Hello! I'm Cara Matocha, your Functional Wellness Consultant and soon to be friend. I'm sure we have plenty in common. Perhaps you are at a crossroads in your health journey. I was there once too. I was tired, frustrated, and not feeling well. I had a young child with constant stomach issues who was not growing. My husband was stressed, exhausted, and gaining weight. As a family, we were not living our best lives and looking for answers. The problem was, our family doctor, and the specialists he would send us to, didn't have the answers either.
Surprisingly, an encounter with essential oils started me on a quest for answers which eventually opened up a path to wellness. Plants as medicine? What a concept! As my family became happier and healthier, my heart led me to begin pursuing more serious studies while sharing this new-found knowledge with others.
In the Spring of 2019 I became a certified Aroma Freedom Practitioner. That same year, my family connected with a Functional Medicine practitioner. He was the first healthcare practitioner that didn't think we were crazy when we shared our experiences with him. He walked my family through a series of health issues, transforming us in mind, body and spirit. Through this process we learned a great deal about phytonutrients and plant based supplements.
I hold a certificate in Functional Medicine and am currently pursuing a Doctor of Naturopathy degree. I also hold a degree in Communication Design from Carnegie Mellon University. For the past twenty years I've worked professionally as a graphic designer where I developed a LOVE for partnering with others to help them realize their dreams. With switching to a focus on health, my heart's desire is to partner with individuals who are ready to make the changes necessary to live the fullest life God has planned for them.
