Carrie Christiansen

I strive to create a space that feels approachable, supportive, and genuine. I tend to be easygoing and down-to-earth in my style—comfort and authenticity matter to me. My lived experience plays a meaningful role in how I connect with others. I was born without the lower part of my right arm and used a prosthetic hook from early childhood through junior high school. Growing up with physical differences, along with navigating chronic pain and personal losses, has given me a deep understanding of resilience, adaptation, and what it means to move through life’s challenges. I understand struggle on a personal level, and I believe that shared humanity allows for real connection and healing.
