Thanks for taking the time to check me out. I don't have a bunch of fancy degrees and titles. I have a lot of amazing moments and experiences both good, bad, terrible, terrifying, heart breaking, unreal even, that have lead me to here. I am a 40 year old entrepreneur. That is a statement that 7 years ago if you would have told me that I would have laughed at you. About 8 years ago, I put my money where my mouth was to do the self work and hard work to get myself out of my terrible life to try and start over. I had just put my mother to rest after she passed from a long bout with cancer. I was her caretaker for the couple years prior to her passing. At the same time I was balancing taking care of my son (step son technically but I was his mom) and trying to keep us homed, clothed, feed and safe living with my husband who was an addict. Which made a lot of that difficult. This wasn't anything that was new, it had been like this for awhile on and off. But the addiction evolved into narcotics and once my mom passed, was a situation that was needing to be dealt with for everyone's safety. I had ben practicing yoga through the last part of my mother life, and decide to lean in and become a teacher. Adding those new skills helped me make some big life changes. I packed all my things in my vehicle and left, unfortunately alone, it was the scariest thing I had to do. I didn't know what was next. But I found out... it was the rest of my life. After cleaning up a lot of messes, my house was raided after I left, my husband was arrested, my son went to my husband's mother, my house was constantly being broken into, and eventually it ended up burning down with the rest of my things inside. But with the practice of teachings of yoga, lessons my mother taught me in her short well lived life, I am here. I left an abusive relationship, I started teaching yoga full time, I have been able to navigate healthy relationships, I opened my first yoga studio in the end 2018 and my second, I started my second business because of the pandemic, Authentic Yoga Retreats, and during the pandemic at the end of 2021 I opened my second studio. If I can make the shift...anyone can and I love to help motivate and teach individuals how to.

In 1989, Dr. Raymond Carr became an FBI Special Agent, a decision that crushed the careers of some of the most violent and dangerous criminals in history. The FBI recognized Ray’s talents quickly, allowing the Special Agent to explore what was then a new concept called criminal profiling and is now standard practice. Ray, who had a special interest in human behavior, honed his profiling skills and became one of the nation’s leading experts on the investigative technique. Little did he know this skill would help nail many infamous bank robbers. Carr also served the FBI as its primary coordinator for the Philadelphia Division, National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime, and the Philadelphia Hostage Negotiation Team. According to Supervisory Special Agent Joe Marjarowitz of Philadelphia, Carr was and continues to be one of the most respected FBI agents of his time among his fellow agents. “Ray performed the rare and critical role for the FBI of a case agent who worked throughout his career on complex criminal cases against the most violent and dangerous subjects the FBI encountered,” says Marjarowitz. Retired Supervisory Special Agent James R. Fitzgerald, best known for his role in helping to nab the Unabomber and was the inspiration behind Discovery Channel’s “Manhunt: Unabomber,” calls Ray “the consummate law enforcement professional during his 25 years with the FBI. He was an excellent investigator, having resolved numerous major criminal cases during his career. “He was also well known for his skill sets as a SWAT member, hostage negotiator, and profiling coordinator,” adds Fitzgerald. “Ray provided formal training in these three areas to fellow FBI agents, as well as to local and state police, and was highly respected by his peers in doing so. Now, in academia and working as a consultant, Ray maintains his well-established work ethic, imparting his collective knowledge to his students and all others who come into contact with him.” Post-FBI and throughout his law enforcement career, Ray excelled in academia, having lectured at Saint Joseph’s University, Villanova University, University of Pennsylvania, The College of Physicians of Philadelphia, Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, and Wilmington University. His reputation was so respected in the law-enforcement field he was appointed and continues to serve as director of The Criminal Justice Institute at Wilmington University. He holds a B.S. In Criminal Justice from Kutztown University, an M.S. in Administration of Justice from West Chester University; a B.S. and MBA in Accounting and Finance from Widener University; and an Ed.D. in Organizational Leadership from Wilmington University. Ray is passionate about sharing his expertise with students, but also with state and local police department via training and case consultations in behavior methodology. He specializes in unsolved homicides, terroristic threats, serial rapists, and serial murders.
