Founder of
Bochy's
For more than a decade, Carla Shellis has dedicated her life to helping people discover lasting freedom through the hope of Christ.
​
Inspired by her mother's legacy and guided by God's calling, Carla founded Bochy's in 2017 to create a place of safety and healing for women escaping exploitation. What began as one safe home has grown into a ministry serving women, at-risk youth, and men and women overcoming incarceration and exploitation through practical tools, trusted relationships, and lasting support.
Her Calling
Carla believes true transformation begins within.
Her passion is helping people renew their minds, discover their God-given identity, and experience the lasting freedom found in Christ. That conviction shapes every pathway, every partnership, and every person Bochy's serves.
Galatians 5:1
"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free."
Beyond Bochy's
The message of freedom extends beyond Bochy's.
Carla is also the creator of Freedom Formula®, a transformational framework that equips people to identify limiting beliefs, renew their thinking through biblical truth, and walk confidently in the freedom God intended.
​
Through speaking, coaching, writing, and teaching, she continues to encourage people around the world to exchange lies for truth and live with greater purpose, confidence, and freedom.
Family
Outside of ministry, Carla's greatest joy is her family.
She and her husband, Simon, are the proud parents of two adult children, Michael and Jade. Whether investing in her family, mentoring others, or serving the community, Carla remains committed to helping people discover hope, healing, and lasting freedom.
