Massage Therapy
Massage is for everyone.
I view massage therapy as a foundational tool for wellness that I highly encourage people to make as part of their monthly health routine, both for wellness maintenance and life-burnout prevention. Massage has a positive impact on our entire system starting from hydration of the skin, encouraging fresh oxygenated blood to circulate areas of stagnation, and bringing movement to your lymphatic system for overall health. In massage we are working with the soft tissues (aka muscles) and addressing adhesions (aka knots) of the muscle fibers. I implement deep tissue and trigger point therapy to help assist in the release of pain patterns along with facilitated and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) to produce positive effects on your range of motion and muscular function.
Massage is the antidote for a busy world.
One of the best outcomes you receive from massage is the permission to rest, receive, and rejuvenate. In a busy world, it is one of my greatest joys is to offer you space and time to slow down. Massage can have a profound impact on mental health and emotion wellbeing. I often have clients call me 2-3 days after the session to tell me the profound impact and clarity they had after our session.

Perinatal Massage
& Women’s Health
Cara is a Licensed Midwife, Certified Massage Therapist and long term prenatal and postpartum care provider, specializing in perinatal massage and working closely with people during their pregnancy and postpartum.
In our bodywork sessions, we address common physical discomforts including: round ligament pain, pubic symphysis pain, upper back and chest tightness, tingling in the forearms, hip/pelvis discomfort, and more. We work together in stages and the bodywork reflects what is safe and effective for your body in regards to how many weeks gestation your are.
Offering Well Person services, Cara provides a safe space for offering routine wellness visits that includes PAP smears and breast examination. I hold these visits with reverence and with a trauma informed approach. You will have the option to enter the speculum yourself, visualize your own cervix with a mirror, and be in a laid back cross legged position rather than a stirrup position.
