I was a sceptic but am now a believer. Carla at Transform Wellness has done several reiki sessions with me and it gets better, more interesting and more curious each time, even when I believed myself to be quite self aware. What stands out is the time and care she takes with every client, as if they are the most important thing she could be doing. She also is a continuous learner, taking new classes and reading up to deepen her learning. Carla is extremely intuitive and the fullest expression of love and care that one would want in a healer. I strongly recommend that you visit Transform Wellness, especially if you are a sceptic like I was. An added bonus is the other offerings at Transform Wellness, like facials and private yoga/ personal training. Carla knows her stuff, you will not regret meeting her.
About Me
My name is Carla Dempsey. I am a military spouse and I have 3 beautiful daughters. Since meeting my husband in 2004 we have moved 11 times, including two overseas, which has been quite an adventure. We are looking forward to finally settling down here in Dayton, Maryland.
I have been an Esthetician since 2002. I discovered Reiki while checking out a competitor’s spa in 2005 and shortly after became a level 3 certified Reiki Master Healer. I then found my love of fitness training in 2008 and have been an ISSA certified trainer for 16 years. Continuing on my wellness journey I became a certified life coach with a specialty in mindset training. Most recently, in 2023, I completed a 200 hour trauma informed Yoga Teacher Training, which has been a dream of mine for 15 years. I love helping my clients who are feeling “stuck” or generally unhappy find a happier, healthier way of life.

Just simply being in Carla’s presence feels like a gift to me. She has an energy that is instantly relaxing. She exudes light, joy, and positivity. I had the most incredible 90 minute facial that left my face looking bright, soft and glowy. Once again, she has exceeded my expectations so much, I’ve already booked myself a little Mother’s Day facial. To know Carla, is to love her!
Carla is like a magician the way she throws all of her skills together to make a sort of “secret sauce.” It’s really beautiful how she mixes everything together as a healer, an esthetician and a teacher. I’ve tried all of her services and I can’t ever decide which one I like the most.
I’ve been training with Carla for almost 18 months, and my experience with her has been excellent. My overall core strength has increased, which I have noticed in everyday activities like lifting heavy household items or doing weekend yard work. My stamina and endurance has significantly improved. I could tell this summer in activities like hiking, kayaking, and even water skiing. Carla is knowledgeable, thoughtful and attentive in planning my training sessions. Carla is constantly upbeat, positive, and at the same time, she is able to effectively challenge me to push me out of my comfort zone. I would highly recommend Carla to anyone looking for a truly personalized experience in their training.
I highly recommend Transform Wellness Center for teen facials. Carla is amazing and is able to specialize in gentle and effective treatments tailored to teenagers’ unique skincare needs.
The Spa’s serene atmosphere and personalized care ensure a rejuvenating experience for you and your family. We are frequent clients.
Me and my daughter had facials at Transform Wellness Center with Carla. Each and every time it exceeded my expectations. The ambiance is soothing, the music calming and service very professional. Carla is very accommodating and her hands and fingertips feel like a soft pillow. She knows what the skin needs and makes you feel worry free. The best part is that you can buy the products you like from her at the end of the service. This is definitely my best self-care practice.
Carla gave me a 90-minute over-the-top facial that went above and beyond what I ever expected. It was the best and most relaxing facial I’ve ever had! The ambiance of her waiting area and treatment room were beautifully decorated and calming. You won’t be disappointed! Needless to say, I am going to make getting a facial from Carla a monthly thing.
Let me start by saying that I can’t say enough great things about Carla at Transform Wellness. I had been paying for a gym membership at a local gym and was maybe going a few times a month because I couldn’t get motivated. But since I have been working with Carla, I work out 4-5 times a week. She has a unique way of keeping me motivated by continually coming up with new and interesting workouts. She’s a great listener which helps her really focus on the individual needs and wants and that shows by her custom workouts. Oh and do yourself a favor and get a facial, it is the best I ever had and I’m a cosmetologist and have had a lot of facials by very talented aesthetician’s and Carla’s are the best hands down. So like I said at the beginning I have nothing but great things to say about Transform Wellness Center.
I can’t say enough how much I love going to Transform Wellness Center. The reiki/facial room is located in a private area of the residence. Walking down the separate entrance & into the reception area, I instantly feel relaxed. Carla has done an amazing job making her clients feel welcomed with her beautiful and serenely decorated studio. I have done the microdermabrasion, facial and reiki multiple times through Transform Wellness. The services have been especially helpful in releasing my stress through the pandemic and my recovery from meniscus surgery. I swear by her treatments, from how smooth my skin feels to the instant relaxation that overcomes me as soon as she begins the reiki.
I have seen Carla several times now, and every time I leave better than I came. Her facials are amazing. My skin looks so fresh and luminous after. I have also received Reiki and waxing services. Overall, she is professional and the studio is clean.
