Carla van Raay (born 1938)[1] is an Australian author, counselor and former nun, teacher and call girl.
Born in Tilburg, Netherlands, van Raay moved with her family to Australia in the 1950s.[2] Her father obtained work as a gardener at a convent school in Kew, Melbourne, run by the Sisters, Faithful Companions of Jesus, founded in early 19th-century France. Through this employment, he was able to have her enrolled as a student at the school. As a child she suffered sexual abuse from her father, from ages 3 to 12.[3]
After graduation she joined the Sisters who ran the school as a nun.[4] The order sent her the UK to train as a teacher. Once trained, she taught in Brussels. She felt isolated as a nun, and in 1969 she obtained permission from the Vatican to leave.[3]
After leaving the order, van Raay worked as a teacher in one of the biggest schools in Melbourne.[2] Van Raay was soon married to a Scotsman, and they had a daughter. She later had an affair with a 19 year old and the marriage ended. She had a second daughter with another partner.[3] Living in Perth,[3] and With a young family to support, van Raay turned to prostitution in 1973. Initially she worked as an escort, as she had been naive about sex during her education.[4] After 3 months,[3] Once she had gained some experience, she set up her own massage service.[4] Van Raay worked as a prostitute on and off for 18 years.[3] by which time she was 52 years old.[2]
Her memoir, God's Callgirl, documents her childhood and career as sex worker, ending with her decision to leave that occupation. She was 65 years old at the time of the book's publication and a grandmother. The book sold 500,000 copies[3] and has been published in 7 countries.[5]She later wrote a sequel documenting that part of her life titled Desire.[6] In 2016 she wrote Healing from Abuse: A Practical Spiritual Guide.[5]

You're welcome. It's sssssoooooooooooo rare to have an escort participate in this forum these days. I would have thought the Langtrees ladies would have been more supportive of this website given it's a marketing tool that costs a lot of money and they'd benefit.Thank you for sharing this @doob i will order a copy and add it to my collection. What an interesting colourful life she has had. I can’t wait to dig into this

There are a few of us who try to be active on here where and when we can. Maybe they’re just commenting or reading across a range of posts that you may not have come across? In saying that I’ve jumped into a heap of posts just today, and did not see one fellow Langtrees Lady in any of them
I’m not 100% sure. I should be more active here but I always forget! I do like to see what people are chatting about on all kinds of subjects, and then look into threads that catch my eye. I don’t really interact here to promote myself. I enjoy the aspect that this is still a social forum, where we can interact in this space over a wide range of topics

Oh I forgot to say that I have added this book recommendation to my Amazon Wishlist. I am going to order this, and Bella Green “Happy Endings”. Perhaps I should do a wee review on them once read and post to the forum?! It would be fab to do a review/feedback list on work done by fssws
