Welcome to Mahogany Soul Care, LLC

Mahogany Soul Care, LLC helps individuals and communities tend to the grief that life leaves behind so they can heal what hurts, honor what has been lost, and move forward with God in wholeness.

  • You don’t have to pretend the loss didn’t happen.

  • You don’t have to minimize what happened.

  • You don’t have to rush yourself toward “getting over it.”

There is space to tell the truth about what was lost - and take meaningful action toward recovery.

Hi! I’m Carrie. So glad you’re here!

What is Grief Recovery?

It is not psychotherapy.

It is not counseling.

It is not a support group in the traditional sense.

It is not spiritual direction.

It is not Christian life coaching.

It is not a Bible study.

It is not a spiritual formation method.

It isn’t about forgetting.

It isn’t about pretending the loss no longer matters.

It isn’t about erasing your memories.

Loss doesn’t only take people from us.

You are not broken.

And therefore, don’t need to be fixed.

The Grief Recovery Method® provides an action-based process for identifying and addressing the unfinished emotional business connected to loss. Grief is the normal and natural response to loss - but many of us were never taught what to do with the emotional pain that loss leaves behind.

But There's More...

Spiritual Direction & Christian Life Coaching

As a trained spiritual director and life coach serving Black Christian women, I specialize in:

  • Faith-based burnout recovery

  • Emotional integration within Christian spirituality

  • Healing from performance-based faith

  • Sustainable service without self-erasure

Traditional church spaces often reward resilience without rest.

Life coaching often prioritizes goals over grief.

Therapy may not always center faith.

Soulcare integrates all three — without spiritual bypassing.

Black women disproportionately carry emotional labor, hypervigilance shaped by racialized experience, and spiritual expectations rooted in the “Strong Black Woman” narrative.

Many of us were discipled into performance.

Be strong.
Be grateful.
Be faithful.

But holiness is not exhaustion.

My calling is to create spiritually safe space for Black Christian women to rest, wrestle, and reconnect with God honestly.

Why Black Christian Women?

Mahogany’s Layered Approach

Grief Education

We believe it is important to help people recognize what grief is and identify losses they may be carrying. Grief education is available through workshops for individuals, communities, churches, Women-In-Transition programs and funeral homes. Check out available workshops here.

Recovery is Available

As an Advanced Grief Recovery Specialist®, I am delighted to walk with grievers through the Grief Recovery Method® - it’s a structured, action-based and non-clinical program that is not only educational but applicable to many losses beyond the death of a loved one.

Care for Her Soul

Through Spiritual Direction and/or Christian life coaching by way of the M.Y.S.O.U.L framework, I offer faith-centered support primarily for my Black Christian Sistahs. Through workshops, groups and individual sessions, she can properly attend to her spiritual life, moving away from unhealthy ideologies of strength, performative religion, unresolved racial trauma (non-clinical practices) and more. Women seeking spiritual direction or life coaching do not have to complete grief care first in order to receive this level of care - however, it is highly encouraged.

Her time is now!

What People Are Saying…

  • Strong Anointing for Yoke Destroying!

    Carrie has a strong anointing for yoke destroying!! Hers is not popular with pew warmers or aisle prancers! God uses her to say the sobering, hard things that the church needs to hear as litmus to our souls. I see the call for her to walk the path of ridicule and shame…sacrifice and surrender, so God can use her to be as broken bread and poured out wine, just as our Lord Jesus offered His body! - Bianca M.

  • Gift to See People!

    Dr. Carrie is phenomenal. Her gift to see people is heaven sent. Her words to me in a brief conversation, changed how I saw myself and set me on a path to a better me, the best me and the pursuit to become the woman God created me to be. Thank you ☺️ - Crystal E.

  • Her Peacefulness and Passion for Others

    When I first met Carrie, I knew she was someone special.  I could feel her peacefulness in the first few moments of conversation and knew she was filled with the Holy Spirit.  Not long after learning she and her husband were ministers, Carrie was asked to lead a Women’s Bible Study in our community. I was thrilled!  Carrie has a loving, caring soul and she is incredibly knowledgeable theologically.  She has a passion for helping others, especially women, and is an amazing teacher.  We have learned so much from Carrie and feel blessed that God brought her to the women of our community.— Sara H.

  • Transformative Approach!

    I’m grateful for the transformative approach Carrie takes to liberate women from stifling schema rooted in history. Through education, conversation, spiritual direction, and coaching, she provides tools for resistance, resilience, and flourishing as our authentic selves.— Lynn J.
