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 all kinds of women reconnect with themselves, heal their past, and live from love. I have a particular fondness, passion, and devotion to mothers or women preparing for Motherhood.

After getting sober and becoming an Aunt in 2014, Ifound 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 women and mothers raising 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 women to do their inner work is the key to a better society. If a woman 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.
