Someone you trust sent you here. 

Door Number Three is a safe, human way to shift patterns that haven't changed through therapy, coaching, or insight alone.

Practitioner

Carmen Straight

For business owners, artists, immigrants, and people who have tried many paths forward — and who are no longer seeking another coping strategy, but a deeper reorganization of how they relate to themselves and their lives.

Carmen has been in that place herself. At sixteen, she had made a vow to find what was true beneath the surface of human experience. That search led her through esoteric study, meditation caves in Tibet, and deep cultural immersions across nineteen countries. Alongside that journey, she spent more than thirty years working in complimentary health care, palliative and hospice care, sitting with individuals and families at the threshold of profound life transitions.

She nearly stopped searching altogether. Then she found this work — the first thing that shifted the structure beneath what she had spent years trying to change.

That combination — a lifetime of seeking and years spent alongside people at the edge of life — shaped how she sees what sits underneath a problem. Today, Carmen works with business owners, artists, immigrants, and people who are searching for significant inner work and are ready for an approach that reaches the deeper truth of what is holding their lives and businesses in place.

No contracts. No pressure to continue. You decide what happens after each session.

About Carmen

A seasoned practitioner working with people through transition, uncertainty, and reinvention — with a focus on the underlying structures that quietly shape our lives and human experience.

Carmen left home at fifteen. By sixteen, she had made a vow to find what was true — not as an idea, but as a way of living. That path took her through esoteric teachings, retreats and meditation caves in Tibet, and lived immersion in nineteen countries.
Her professional life evolved in parallel and doesn’t fit neatly into a single category. She has built or consulted on more than eighty ventures — from early-stage concepts to infrastructure like water filtration systems and World Peace Cultural Exhibitions. She founded a Canadian nonprofit; ran an integrative clinic with physicians, naturopaths, and complementary practitioners; worked extensively in business organizational restructuring, often entering these systems at the point where conventional approaches had already failed.
For more than thirty years, she worked in health care, palliative and hospice care, sitting with people and families at the threshold of death. That experience made something unmistakably clear: the same patterns repeat across cultures, industries, and life stages, and most approaches engage only the surface layer of those patterns rather than what is driving them underneath.
Over time, she came to understand this not only professionally, but personally. After decades of sincere effort across multiple modalities, she saw how often change remained partial. She nearly stopped searching. Then she encountered an approach that reached the level she had been looking for all along — something that finally addressed the deeper architecture beneath the pattern. 

What people say about working with Carmen

"Carmen linked my financial situation with a childhood experience, and then created an integration of my desires with my past self — all of this went far beyond insight into embodied transformation. I woke up the next day feeling lighter about money than I had in months. In the two days after our session I brought in four new clients for an upcoming workshop."

– Violet

"You hold the space in such a graceful way that I am able to completely allow transformation."

– Shai

"Carmen helped me discover the dynamics at play in my business that I couldn't see. I was able to finally make clear decisions moving forward out of what had felt stuck for a long time."

– R.S.

You may want to work with Carmen if you:

    Can clearly see what needs to change, but find something deeper resists movement

    Have invested deeply in your personal or professional development, and are ready for change that actually holds

    Run a business and keep encountering the same ceiling, even as strategies and approaches evolve

    Are an artist or creative whose blocks persist regardless of insight, effort, or discipline

    Are an immigrant, or the child of immigrants, and sense patterns in your life that extend beyond your individual history

    Have moved through significant disruption — across countries, careers, or relationships — and are seeking greater internal coherence

You do not need to know exactly what to work on. You only need to know that something keeps repeating, and you are ready to meet it differently.

In her own words

"Meaningful change rarely comes from surface solutions."

"Creatives live in non-linear worlds. But they can often find themselves stuck in a loop."

"It takes a lot of courage to reach out and ask for support."
