduced to me the principle of vibrational healing, which is that disease could be corrected by using different substances and techniques to subtly restore balance in the body and in turn restore health.  That book changed my perspective on disease and healing and that began a quest to find the perfect modality to enrich the lives of others. Shortly after that discovery I happened to come across the works of Dr Edward Bach, a London physician, whose discovery of flower essence therapy changed the natural healing field. Dr Bach treated illness on the basis of one's emotional state.

Then one day while at the local library I stumbled upon the book Feet First by Laura Norman. This was the first time I had ever heard of reflexology. Immediately I was fascinated by the idea of pressure applied to one area of the body could help to balance another area of the body. Another piece in the energy healing puzzle was found.

In the summer of 1997 I happened upon Ayurveda, the science of life from India while at a spa show in Las Vegas there I met Melanie and Robert Sachs 2 amazing people that transformed my thoughts of meditation and healing. Merging Indian and Tibetan perspectives of meditation as a tool for healing they showed me how important a non-reactive mind was to health and happiness. Finally, a casual mention of the works of Joel S. Goldsmith creator of the infinite way by a friend has led me to integrate the principles of non duality into my healing work. Each day I am constantly refining and simplifying this work with the goal of making it accessible to all who seek peaceful and healthy life.. ​

​ Over the past 37 years I have had the honor of studying many energy healing modalities with some of the greatest teachers in the field. Each one helped me to refine my vision and in turn led to the creation of the sobolance method.
