Hi! I’m Cara.

I’m a certified Integrative Trauma Coach, reiki II practitioner, professional aunt, and professional coach.

I have over 11 years experience guiding people through transformational, healing journeys.

I help women, especially mothers and women who want to be mothers, reconnect with themselves, heal their past, and live from love.

After becoming an Aunt 12x over, and living with sisters and friends while they parented, I witnessed the hardships (and sometimes horrors? 😅) of motherhood first hand.

I found out quickly that my experience overcoming my own personal struggles as a woman in recovery, plus my expertise in transformational coaching made me uniquely qualified to support moms and children in navigating the difficulties of the human experience - particularly in emotional regulation and cultivating joy in day-to-day life (no matter what is happening in life circumstantially.)

I believe empowering mothers is the key to a better society. If a mom can do her inner work, transform her shadows and heal her lineage, she passes down a legacy of power, love, and joy that will guide our next generation into a bright future.
