Who we BE.
At Wilder + Sage, I believe that healing is a return to your natural state of belonging. My work is a bridge between the precision of the scientist and the grace of the healer through a collaborative journey to decode the language of your body and lead you back to center.
My path to Ayurveda was paved by my children, Forrest Wylder and Juniper Sage, but it was forged in a personal reclamation of my own light. For years, I modeled a life of "smallness," dimming my own worth and ignoring my intuition until I reachTo align a paragraph toed a threshold. Through Ayurveda, I learned that self-care is not a luxury but an act of liberation. My mission is to help you shed the layers of your own unworthiness and step into your true creative nature. I want you to be so deeply attuned to your own vitality that even when the world feels chaotic, you have an internal compass that always knows the way home.
I believe that the way we treat a mother in the wake of birth changes the frequency of the world. The "Sacred Window" of postpartum is a threshold where a woman is as newborn as her babe. When we nourish the mother, we heal the collective. By protecting these 42 days with lineage-based care, we break generational cycles of depletion and create a foundation of secure attachment in modeling for our children what it looks like to be truly cared for.
True transformation is a slow, sacred ripening. I don’t offer quick fixes and I don’t stick to only Ayurvedic solutions; I offer a steady container and utilize tools I’ve collected along the way. We partner over several months to give your nervous system the time it needs to unfurl and your body the space it needs to remember its own wisdom.
I work with the seekers who are tired of being told their "common" ailments are "normal". If you are ready to stop living small and start living in the fullness of your power, let’s begin this investigation together.
Me? I’m Cara and my greatest gifts are curiosity and exploration.
The Path of Service: My work is a bridge between the molecular and the medicinal. As a world explorer, meditator, yogi, formerengineerand now an Ayurvedic Doctor, I’ve navigated both the high-pressure corporate world of large-scale food production and the deep stillness of Himalayan ashrams.
I know the heavy weight of the "working mama" juggle. I spent decades living so far in my head that I lost the frequency of my own body, silencing her messages just to get through the day. I’ve been both fulfilled and burnt, and I know exactly what it’s like to not feel safe in your own skin. Today, I use my scientific lens to help you stop the white-knuckling and start the journey back to yourself.
The Toolbox: I am an Enneagram7w6, which means I am a natural seeker. My curiosity has led me through an endless candy jar of seemingly unrelated trainings from personality typing to reiki all of which I’ve gathered to better serve you. I use these various lenses to see you clearly and provide the exact tool you need for your unique healing journey.
The Vision: When I’m not working, I am rediscovering the world through the eyes of my two children, Forrest and Juniper. We spend our days playing in the mountains and the water, dreaming of a future on our healing homestead. I envision a world where we wild-craft our own medicines, live in community, and lift our voices together.
I dream of a world where women are properly cared for. When a mother is supported, her children begin their journey on solid ground, securely attached, nourished, and able to be their full creative BEings.
The Connection: Like many healers, I was drawn to this work to navigate my own suffering. When I became pregnant, that "seeking" turned inward. I knew I needed to heal my own roots so I wouldn't pass my trauma down to my children.
I know in my bones that if we find ourselves working together, there is a sacred reason for our paths to cross. I am here to learn from you, just as you learn from me.
