Today we’d like to introduce you to Carly Tway.
Carly, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I was always very interested in the wonders of the Universe, at a very young age, I dabbled in lucid dreaming, manifestation, and natural medicine without being aware of what I was actually doing. I started watching the TV show LOST with my dad, Bob Tway, in 2004 and I truly think it helped guide my life toward a more focused interest into physics, manifestation, and energy in general.
Then in 2006, my dad gave me the book, The Secret, and that thing became my bible. I feel like I became a master manifestor after reading that… manifesting good grades, lead parts in dance numbers, and even a boyfriend (haha). Then in early 2010, I met a beautiful Native American woman in Arizona, & she kindly enlightened me on the magic healing powers of crystals. Thus the journey back to Spirit really begun.
After years of working with these gifts from Mother Earth on a personal level, I decided to combine my love for crystals, alternative healing, & expression through creative design to make wearable ENERGY & ART for others. My jewelry line, Merkababe Designs. All pieces are handpicked, wrapped or electro-formed, cleansed, and charged by me with the truest, most pure intention! ॐ
Alongside my crystal jewelry company, I was also extremely invested in all things metaphysical, so I became a student of the Universe. I dedicated my life to raising the planet’s vibration one person at a time.
I attend the Resonance Academy, A Unified Physics School by Physicist Nassim Haramein, Herbal Academy International School Of Herbal Arts and Sciences for Herbalism, and have graduated from Bali International Spa Academy for Crystal Healing and Massage, Light Spirit Bali College for Sound Therapy, Multidimensional School of Healing Arts and Sciences for Holistic Health, Reiki Academy of Los Angeles for Energy Healing, House of Intuition for Energy Healing, Reiki and many other Teachings, University of Central Oklahoma, and Los Angeles Valley College for Philosophy.
As well as trained under a Master 5D Ascension Coach and a Shaman to learn many different healing modalities, all to be a well rounded Holistic Health Practitioner for my clients. I believe my life’s purpose is to share all the tools and techniques that have helped me in my own healing and awakening process. Whether it be through crystal jewelry, healing arts, sound therapy, or one on one sessions… This is my baby… Merkababe Designs… and Healing.
MerKaBabe Designs derived from, MerKaBa, the pattern in which all things & all universes have been created. Mer meaning Mind, Ka meaning Spirit, & Ba meaning Body. Wearable ART for awakened souls, designed & handmade, Healing Sessions, and Crystal Shop! ॐ
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Looking back, this road has been an absolute roller coaster. Extremely high highs, and really low lows, but thats Showbiz baby (haha) It is very tough to start a business in general, and it also hard to start one that is centered around Soul Awakening, because it really pushes you to look deeper within your own soul’s journey.
In my opinion, you cannot be the clearest channel for your clients, or express yourself fully through your art, without having addressed the dark parts of your own soul. I had to dive deep within my own traumas, process them, and release them before I felt comfortable enough to take on clients of my own.
Of course, the healing journey is a never-ending one, but after doing the work with my inner child, major traumas, etc. etc., I now feel like I have the tools to help others get through their hard times and deeply rooted issues so they can become aligned with their soul’s truest potential!
Whether it be through Spiritual Advising, Healing sessions, Vibrational Alignment, or healing crystal jewelry, I want to help people see who they truly are… magical, powerful beings of light that deserve to have the life they’ve always imagined!
Please tell us about Merkababe Designs.
I think what sets me apart from other businesses is the fact that everything is so personalized. The jewelry is created through creative channeling, made specifically for the person it’s meant for, even if I don’t know who that person is yet and the healing sessions are guided by your own soul’s energy and differ based off each person’s goals!
I have strived to make Merkababe Designs your best friend in all things Spiritual!

Do you look back particularly fondly on any memories from childhood?
My favorite childhood memory is watching LOST with my dad every Wednesday night as a 4th grader. That show really sparked an interest for the idea of destiny, following your intuition and the importance of your true intentions for your actions.
