WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“It’s not often that you find someone in a professional position that aligns perfectly with their interests, skills, and passions. Cara is one of those people.”

“I really can’t say enough about the skill and talent of this woman in the area of coaching. She is highly trained in the art of listening and hearing what’s in the way of you having power, joy and success in your life. Cara’s coaching is compassionate, rigorous and non judgmental. I left each session feeling peaceful, lighter, and clear about the way forward. One example: I was planning to start an online business during Covid but feeling stuck and having doubts. After meeting with Cara, I felt confident and clear about the next steps to have it happen and now have a successful online program. I highly recommend working with Cara to empower yourself in any area of life. ”
“There ought to be another industry category for what Cara provides. I just wanted to find a coach to help pursue some dreams I have regretfully kept on the back burner of my life. But Cara is so much more. She is a clearing to explore whatever stands in between where I am and where I want to be in *all* areas of my life. Everything is related. I’ve discovered new openings in the realms of marriage, paperwork, fitness, parental care, business expansion AND pursuing my dreams. She can hear stumbling rocks in what I share that I didn’t know were even there; we dust them off together, only to find glimmers of gold just underneath.
Beyond her excellent active listening, Cara has a diverse range of training that brings a flexibility to her coaching. I always know whatever I’m dealing with, she’s going to leave me better for it. I could go on and on, but suffice to say that I’ve tried on a lot of coaches over the years and Cara is a whole new world.”
For me, Cara’s coaching has helped me most by helping me to figure out specifically where and how I’m blocked. She keeps guiding me through the inquiry until I am able to come to a place of new insight and, most importantly, a place of action.
I had a coaching session with Cara right after I had a fight with my husband. I was enraged. Through exceptional listening, quality questioning, and skill, she got me to a place where I was less committed to making my husband wrong and enrolled in the possibility of actual communication. Ultimately, I was able to go to my husband with generous listening and hear his perspective. This was the beginning of a shift in the whole way I was in communication with my husband, after 24 years of marriage. This was a true breakthrough. I realized after her coaching session, that part of my identity was wrapped up in needing to be right, and being “right” required me to make my husband bear all the responsibility. I was actually able to let go of my righteousness.
Cara has helped me improve communication in my marriage, and in my parenting. This has vastly improved the quality of my life, as well as the lives of my family members.

“Among Cara’s many superpowers the most noteworthy is undoubtedly her ability to listen. She listens to my complaints but seldom misses my greatness. She gives reasonable accommodations to my fears but rarely tolerates my bullshit. Talking to Cara often gives me the experience of being ok to experiment, to fail, and finding the space to expand. Truth be told, I think of her often and usually in the context of “what would Cara say…?”
Thanks Cara. You are the fuel to my rocket.”

“Cara Cares! Cara is more than a coach; she is a magician. Her powerful heartfelt counseling over the past couple years has been instrumental in my navigating some of the most tumultuous storms in my life. It’s clear Cara has extensive transformational coaching experience, and I appreciate her direct, compassionate, and empathetic style. She is dedicated, genuine, and professional. Each session is highly effective. She values her clients and loves what she does. My journey with Cara has been invaluable; my life is forever altered and I am forever grateful for her.”
“Cara is masterful at listening and creating a context and conversations that support individuals and groups discovering the best versions of themselves. When interacting with Cara I know I can count on her to be focused, present, and intentional. As my coach, she helped me transform my relationship to my life partner so that I now listen to him as an equal partner, rather than someone I tolerate or “drag along” in life. And she has provided coaching that has similarly supported transforming relationships with my closest family members. Through coaching, we have cultivated honesty and trust and partnership in exploring my self-discovery, and discovery inside the relationships in my life that matter most.”
“Who is this kid and what have you done with the rude, surly version of her? Her demeanor and manners have totally transformed. She’s engaging in polite conversation with a smile on her face—I never thought I’d see the day.”

"During her junior year our daughter was overwhelmed by the thought of what to do and how to make decisions about college. I was trying to get her to decide if she was going to continue playing her sport in college or not, so we could look into opportunities for recruitment, but only if that was what she wanted. She was really struggling to talk about it at all, I called Cara and set up a time for her and my daughter to talk. Within a few conversations Cara helped her realize the specific pressures she was experiencing and what she was afraid of that had her so stuck; she gained clarity and confidence, was able to talk about it with us and make some critical decisions about what she wanted that allowed her to be in action. She is now in her senior year, she has excelled in her sport this season, and she just accepted a full-ride scholarship at a highly regarded private college. We couldn’t be more pleased!”
