Our Philosophy
Well-being means better health, longer life, stronger relationships, greater academic success and better work performance. It is synonymous with leading a rich and fulfilling life.
Well Beyond shares research-based strategies from the pioneering field of positive psychology in combination with yoga practices to improve functioning and performance of individuals and groups, emphasizing personal strengths, engagement, purpose and positive relationships.
Focusing on what is good and right in our lives and building on these strengths is a research-supported strategy for greater well-being. When we feel good, we function better. And functioning better leads to greater resilience, the capacity to persevere through the hard times.
At Well Beyond, we support you to learn, practice and integrate new concepts and behaviors to bring more well-being into your life.

Testimonials
I worked with Carolyn during her tenure as Executive Director at Arm In Arm. As a consultant bringing positive psychology practices to her team, I was impressed by Carolyn’s openness and willingness to embrace new ways of managing to transform her staff culture. Over several years, I witnessed the positive impact of her efforts to empower her staff and to create a collaborative, cooperative and creative work environment. With her MAPP education, Carolyn is well-equipped to help other organizations to do the same. - Robert Rosales, MAPP, LEAD Academy | Positive Leadership Consultancy
Carolyn is an amazing Facilitator! She provided four targeted virtual sessions with my Senior Team. The sessions were very engaging, and they helped us develop useful strategies in work-life balance, team building, stress management relaxation exercises and positive thinking techniques.
Positive Psychology was a new technique for my team and I. Carolyn took the time to get to know all of our team members, and she met us all where we were. We engaged in four sessions with Carolyn over a five-week period. We all loved it, and we were sad, when our last session ended. - Tay Walker, CEO, YWCA Princeton
My sessions with Carolyn were really wonderful - whether it was the background of different scientific concepts, new mediation practices, or practical ways to incorporate positive psychology into daily routines, I feel like I gained so much. She was great at structuring the sessions and adjusting based on whatever I was most interested in exploring. She's both very knowledgeable and very compassionate! - individual client
