Synopsis:
Born and raised in Haiti to a family of healers, US trained physician Carolle Jean-Murat came to be regarded as a world-class surgeon. But her success harbored a secret: in the operating room, she could quickly intuit the root cause of her patient’s illness, often times knowing she could help the patient without surgery. Dr. Jean-Murat knew that to fellow surgeons, her intuition was best left unmentioned. But when the devastating earthquake hit Haiti and Carolle returned to help, she had to acknowledge the shaman she had become.
This mesmerizing story takes us inside the secret world of voodoo as a healing practice, and sheds light on why it remains a mystery to most and shunned by many.
Review: All you have to do is to read the section below to realize HOW amazing Carolle is! She gives new meaning to going above and beyond, intellectually and spiritually! When you read the book, you will feel like she is having a conversation WITH you, sharing her journey! Voodoo is part of the underculture of New Orleans, and through reading books about the area, I've learned alot about it, but Carolle brings us the FAMILY side of it.
Her childhood in Haiti was anything but serene- full of highs and lows, of fear and strength, for instance she made Haiti's Olympic volleyball team in 1968, yet could not attend the games, as she was afraid of showing her birth certificate, that showed her last name to be that of a Voodoo priestess. Even finishing college was a wave of struggles and hope obtained.
When she achieved her dream and became a doctor, she quickly realized that it was not truly what she was meant to do. She found herself using methods that her grandmother had used as a midwife, and having great success with them. Her personal life suffered, and she felt the happiest when she was able to bring happiness to others. By taking a different path as a healer, she found her true calling. By solving the inner self problems, she is able to health the body of her patients. Check out this speech of hers, then come back for the rest of the review:
Carolle was in NOLA on the 3rd Anniversary of Katrina, and I wish I had been able to attend her session on stress relief! I truly believe Carolle is one of those wonderful people that when you meet them, you know your life will change-be it by their touch, their words, or just by being in their presence. You will truly feel this when you finish reading this book! Read it and you will see, and realize that if Carolle can find her true calling, so can the rest of us!
About the Author:
Dr. Carolle was born and raised in Haiti to a family of healers, herbalists, midwives and shamans, and was educated in Haiti and the best universities in Mexico, Jamaica, and the US.
After completing her postgraduate training in obstetrics and gynecology in Wisconsin she settled in San Diego in 1982. She soon was regarded as one of the best ob-gyn around—tall and regal, a lone black female among the elite. But her success harbored a secret: when a patient entered her office, Dr. Carolle could quickly and intuitively see the root cause of her patient’s illness, often times knowing she could help the patient without having to put her under the knife. She knew she dared not make these claims aloud. Struggling to fit in with the Western medical paradigm, her intuition and vision were best left unmentioned until she had no choice than to quit.
In 2005, she built the Dr. Carolle’s Wellness and Retreat Center of San Diego, the only place in the world where you can get UNSTUCK by spending as much time as you want – a few hours, one day, or a weekend with her. She helps those who want to quickly discover the root causes of their dis-ease, which usually are hidden emotions. She provides guidance on how to bring them to consciousness, and how to effectively deal with them.
Dr. Carolle has worked extensively with female veterans who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to sexual trauma during their military experience – MST, to include in-depth assessments, providing specialized alternative treatments, and testifying on their behalf at the Department of Veterans Affairs. In July 2012, she joined forces with Tara Wise, the founder of the National Military Women Veterans Association to help bring MST – military sexual trauma to the forefront.
Dr. Carolle continues to provide free intuitive gynecological care to the people of Haiti and underserved women through Catholic Charities and St. Vincent de Paul Village with Father Joe Carroll, and Native-American Health programs. In 1993, Dr. Carolle founded the non-profit organization, Health Through Communications Foundationand its Angels For Haiti Project to provide the underserved with education, health-care, and hope for the future.

As an international motivational speaker, Dr. Carolle brings her message of self-empowerment to women through her award-winning books, CDs, DVDs, live workshops and training programs, radio, media appearances and virtual events.
