  • About Me

    My Journey

    I’ve been a caregiver most of my life — as a nurse, a mother, and a wife. For many years, I poured everything into caring for others, not realizing I was losing connection with myself.

    When I hit a point of deep struggle, I started to explore why. That’s when I discovered I’m a highly sensitive person and an empath — someone who feels the emotions and pain of others very deeply. This helped me understand why caregiving felt both meaningful and overwhelming.

    I became curious about healing in a new way. I began studying holistic and integrative practices like acupuncture, EMDR, and energy medicine.

    Over the last 20 years, I’ve learned to see each person not just as a body, but as a whole energy system — mind, body, heart and spirit.

    Through this work, I learned to listen to my own spirit for guidance — and discovered I could also connect with the deeper, spiritual part of others. This connection helps me guide people to better understand who they are, what’s holding them back, and how they can move forward.

    Because real change takes courage and support, I became certified as a nurse coach — so I can walk beside my clients as they grow, heal, and transform.

    How My Journey Inspires My Practice

    Life has been my greatest teacher:
    • Navigating the end of a marriage
    • Family Addiction
    • Raising highly sensitive children
    • Caring for ill parents
    • Grieving many types of loss

    As an oncology nurse for many years, I’ve also supported countless people and families through serious illness and end-of-life care.

    Each of these experiences has shaped who I am — and helped me learn how to care for myself through every season of life.

    True healing begins with courage, compassion, and support.

    Learning to Live From The Inside Out

    Most of us go through life looking outside of ourselves for guidance and reassurance as to how we are living life. The stressors of life build over time, and we become confused and frustrated with life. By learning to live from the inside out, we learn to use our unique energy system as our guide for living. Our inner wisdom is our true guide. This can be challenging to grasp initially and requires some rewiring of our minds to fully understand.

    A Holistic Approach to Whole-Person Healing

    Over time, I began to see that we’re more than just our bodies — we’re made up of a mind, body, heart, and spirit. All four parts are connected and influence how we feel and function every day.
    As I worked through my own struggles, I noticed my thoughts were often harsh and unhelpful. My body would react in ways I didn’t understand, and I kept repeating emotional patterns that left me feeling stuck.
    As I explored different holistic practices, I connected with a deeper part of myself — a quiet, inner wisdom that felt steady and true. I came to understand this as my spirit. When I started listening to that part of me, things began to shift.
    What I’ve learned is this: we all have the ability to tune into ourselves and find clarity, calm, and direction. But most of us are looking outside for answers, when the real guidance is already within us.
    This is the heart of my work — helping others reconnect with all parts of themselves to find healing, balance, and peace.

    Is Healing Possible?

    Yes. Healing can happen in many ways. My mission is to help people learn how to love, trust, and accept themselves — especially during life’s hardest moments.
    When I was overwhelmed by stress and kept trying to manage it all on my own, I discovered something important: every time I tried a new holistic practice or worked with a healer, I uncovered a deeper truth about myself. I realized I could accept what I couldn’t control — and still care for myself through it.
    What hurt me most was believing I had to do it alone. Healing takes courage, but it doesn’t have to be lonely. We’re meant to walk this path with support.

  • Testimonials

    "My favorite part of working with Cari is that she puts her finger directly on the issue. She explains it to me in a rich and visual way, which allows me to see and understand my own heart and mind from the inside out. Cari has a gift for seeing clearly the places where people are stuck. She guided me through those places in a gentle and safe way – and she was mindful about how I can handle change."

    - Ann L. ,Illinois

    "During my first session with Cari, I know my life completely shifted. Places where I was stuck became unstuck and I suddenly had the confidence to face the things that were holding me back. In the year that we have been working together, my life has completely changed – I have an inner peace, a lack of anxiety and a trust that the universe will give me what I need. My favorite part of working with Cari is that she has witnessed my change and she always sits without judgement. I think you have to be open to change from this work because you are forever changed by it."
    - Hilary S. ,Massachusetts
    "I was skeptical of Cari’s work. I couldn’t understand how she could know what she knows and make me feel better. I was open, though, and after the first time, it was so clear that it worked – it was amazing. I am still shocked by how she does this and how much better I feel after she does. I feel lighter, happier and better after you do a session. She works with me remotely so I don’t always know when she is going to do the work until I start feeling better – and then I open my email and I know why. Cari helps me ferret out the issues that my conscious mind doesn’t go to."
    - Jason M. , Massachusetts
    " I have worked with Cari for over five years and she has been instrumental in helping me weather many storms and in finding my true life’s purpose. Whether I was experiencing emotional or physical pain or just a loss of hope, my work with her has been like nothing else I have experienced. I always feel like Cari facilitates the release of something that is blocked inside of me that was contributing to my struggles. Consequently, I can see and feel things differently. Even in my worst moments, she was able to bring me relief and help me find answers when I thought there were none. I have recommended lots of people to work with her, and they have also experienced relief and clarity. "
    - Lisa A. , Massachusetts
    I find Cari’s energy gorgeous. When she creates a sacred space, it feels like being held in an embrace. Her ability to perceive and access truth, to see and hold the larger perspective, and to facilitate others in love—true, unconditional acceptance and wholeness and love—is a profoundly healing experience and truly rare. As are her great kindness, care, and integrity. If you are looking to open to the Universal source of your being, Cari can help. If you are looking to feel more support, inner clarity, and grace amidst life’s tremendous challenges, to feel more self-love and self-acceptance as you move through this human lifetime, Cari can help there too.
