As a child, Carla van Raay experienced a trauma that changed her forever. Burdened by the weight of this terrible secret, all she wanted to do was survive. Life as a nun promised refuge from the outside world. Carla hoped to find love and understanding within the convent walls. Instead she became enmeshed in a complex system of regulations that drove her to the brink of madness. Finally released from her vows, she escaped back into the 'real' world. A hasty marriage and separation left Carla with a daughter to support. With few professional skills to rely on from her years as a nun, she turned to another age-old profession - prostitution. She worked as an escort to learn the ropes, then struck out on her own, setting up a massage service. God's Callgirl was born. When eventually the seamier side of the business began to assert itself, Carla embarked on a journey to uncover the dark secret of her past.

Healing from Abuse

A Practical Spiritual Guide

By: Carla van Raay

Healing from Abuse: A Practical Spiritual Guide is a balm for the soul. The path of healing is awesome, yet the author, who has advanced along that very same journey herself, maintains that everyone who takes it up is somehow given the power and support to make a success out of it. This book is presented as a part of that support and that empowerment. In its pages the reader is introduced and gradually made familiar with the Spirit of their inner being, the reality so easily ignored and yet so powerful once engaged. The Spirit Within is not confined to any religion - it is within all of us, whether we know it or not, and nothing we can do or experience can get rid of it. To heal means taking back the power to love and to received love, that great purpose worth living for. It is this love that will restore self-worth and self-esteem from the ground up and from the inside out.

Gods callgirl

By: Carla van Raay

Als achttienjarige gaat ze het klooster in, op haar vierendertigste begint ze aan een carrière als prostituee. Gods callgirl is een verpletterend eerlijk verslag van een verbijsterend leven. Carla is een bijzondere vrouw die vele levens geleefd heeft. Ze groeit op in het katholieke zuiden van Nederland en is een vrolijk en avontuurlijk kind. Totdat traumatische ervaringen haar voor altijd veranderen. Wankelend onder het gewicht van dit vreselijke geheim, gaat ze als achttienjarige het klooster in om haar leven te wijden aan God. Carla hoopt liefde en begrip te vinden binnen de kloostermuren, maar ze raakt verstrikt in een ingewikkeld systeem van regels en beperkingen die haar tot wanhoop leiden. Uiteindelijk legt ze haar habijt af en ontsnapt naar de 'echte' wereld. Een ondoordacht snel huwelijk en een scheiding later staat ze er met haar dochtertje alleen voor en op vierendertig jarige leeftijd belandt ze in een ander eeuwenoud beroep, dat van prostituee. Ze werkt bij een escortservice en leert het klappen van de zweep, waarna ze voor zichzelf begint en een trouwe klantenkring opbouwt. Wanneer de schaduwzijden van de business hun tol beginnen op te eisen, gaat Carla op zoek naar zelfacceptatie en begint ze aan haar moeilijkste werk, het blootleggen van de donkere geheimen uit haar jeugd.
