Karla Payne
The Actor’s Life Coach
About Me
For over 30 years, I’ve had the privilege of performing on multiple stages as well as in several films. As my career continues to flourish, I want to give back to up-and-coming actors and performers by sharing the knowledge I’ve gained in my years of experience. As a certified spiritual life coach, I also recognize the importance of having spiritual/mental/emotional balance and maintaining holistic wellness, both onstage and off. In 2023, I founded Innervizions Coaching and Wellness to be the vehicle to help actors meet those needs.
