My name is Caralie Cash. Most of my friends and family call me Cara, but I am comfy with either.
I am a mother to 5 brilliant children who teach me all the good stuff.
I was born and raised in Utah and have never migrated too far. Because of that, I crave meeting new people, diversity and ideas that make my thinking stretch.
I am the owner of Apani Academy of Footzoning and Balanced Health. I have been footzoning for 18 years and teaching/instructing for 14 of those years. I am also a Medicine Woman for a local chapter of the Nez Perce Native American tribe. I have extensive training in aromatherapy, essential oils, holistic healing, Metaphysical Anatomy, herbs, homeopathics and nutrition.
I first discovered the footzoning modality in a desperate attempt to help my own daughter heal from her congenital kidney disorder. It was one of those things where I felt completely led by the Divine to find answers and relief. Our experience with her miraculous healing changed the way our entire family views health and healing, our diet, the environment and how to overcome dis-ease. I received my original training in footzoning from The Nordblom Institute. Since then, it has been a non-stop journey of learning and discovering and remembering.
I find joy and fulfillment in helping both by clients and students on their own health journey. I love standing as a witness as they discover their innate gifts and uncover the truth about themselves. Empowerment is irresistible. Those that I work with often become part of my friendship circle.
I am a follower of Jesus Christ. He is my master healer and I delight in watching for evidence of his hand working in my life. I have a deep faith in God and the perfect love that is available to me. In my free time, I can be found in my garden, reading and studying, hiking in mountains, long walks with my dog, attending kids sporting events, dancing in the kitchen, pretending to do yoga and creating.
In the Native American culture, the butterfly is a symbol of hope from an ancestor. It is common practice to tattoo themselves or engrave butterflies on baby cradles to help the infant sleep. Some even perform “apani dances” in their tribal dance routines. The legend goes that God took all his favorite colors and put them in a bag. He gave the bag to the children to open, and out flew all these gorgeous colored butterflies! The children were delighted. The butterflies had a voice and sang beautifully, but the birds got jealous and reminded God that he had promised them the birdsong. So, God kept his promise and removed their voice. I chose to name this program Apani to represent the beautiful symbol of hope, balance, symmetry and reminder that there is always a way to show our true colors and transform ourselves back to vibrant health.
