Born and raised in Oakland, Cara grew up writing, dancing, acting, and playing music. While a passion for helping others brought Cara to McKinnon in 2016, ultimately practicing massage gave her the tools she needed to show up for her own healing journey. Working with the modalities of Shiatsu, Acupressure, and Lymphatic Drainage, Cara is passionate about the ways bodywork can connect and liberate us. Cara’s work is informed by the practices of Katonah yoga, meditation, and qigong, as well as a deep connection to nature. In practice and in teaching, her aim is to create a container to facilitate growth by supporting her students and clients in finding their own innate creativity, wisdom, and healing abilities.
