Community Leader • Massage • Yoga Teacher
Kara Ford is the founder of Upward Light Healing and a lifelong student of the healing arts. Her journey began at just eleven years old when she discovered a natural ability to bring comfort and relief to others. What started as an intuitive desire to help has evolved into more than 25 years of experience supporting people through physical, emotional, and energetic healing.
Drawing from extensive training in massage therapy, craniosacral unwinding, yoga, Reiki, energy healing, DNA activation, and intuitive healing modalities, Kara offers a compassionate whole-person approach to wellness. She believes true healing happens when the body, mind, and spirit are given space to reconnect, restore, and thrive.
In 2020, Kara founded Upward Light Healing as a response to her own experiences with pain, loss, and transformation. Her vision was to create more than a wellness practice—it was to build a community-centered sanctuary where people feel safe, supported, and empowered on their healing journey.
Known for her grounded presence, intuitive insight, and nurturing care, Kara holds space for each person with authenticity and compassion. Whether through bodywork, energy healing, yoga, or mentorship, her intention is to help others reconnect with themselves and experience greater balance, peace, and well-being.
