CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

“Cara brought an enthusiastic desire to learn about women’s health, pregnancy and postpartum when I met her over 11 years ago in my prenatal yoga teacher training. She was only 25 years old, yet her thoughtfulness, compassion and seeking nature with this very mature area of study veiled her
young years.

Over a decade now, I have witnessed Cara’s growth into a first rate teacher, a extraordinary woman and a committed and loving wife and friend. Cara teaches with her heart and truly serves the women and families she comes into contact with because she lives her “talk”. If she were in Seattle I would scoop her up in a heart beat to teach with me.”

“I signed up for pre-natal yoga hoping to find new stretches to comfort my changing body. What I found during the five months I took class was a sense of empowerment as a mother, a community of support and bond with my infant beyond what I could have imagined. Cara creates a supportive, non-judgmental space for a woman to connect with her spirit, her body, and her power as a mother. It changed my thoughts about the birth process, opened up new options, and connected me with circle of supportive friends and resources.”

“My daughter and I have enjoyed the past year in post-natal yoga as much as our pre-natal experience. It is a time set aside once a week for me to focus on reclaiming my body while I bond with my child and other mothers. It is the highlight of our week. If someone asked me for one piece of advice as an expectant mother, it would be to sign up for Cara’s class immediately and stay as long as possible.”

Shannon Lawson

“I always knew I wanted a drug free birth; however, I had a very “commercial” idea of pregnancy and labor and my thoughts didn’t go past pain medication. That all changed in my 14th week of pregnancy when I met Cara Wright at pre-natal yoga. She taught me to not only honor my pregnancy, but to become aware of the type of birth experience I wished to have. I can honestly say without Cara’s guidance I’m not sure I would have known how to adjust to my body’s changing shapes or the idea that I could birth my baby. Thanks to the path Cara showed me our daughter joined us by way of a natural hospital childbirth with minimal medical intervention.

Cara has become a dear friend and although she was not in the birth space acting as my Doula, I believe she filled that role during my pregnancy and since after. Her caring spirit inspired and prepared me for Motherhood. As I approach the 14th week of my second pregnancy I am excited to rejoin Cara at pre-natal yoga and embark on a new birthing journey. Either at home or in a hospital my husband and I look to follow the same natural path with the birth of our second child.”
