BIOLicensed Acupuncturist, Functional Nutrition Counselor, Certified Personal Trainer & Author of “Fuel Your Engines”, Cara-Michele Nether has been a licensed health practitioner and founder of Strength & Vitality Wellness near Baltimore, Maryland, for the past 19 years. She specializes in transforming sporadic stabs at self-care into reliable energy-building routines that become a natural part of the day for women between the ages of 45 and 65. She has been recognized as the Best-Rated Acupuncturist in Baltimore for five consecutive years. As a business owner, wife, and caregiver to aging parents, Cara-Michele understands the challenges women face when balancing family, work, and self-care.  She has guided hundreds of women to regain control of their well-being through simple, bite-sized practices. Her Self-Care Consistency Framework focuses on creating sustainable habits that generate mental and physical energy with less struggle and strain. Cara-Michele loves to say that feeling good is the easiest way to do good. Growing up, Cara-Michele observed the mental and physical self-harm her mother and other women caused themselves by prioritizing everyone else’s needs above their own self-care. As a young woman, this made her both sad and angry, but later in life, she found herself in the same trap.  Even as a seasoned health practitioner, she was diagnosed with an avoidable health concern at age 52.  This experience reinforces that knowing what to do is rarely a problem for intelligent, hard-working women.  Getting it done, the leap to consistent self-care is the invisible hurdle. Her mission is to inspire ten thousand women to embrace self-care consistency and rewrite their wellness stories.
