Carola Eastwood has been a professional counselor, business success coach, author, and Human Design Consultant for over two decades. She has appeared on national TV, hosted radio shows, and spoken at national conventions. Driven by her calling to help others awaken to their highest truth, Carola has dedicated her life to guiding people in realizing their potential and living more joyful, fulfilling lives. 

Carola discovered her calling during a moment of crisis. As a young woman, she had to put her first child up for adoption and then found herself financially unable to care for her second. After sending her second child off to live with grandparents, Carola was devastated. Overwhelmed by grief, feeling lost and empty, Carola stepped out onto the edge of the steep cliff behind her house, and as she considered whether or not the jump would be high enough to kill her, something miraculous happened. From the open window of her living room, she heard the chorus of George Harrison’s
“My Sweet Lord”:

“I really wanna see you, Really wanna be with you
Really wanna see you, Lord, But it takes so long, my Lord”

Not a religious person, Carola had never really prayed in her life, but in that moment, she was moved to call out: “God, if you’re there, I really need to see you.” She felt an immediate calm wash over her and the urge to jump was gone. She felt called to go to the mirror, and as she looked deep into her own eyes, she could see something looking back at her that wasn’t there before. It was her spirit, radiating with brilliant light and bathing her in a calming, reassuring glow. It was in this moment that Carola discovered her calling: to help others awaken to their spirit.

At age 22, Carola moved to a little mountain town in Southern New Mexico and was invited to join a small gathering of women.  While at her host’s home, she noticed a book on the shelf that called to her with such power that she ignored that little voice in her head that said she was being socially rude and she took it down and began reading. 

She couldn’t put it down. And before long she was overcome with a profound feeling of familiarity. The book was “As Above, So Below” by Alan Oken.  It was her first real introduction to astrology, which would be her first vehicle for practicing her calling. After pursuing a Masters in Counseling Astrology from the University of Humanistic Studies, Del Mar, CA, Carola completed a two-year post graduate program from the San Diego Center for Psychosynthesis, where she learned to facilitate deep psychological healing.

A perpetual student and seeker, Carola has completed years of post-graduate training in a variety of human development disciplines, including evolutionary psychology, psychosynthesis, past life healing therapy, and intuitive reading arts. For decades, she ran an established counseling and astrology practice, and wrote the popular “Planetary Cycles” column published by the Life Connection.

After decades of practicing and writing about astrology, she met Chetan, and was once again struck with a profound sense of familiarity. Not only had she found the love of her life, but she also found Human Design, and knew it was the next evolution in her calling.

She realized that Human Design was the missing piece of the puzzle in her mission to help others change their consciousness, transform old patterns and create their own destiny. Today, she co-presents Human Design seminars and trainings alongside her husband and partner, Chetan Parkyn. Carola created a series of successful Human Design Experiential Seminars, co-created the hugely popular Human Design Comprehensive Report and assists Chetan in presenting their ground-breaking Human Design Consultant Trainings. Carola co-authored “The Book of Destinies: Discover the Life You Were Born to Live”, published by New World Library, 2016.
