Queen of Cups
Supporting you through the seasons of Motherhood.
The Queen of Cups is a timeless archetype symbolizing intuitive wisdom, cultivated compassion, and attunement- a guide for the feminine heart.
I’m Cara, founder of Queen of Cups.
I chose this name because it reflects what I offer: presence, nourishment, and a devotion to Mother as the compass of my life and work. My foundation is a deep remembrance of how we are meant to care for one another- through touch, reflection, and tending the unseen threads that hold us.
Through nourishing hands-on care, education and preparation I support you through the evolutionary experience of becoming that is Motherhood.
As a certified INNATE Traditions Postpartum Care Provider, I offer in-home care rooted in traditional healing practices, adapted for modern motherhood. I help you learn the language of your body, ground into your physical experience, and connect with the energies, elements, and lineage that shape you.
Much of my foundation was formed over a decade of life in Big Sur working at the Esalen Institute- immersed in healing arts, land-based rituals, and community living. I am certified in Esalen Massage, and trained in modalities that support self-awareness, embodied connection and deep diving into the vast ocean of collective consciousness.
My years at Esalen on the massage crew, farm and garden team, and as a teacher of movement and experiential workshops taught me to honor the land as teacher, and the body as vessel.
I had the privilege of being reborn as a Mother living among the ancient, wise redwoods in Big Sur, and that new life brought with it a new path that seemed to emerge from deep within. I discovered the importance of rites of passage, and learned about nourishment in a way I had not previously understood.
I learned how essential it is for Mothers to be held- deeply nourished & supported on their journey of becoming.
My life now is largely centered around Mothers and community building, as a homeschooling mother of two weaving life together on my own terms. I embrace this current chapter of motherhood, savoring the mundane & ephemeral beauty of creating life with my family.
It is an honor to hold and witness Mothers in their becoming, to walk alongside them in the journey through Matrescence.
