Hi, I’m Cara Hardifer!
I am so happy you are here!:)
Have you been to countless doctors who do not give you a reason why you are experiencing symptoms or do they dismiss your concerns?
Do they just prescribe another medication that comes with countless side effects and really does not get to the ROOT ISSUE?
Are you constantly going from appointment to appointment in hopes one day you will not be struggling with a health issue?
Well welcome, darling! You found the right place. Because here we HEAL!
Healing has always been a core importance of mine from a young age. Even though as a child I was aware of what you should and should not do, I have truly been following a life of conscious healthy living for upwards a decade now. In 2012, I was provoked to question what were the best quality products and where I could find the cleanest food for the highest quality life. Since then, I learned and tried new ways to get to where I am now.
THE PATH OF IHP
At the start of 2020, I went vegan in attempt to improve my health. Two years into being vegan, I noticed my body not functioning properly or healing right. I went to the doctor who did not give me much to work with other than "eat more and make sure you are hydrated and sleeping"- seems like a sparse thing to say to someone wanting answers. I dealt with that "answer" multiple times before looking to other practitioners who could help me. At last, I turned to an IHP to see what she could offer. What she did was look at my blood work, asked me questions about my lifestyle and diet, and recommended lifestyle changes and supplements. Now here's the difference between the doctor and the IHP for me- I had to put in the WORK to achieve my goals which I was more than willing and ready to do all while learning ways to help my body function properly.
Since working with an IHP, I have learned more about my body, mind, and spirit and I have found myself. This is not to say everyone should become an IHP, rather "alternative" ways can give you what you are truly looking for. So, if you find yourself not getting answers to real solutions for your health it is time to ask yourself: Are you ready to put in the work for your health? If so, feel free to contact me via online, email, or social media. It would be my honor to help you heal and become the happiest you you can be!
Sláinte,

My Approach
I believe we are all beautifully unique and we possess the power to change our health for the better! The blueprint for humans across the world is the same, but our backgrounds, diets, environments, and lifestyles all vary. In other words, we are all equal, but that does not mean one treatment plan works the same on everyone. It is called bioindividuality. Meaning each human has unique biological and physiological characteristics including genetics, body type, blood type, hormone levels, and much more. I also fully believe we have the strength to alter our gene expression to better enhance our health with the proper education. This is called epigenetics, and the basis of this concept proves to me we have more of a choice in our health than we are told. With me, I get to know you and your lifestyle all while looking at what is going on inside at a cellular level (if you choose to complete labs) to better find a plan to aid your concerns.
By understanding that YOU are different from everyone else regardless of similar symptoms, I can ensure you we will achieve your goals with the proper mindset, time, support, and education.
Dream it
Together, we can help you get on the right mindset to achieve your goals. I am a firm believer that anything is possible and I fully believe the body always wants to heal itself if we give it the raw material it needs to do so.
Build it
I will customise a personalized plan for you. The plan will include diet alterations, lifestyle changes, and supplement recommendations. We can start you on a protocol to address underlying issues if you choose to do so. My goal is to educate you about your biochemistry and how small and often free lifestyle swaps can enhance your health.
