Who am I?

I’m Carly Tway. An Entrepreneur, Ritualist, Guide, and Spiritual Practitioner. My work is about assisting people through life’s thresholds with clarity, intention, and sacred structure. I help women and seekers navigate transitions, rebirth into new versions of themselves, and come into alignment with who they are becoming.

Are you standing at the precipice of a catalyst moment, where everything you know is about to transform… and where everything you desire is waiting on the other side?

A catalyst moment is when your entire life shifts, your identity transforms, and what you thought you knew no longer aligns with reality. This could be a divorce, a breakup, losing a job, becoming a new mother, relocating, or watching your lifelong dreams unravel. These are the times when life unravels before your eyes. These moments feel like broken dreams, but in truth, they are invitations into a sacred initiation.

Have you ever navigated one of these transitions and felt lost, apathetic, or as if life lacked meaning? I know how that feels. Without the knowledge of sacredness and initiation, these transitions can feel mundane, chaotic,  and lacking in nourishment. But with the right blend of sacred practices, even the most challenging experiences can become meaningful and transformative. When we cross life’s thresholds as a sacred initiation, these very same challenges transform into profound opportunities for growth and empowerment. 

I know this journey intimately. I grew up with a professional athlete as a father. One of the greats in his field of work. I grew up surrounded by greatness, which inspired me to strive for greatness as well. However, when I moved to L.A. out of high school to pursue my dreams as a professional dancer, I was met with a different fate. I believed I could follow in my father’s footsteps and could outwork and out-manifest everyone to achieve my dreams. Instead, I found myself to be just another pretty girl in a big city with big dreams and not much to show for it, a sad statistic. Feeling lost and empty despite my privileges, I spent months numbing myself, isolating, and sitting alone at the Hollywood Overlook, seeing a sea of people yet feeling the depths of loneliness. There was no sacredness in this moment of despair– yet. It began subtly… a chance coincidence, a soul-stirring book, a conversation at just the right time.

Each glimmer whispered, 'There is more... '

Through these glimmers, I discovered the power of sacred initiation. I realized that every catalyst could either break us or serve as the platform for our growth and becoming. 

The realization that my dream, which I had since I was six years old, wasn’t coming true became the catalyst for a new dream: starting my business. But as I’m sure you all know, there is not just one catalyst. There are many. I moved from L.A. to Orange County with a new dream to open my first brick-and-mortar location.

Months after its opening, I was forced to close. Once again, everything I thought was aligning crumbled in front of me, and I had to rebuild again. Not long after, I opened another location. Eight days after opening, I woke up to an eviction email. In that moment, every ounce of hope seemed to dissolve into thin air. That could have crushed me, but instead, I persevered. I rebirthed and sacredly initiated myself once more. Now, I stand in Merkababe Designs, Laguna Beach—the third iteration of what was once a broken dream and is now my life’s work.

The difference between a transition without sacred meaning and one with it is profound. Without sacredness, these transitions can feel like a void, confusing, empty, and disconnected. They can take your life by storm, and feel like they last forever. However, when approached as a sacred initiation, these very same challenges become powerful catalysts for your greatest becoming. The pain and uncertainty are alchemized into purposeful, sacred growth, turning your most challenging moments into the most impactful and powerful experiences of your life.

Now, I guide others through these transformative experiences. I’ve walked this path, and Spirit has called me to help you discover the sacred in your journey.

The choice is yours: to let this catalyst moment shape you, or shatter you. To step timidly into the unknown, or to rise sacredly into the life that’s been waiting for you.

This Work Is a Sacred Devotion

Walking with others through life's thresholds is not just what I do — it is my sacred devotion.
Whether you’re navigating grief, heartbreak, rebirth, identity shifts, spiritual awakenings, or quiet initiations the world may never see, I am here to hold the space with you.
Together, we bring ritual, structure, and meaning to the transformations you are living through.

Clients often describe my work as grounding, clarifying, deeply nourishing, and profoundly activating.

I don’t tell you who to become.
I help you remember who you already are.

You Are Not Broken.

You Are Becoming.

This is not work about fixing.
This is about unfolding.

You are not a problem to be solved or a project to be completed.
You are a living, breathing work of sacred art — in the beautiful, messy, miraculous process of becoming.

My devotion is to create the space, offer the tools, and walk alongside you as you meet yourself more fully, with reverence, courage, and grace.

If you find yourself standing at the threshold...

Let's cross it together.

A Bridge Between Worlds

With one foot in academia and the other in the altar room, I blend the worlds of science and spirit. I'm currently pursuing a double major in Psychology and Philosophy, with a deep passion for Taoism, depth psychology, existential thought, somatics, and ancient wisdom traditions. I bring this lens into everything I offer, whether it’s a private ritual or a deeper journey.

My path blends structured knowledge with soul, discipline with devotion, and modern depth work with ancient ways of knowing.

My certifications include:

  • Women’s Circle Facilitation

  • Somatic Trauma Therapy

  • Reiki & Energy Work

  • Sound Healing & Vibrational Alignment

  • Meditation & Breathwork

  • Dance Medicine

  • Cacao Ceremony Facilitation and more

Each of these modalities supports the body, heart, and spirit, because real change is holistic.
