The Mission

About Carly

Hi homebody! Carly here, the owner and founder of HOMEBODY, an in-home and virtual lifestyle boutique.

I was born and raised in Bloomington Indiana on 16 acres complete with an asparagus patch, flower and vegetable gardens and a wood burning stove stoking my love for local seasonal food, outdoor recreation and, honestly, bonfires.

I began dancing at the age of 2, my mom was my first dance teacher! We loved expressing ourselves through movement and cooking healthy, yummy, meals together. Additionally, I loved picking snacks straight from my dad’s garden and attending Indiana University athletic events with him, Go Hoosiers!

I fell in love with volleyball in fifth grade and continued playing year round through high school. I majored as a Fitness Specialist at Indiana University, minoring in Nutrition. I am STOTT Pilates mat-work trained and currently teach Personal Fitness and Wellness at Indiana University, a class I adored as an undergrad.

I have been a practicing personal trainer for 13 years specializing in functional strength training, Pilates and find inspiration in 13 years of modern dance. I also weave mobility, breath-work and mindfulness practices into each session.

With clients ranging in age from 18 to 78 years old, I work with all skill levels. Whether you are training to climb one of the highest peaks in the world, doing your first triathlon, want to feel good on your wedding day, build strength during and after a pregnancy or simply get up off the ground with ease, I can help you reach your goals.

Body-positivity and inclusion are at the forefront of my coaching, creating a safe space for all is paramount.  

In addition to movement coaching, I style interior spaces, both residential and commercial. I craft well being sanctuaries; beautiful spaces, and vignettes, for ritual; pulling inspiration from what you already have, and love, in your space. A feast for the senses. I believe our spaces should function for us so that we can move about our days with ease.

I am also a wardrobe stylist empowering you to embody your own personal style. Whether for an event, a photo shoot, or building a capsule wardrobe, functionality and sustainability are key components in my styling.

HOMEBODY is deeply informed by experience and creating for you, informed by yours, is what I do.

Come as you are, relax, and leave the rest to me. Move freely, rest easy.

xoxo, Carly

  • "Training with Carly has been a transformative experience, unlocking my hidden physical superpower! As I age, I’m continually amazed at how I keep getting in better physical shape, a testament to my weekly training sessions with Carly. With her guidance, I’ve achieved one of my biggest personal goals: climbing one of the world’s highest mountains! Having a regular training routine with Carly feels like a lifehack everyone should know about!"

  • "Carly has become so much more than a trainer for my husband and me. Now that we are parents to two boys under 5 she has helped us think through making our living space as functional as possible, and helped me physically, practically and mentally transition to my postpartum body. She has a knack for deaccessioning wardrobes with respect and efficiency and providing support for optimizing small spaces!"

    FEMALE, 41

  • “Just being near Carly makes you feel whole. She has a nurturing presence and knows what the people around her need most with a single glance. I have never known someone so well-versed in all things wellness. She has so many remedies up her sleeve like a holistic modern-day medicine woman. Over the years I’ve known Carly, she has taught me the importance of listening to my body and to be inspired by my mind, body, and soul—all priceless lessons."

  • “Welp, you seem to have cured my neck problems!!”

    FEMALE, 55

  • “It has been a joy to work out with Carly as my personal trainer for the past 10 plus years. Carly has just the right approach to make me work harder than I thought I could. I went to her originally to increase core and upper body strength. Not only did my strength improve but she also created workouts that improved my posture, stamina and balance."

  • “Carly has steered me through the postpartum stage of childbirth twice now and it’s difficult to express how grateful I am to her for that and how much I owe my sense of wellbeing to her.”

    FEMALE, 45

  • “WITHIN ONE HOUR, CARLY SINGLE-HANDEDLY CHANGED MY VIEWS ON WORKING OUT. To say that I was reluctant to initially come in and meet with a personal trainer would be an understatement. I was a former college football player and had spent years in the gym to get “big.” I had competed competitively in high school in weight lifting and thought that I knew everything I needed to know to get in shape. However, I also knew I needed some help with motivation. At the behest of my wife, I begrudgingly agreed to try a single session with Carly. When I walked into the studio and saw no machines and very few weights I thought “this will not work for me.”

  • “Carly is a wonderful teacher. She trains with gentle firmness. I began as a complete novice. Now after a decade, I am stronger and healthier thanks to her caring attention. I have lost weight and have become much more physically confident. Our newest adventure together is virtual training. I was a skeptic but it has worked beautifully. Our work together has carried forward into choices I make everyday.”

    FEMALE, 77

  • “I started looking for a trainer when I realized that I was uncomfortable in my own skin. I had been an athlete and knew how to be in a gym and train but I did not have the motivation of competition and a team to get back into shape. I WENT IN FOR AN INITIAL CONSULTATION WITH MY HUSBAND AND TWO YEARS LATER, WE HAVE BOTH HAD TREMENDOUS SUCCESS WITH NOT ONLY OUR WEIGHT LOSS AND FITNESS GOALS, BUT WE HAVE TRANSITIONED TO A MUCH HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE. She challenges us to keep improving our strength, flexibility, stamina and nutrition both in the studio and at home. Carly has been incredibly encouraging, supportive, positive and is as invested in my success as I am. She is one of the most motivated, talented, caring, and genuine people I have ever had the pleasure to be around. I know without a doubt that I would not have had the same success without her.”
