Cara graduated from the Massage Therapy program at the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy in 2011. The program has given her a vast knowledge of human anatomy as well as the intricacies of the physiology of the human body. In her 12 years of practice, she has had the opportunity to work with a variety of chronic and acute pain sufferers, including motor vehicle accidents, Orthopedic rehab and sports injuries. She is a Graston Technique certified technician and has done extensive courses in Fascial release, both of which can be incorporated into treatments to obtain maximum results. She is also trained in pre and postnatal care, and has a belly table which is available upon request. She has also provided care for palliative care patients and patients in cancer treatment. Although she tends to do a lot of deep tissue work, she understands the necessity of stress relief that goes along with light pressure relaxation treatments. She always encourages everyone to give her feedback to ensure they receive the optimum care needed for each individual. She is very client-centred, viewing each individual as unique and forms treatment plans based on assessments performed prior to each treatment. She is also a Registered Yoga Teacher with the Yoga Alliance. She has many years of practical experience teaching and working with a diverse body of students with different ailments and physical limitations. In combination with her Massage Therapy training, this has given her a very good understanding of human biomechanics and remedial exercise to help form a well rounded plan for treatment. Cara is also fluent in French and welcomes French speaking clients. On her own time, Cara is an avid runner and outdoor enthusiast. She loves kayaking/canoeing, camping, hiking and snowshoeing with her partner and two young children.
