Cara Thurman

Cara
Owner, LMT, Wellness Coach

My path to opening Vinings Massage with my husband has been a long one. After working in marine conservation, then owning and running a small organic vegetable farm, I started experiencing some health problems. Seeking a holistic approach, I found myself a massage therapist who helped me manage the anxiety and pain that comes along with illness. Through this relationship, I discovered, first hand, the extraordinary benefits of Massage Therapy. After recovering and regaining strength, I knew that I wanted to pursue a career in holistic healthcare.

Providing the space and support for people to create wellness in their lives as well as a place for individual practitioners to thrive has become my passion. I love doing all types of massage, and specialize in working with people experiencing cancer and chronic illness. I also perform Pre- and Post-natal Massage, along with massage for anxiety, stress, and pain relief. I am also a Health and Wellness Coach, which enables me to help men and women move through the experience of life with control and ease.

I have been providing massage therapy and bodywork since 2006. Having learned from many great healers over the course of my massage career, I have found it beneficial to incorporate several different styles into a single session. I have received advanced training in: Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Myofascial Release, and Oncology Massage, but I am also skilled in Swedish, Deep Tissue, NMT, Foot Reflexology, and Indian Head Massage.

My career has led me to contract with corporate offices, sports agencies, film studios, chiropractic offices, hospitals, and luxury spas. When I am not practicing massage therapy you can find me volunteering in my community, enjoying a cup of coffee, or hiking one of Georgia’s beautiful trails.
