A life in motion, a story unfolding
Carly Newberg lives in Baker City, Oregon with her partner and two pet huskies. Although not a native, Carly considers Baker City the greatest place she’s ever called home.
In 2019, Carly graduated from Portland State University with a degree in Applied Health and Fitness, and Communications. After college, she spent two years working in physical therapy while writing and publishing her debut book, Good Enough: Believing Beautiful through Trauma, through Life, through Disorder.
For six years, Carly battled anorexia, bulimia, and exercise addiction, which inspired Good Enough and the endeavors following the publication of her book including:
Working with adolescents in a residential treatment facility.
Being interviewed by several podcasts.
Leading talks and workshops at a variety of schools throughout Oregon on eating disorders and mental health awareness.
Carly has freelance written for several online publications such as Business Insider, Yoga Journal, Medicinal Media, PopSugar, and more. In addition to these endeavors, she contributes to Medium, an online writing platform. Although multi-disciplined, Carly’s has a gift of capturing the connectedness between humans through writing to inspire and educate. Her use of personal narrative allows her to relate to others in a powerful way.
In 2021, Carly moved to Baker City permanently and soon after, launched Sincerely Carly. Then, in 2023, she ventured to the Amazon Jungle of Peru to complete her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training. Carly is now a Certified Yoga Teacher and offers both group classes and private sessions.
For Carly, instructing classes is a fun break from the independent work she does behind the computer; she loves encouraging intuitive movement and leading others toward more body awareness and acceptance. Once a long-distance runner only, Carly fell in love with the strength and healing to come from yoga during her eating disorder recovery.
When she isn’t on her yoga mat or curled up with a cup of coffee writing, you can find Carly out adventuring with her family and friends. She enjoys gardening, diving into a good book, going to concerts, hiking, and traveling.
