Hey there I'm Cara Lancaster,

I am so grateful you have found my site! I have been a registered nurse for 20 years and most of my career has been spent at a level 1 trauma hospital. In my time, I have cared for people with injuries and diagnoses ranging from the most extreme to the very simple. But at the hospital, there is no time to pursue what I am really passionate about, which is inspiring people to be a healthier version of themselves. Becoming a Board-Certified Nurse Health Coach is exactly what I've been wanting to do. 
As a nurse we know so well how to care for others. But just like so many of you we forget to save some energy to care for ourselves. I too have been there before- unhealthy, deeply unhappy, just doing my best to survive. I have worked very hard on my mind, body and soul and still do to this day. I keep my body moving with trail runs and lifting weights. I find peace in being with nature, trees and rivers. And then there's my two incredible kids that fill my heart with love.

No matter the age, young or old, it is never too late to start caring for yourself and making healthier choices. Upon completion of your trail, you will have learned so much about health and more importantly how effective a mindset can help you reach any goal. I am so excited to work with you on your trail of life.
