About

Why Matsu Love exists:

Creating Heaven on Earth.

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 mothers-to-be, 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.

  • 11+ years of continuous sobriety, working a recovery program and sponsoring other women to recover.

  • 11 years experience as a holistic cook, including 3 years as a professional cook and 1 year studying nutritional therapy.

  • 8 years experience as a coach and program facilitator in transformational courses, personal and professional development programs, and corporate consulting.
