Sessions

I have known Cara since my teens. My brother passed when I was ten and my father at 15. I heard about her through my mother, who ironically practices as a grief counselor. The first time I went to see Cara I was nineteen and a bit skeptical. I left forever changed. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Cara a few times during major life events when I long for my dad and brother’s input and just need to feel close to them. I have a tendency to block them out or shut off to their presence that Cara ensures me is there. I’ve also assisted friends in going to see her who have lost loved ones. Cara has an incredible gift. One that makes me want to follow her around and never leave her side. She is able to create a space where you can fall apart, can question, can heal, and can laugh. Most importantly, she reminds me that I haven’t lost them at all. I’ve never felt stronger feelings than sitting across from her, but I’ve always felt allowed to be completely myself and experience our time the way I’ve needed to. It feels impossible to explain what takes place in session with Cara, but those times have been some of the most monumental moments of my life. 

 From the first moment of meeting Cara I was at ease.  Consulting someone with such a specific and special gift was new to me and based on my faith and beliefs, not entirely clear if it was “ok”.  It is evident from the start that this is a genuine person who’s goal is to help in any way she can with the special abilities she has been blessed to possess.  I have met with Cara numerous times over the past few years.  It started with a desire for closure and clarity with a family situation involving a parent that had passed away.  From there, I have met with her not only in regards to specific situations but at times for a general “check in” with myself.  It is always time well spent and I am thankful to have her as a clear and sincere resource in navigating moments in life where I need all the help I can get! 

There is a merciful Grace that envelopes a mother whose child dies; else we would not be able to carry on. Also, it was Grace that helped me find Cara Maddox. During our first session, Cara led me gently into conversation with my darling daughter. I left that day in 2006 exhausted, having shed buckets of tears. Today, after many sessions with Cara leading the way, I have come to understand and accept many painful things about her, our relationship, and most importantly how to go on without her.

  I feel very fortunate to have been introduced to Cara. She has helped bring healing, comfort, and meaning back into my life. My 21-year-old son died July 2014. He and I were to spend time together that day, but when I arrived to pick him up, I found him dead.  You could say I died that day, in a way I did. I am definitely not the same person I was. Through my time with Cara, I have come back to life and have learned to develop a different type of relationship with my child. One that was unimaginable before his death. Cara has the talent to connect with loved ones on the other side of the thin veil that separates us. In our sessions, I am able to connect with him. Knowing he is here releases some of the pain.  Knowing he is doing fine gives me comfort. I can feel his energy and love now! I am profoundly grateful to Cara. Her gift has brought light into the darkest corner of my life. With love and gratitude.
