Recently, Cara was asked to become a founding member of the The Cannabis Spa Association when Renee introduced her to the importance of the endocannabinoid system, and the benefits of medical CBD,CBG, and Hemp. With this knowledge of how this regulatory system promotes overall wellness and cannot only treat conditions of the body but be used to enhance and heal the skin as well. Working with The Cannabis Spa Association gave Cara the opportunity to provide her clients with a one of kind skin care line that has CBD, CBG, and starfish extract that not only produces 2.5 times the amount of collagen but has multiple other never before seen results! When she’s not seeing clients, you can find her hanging out with her best friend and husband!

Her career in nursing began in 1983, as an RN graduate of the Union Memorial Hospital, School of Nursing with her RN degree, followed by a Bachelor of Science degree from Towson University.

As a lifelong learner, she has discovered a passion for health and wellness. Using

cannabis as medicine, she educates and advocates for patients to use cannabis

responsibly to restore homeostasis and improve quality of life. Included in

cannabis medicine, she encourages healthy diet, exercise, relaxation/meditation

practices and education about the human endocannabinoid system. 

She previously practiced cosmetic aesthetics, assisting patients to improve their self
