About Me

Cara is a Trauma-Informed Somatic Breathwork Facilitator,

Certified Spiritual Life Coach, Energy Healer, and New Earth Leader.

I have lived the hustle and bustle of Corporate America and know all too well how dysregulated the nervous system can become when you are working long days, juggling work and home life, focused on pleasing everyone while putting your needs on the back burner. You get so good at going through the motions that before long you realize you are operating on autopilot.

I remember the moment I realized this was how I was living. At the time, I was juggling being a working mom and managing teams at work. I was managing it all but at a cost. I was exhausted and I felt drained. I would go to bed every night and wake up to do the same thing over and over again.

I suddenly realized I had been so focused on the needs of everyone else, doing the job of two people at work, clocking long hours to support my team across the U.S., running the kids to practices, activities, games and ignoring what I needed, which was to prioritize my health and well-being, and have time do something for me like get a massage, have dinner with friends, or take a quiet walk in the park.

I realized that I had built the life I was taught to want. I was taught to work hard and provide for my family. I threw myself into my job and when things were stressful at home I worked even harder. I climbed the corporate ladder, made strategic moves to be closer to home and still grow my income. We had the house, the cars, and the perfect family of four. I was trying to be all things to everyone around me and I started to lose sight of what I really wanted in trying to please everyone else. What I really wanted was time to just be myself, experience peace, and slow down enough to be present and enjoy what we had built. 

I was just so afraid to lose everything that I kept pushing, performing, pleasing others, and trying to prove I could do it all. But this time was different, because I was now listening to that voice inside that was telling me to slow down because I was getting burned out and this was not sustainable. 

For years, I had been learning about professional and personal development to be a stronger leader at work but I started seeking knowledge about how I could manage stress, overwhelm, and find my true purpose because even though I had everything I wanted, I still felt something was missing.  

I finally figured it out when I started a Spiritual Life Coaching certification program and began to notice my own patterns and how I had been trying to be perfect at everything which was draining my energy. I had equated my worth to performance and realized I had always pushed myself to try to be perfect. 

On the outside I looked like I had it all together but inside my body was throwing one illness after another at me forcing me to slow down. First it was COVID, then the flu, then mono even resurfaced! 

I finally started to listen to my body and gained tools I needed to regulate my nervous system and shift my mindset to see every opportunity as a chance to learn and grow. 

My perspective shifted so I was no longer seeing life as something that was happening around me or to me, instead, it was happening for me so I could finally see what I was meant to do. And I thought, how many other working women are out there abandoning their own needs, people pleasing to keep the peace, and tying their worth to performance?

That’s when I created Cara Kuhn Healing, LLC! A space where women can rediscover their truth beneath what they were taught to want. Where women can stop shrinking to appease others. Where women can reclaim their power within so they can show up even stronger for themself and those they care for. 

My mission is to provide a space where women can rediscover their truth and come home to themselves. My goal is to create ripples across the world because as we heal, others heal.
