Queen of Cups
Supporting you through the seasons of Motherhood.
The Queen of Cups is a timeless archetype of a deep feeling woman equipped with intuitive wisdom and attuned presence- a guide for the feminine heart.
You may be standing at the threshold of Motherhood, recovering from birth, or finding your footing in the profound transformation of matrescence.
You may be longing to feel more at home in your body, more connected to yourself, and more supported in the season you are moving through.
Wherever you are in your becoming, you deserve care.
At the heart of my work is a deep remembrance that we are meant to care for one another- through touch, presence, and connection to ourselves, our community, and the land we inhabit.
I'm Cara, founder of Queen of Cups.
I support women through seasons of transition with nourishing bodywork, Mother-centered postpartum care, and womb-tending ceremonies. This work invites you to slow down, listen deeply, and trust the wisdom already present within you.
I began my practice as an RYT in 2010, in my hometown of Los Angeles, CA before moving up the coast to Big Sur. Much of my foundation was formed over a decade working at Esalen Institute. I was immersed in healing arts, community living, and land-based practices. It was there that I became a certified Esalen Massage practitioner, with additional training in Shiatsu, Prenatal Massage, Reiki, Feldenkrais, Deep Bodywork, and Fascia Alchemy, and continued my work as a movement teacher.
My years learning and working at Esalen taught me to honor the land as teacher and the body as vessel. These teachings continue to influence the way I work today, informing the depth of presence I offer every woman who enters my space.
While these experiences shaped my approach, it was Motherhood that transformed my understanding of care. Soon after having my first child, I discovered the work of Rachelle Garcia Seliga and became a certified Innate Traditions Postpartum Care Provider.
Through my own initiation into matrescence, I experienced the unraveling and reweaving of identity, and came to understand the importance of rites of passage, nourishment, and community support.
I experienced the essential truth that Mothers are meant to be deeply held.
It wasn’t until the birth of my second child that I actually integrated this wisdom. Experiencing how profoundly care and community impacts us as Mothers has become the foundation of my work.
Today, my life is centered around Motherhood and community building. As a homeschooling Mother of two, I continue to learn from a life of tending to my family, tending to women, and tending the land that holds us.
It is a pleasure and an honor to do this work, to witness women in their becoming, and to walk alongside Mothers through matrescence.
We are not designed to Mother alone- we need connection and reflection on our journey of becoming.
HERE’S HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER
