Your Menopause Midwife

Supporting you through the menopausal change and beyond.

The Food Solution By Cari Schaefer, DACM

Do You Feel Out of Touch with the Vibrant, Whole Person You Truly Are?

Does your body feel off? Is your mind racing for answers? Does your soul long for balance?

Are you yearning to feel like yourself—your true, whole self?

Wellness isn’t just physical; it’s the harmony of your entire being—heart, mind, and body.

Through my own journey, I’ve discovered that true healing goes beyond addressing symptoms.

It’s about integrating all aspects of you.

And here’s the most important part—you don’t have to do it alone.

I’m Here to Guide You Every Step of the Way!

Are you feeling exhausted, achy, or weighed down? Struggling to sleep, suffering with anxiety or depression? Managing an autoimmune or other medical diagnosis? No matter what you’re facing, your body is trying to tell you something—and I’m here to help you listen.

Using my 25 years of clinical experience, Functional Medicine and lab testing, combined with the wisdom of ancient tools like intuitive body scanning, observation, and inquiry, we uncover the barriers preventing you from doing what you’re designed to do: heal.

Healing, true healing is a deeply personalized journey. It requires more than just taking supplements or changing your diet. Let’s go beyond anything you have experienced before and support every level of your being.

I am here to walk beside you on this journey, guiding you so you do not have to figure it out on your own.

Are you ready to start feeling good and living a life you love?

Success Stories

  • “Words can not express the amount of respect and appreciation that I have for Cari.  I suffered from hypothyroidism and adrenal fatigue.  She helped me identify the root causes emotionally and physically.  With Cari’s amazing talent for finding the stresses that caused this condition, I was able to heal and continue to support my body.  I continue to see Cari for all my health issues.  Her love and care along with her expertise always make me feel confident that I will be taken care of.  I recommend all my clients and friends to Cari because I know they will feel better after being in her care.”

    — Marla Mervis-Hartmann, Reiki Master

  • “I met Cari four years ago and this visit changed my life forever.  In the beginning Cari and I were working on my digestive issues, but after awhile I have discovered so many areas that we were targeting with our work.  Cari is a beautiful human, caring, loving, very knowledgable and versatile practitioner, and one of my go-to health practitioners in town.  I cannot express how grateful I am to have met her.”

    — Marina Kolaric, Author, Speaker, & Transformational Life Coach

  • “I absolutely adore Cari.  Not only is she extremely knowledgeable at what she does, but her way of connecting and caring for her clients is what makes her so incredibly unique.  Cari has helped me improve my health by tapping into the emotional layers that are standing in the way of my wellbeing.  She helps you connect with those pieces so you can release them AND create space for your body to get back in balance.  Cari gives you exactly what your body needs to heal itself gracefully.  I can’t say enough good things about her!  Cari has been instrumental for me during one of the most challenging times of my life.”

    — Adriana Sorgi, Empowerment & Transformation Coach

  • “Cari is a master at what she does – she helped me identify a hormonal imbalance that was being caused by a skin cream I didn’t even know had hormones in it. Cari’s knowledge, wisdom and intuition makes her one of the best in her field. She’s the real deal!”

    — Sandra Biskind, #1 Best Selling Author of the Codebreaker Platinum Series, Speaker & Transformational Life Coach

  • “Cari is a modern-day medicine woman and my go-to for staying vibrant and healthy the natural way. I originally went to her for a recurring issue that layer by layer, she helped uncover the root cause and I’m happy to say is no longer an issue. Now with the full life I lead, Cari remains a staple in my calendar so that my body (physically and energetically) stays strong. Cari is a brilliant woman with a huge heart. If you’re interested in having phenomenal health, go see her!”

    — Deborah Kagan, Speaker, Author, Mojo Recovery Specialist

  • “I was so fortunate to have found Cari Schaefer!  I suddenly had an enlarged thyroid gland, it literally looked like I swallowed a golf ball.  I reached out to Cari who was so warm and positive.  She was encouraging about the healthy life style choices I had been making, but after a detailed analysis of my diet, energy, emotions, and through muscle testing she offered me a solution that turned my life around.  After three months the thyroid gland enlargement was gone.  Now I am on daily supplements that support my energy and outlook.  I have been told by several friends and colleagues that I look younger than I did five years ago.  More importantly, I feel like I not only have a knowledgable natural medicine woman as my guide, but a lifelong friend who truly cares about the quality of my life.  Thank you Cari!”

How We Support You


  • Body Stress Analysis combines non-invasive techniques into a unique system designed to identify areas of stress and support your body’s natural healing process.

    When the overall stress on your system decreases, the extraordinary healing abilities of your cells and tissues are activated, allowing your body to restore balance and vitality.

    This clinically proven approach draws from thousands of years of Chinese medicine and modern lab testing, offering a healing experience that’s likely unlike anything you’ve encountered before.

    The combination of Intuitive Body Scanning and lab testing is so precise that it can unlock safe and lasting recovery—even in cases where other methods have fallen short.

    The combination of Intuitive body scanning and lab tests is so precise that it opens the door to a safe and lasting recovery, even in cases where everything else has failed.

  • The foundation for health is created through the choices we make every day. What we eat, and more importantly, the quality of what we eat is essential to creating a solid foundation for health and wellness. Through years of experience I have learned that when good nutrition principles are applied, a body heals faster and more thoroughly than when they are not.

    Every client is required to read Dr. Cari’s book The Food Solution. In this book you will you learn sustainable nutrition principles to support your system by simply and easily providing it with what it needs for optimal health. In our follow up sessions you will then be supported through the process of gradually implementing those changes at a pace that is comfortable and easy for you.

  • Albert Einstein defined insanity as “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Clinical experience has taught us that what we do and the choices we make on a daily basis affect our health more than anything else. So, when looking to change how you feel it is necessary to assess and alter some of the choices you are making. The first step is to identify the choices and habits that are negatively affecting your health. Next, we guide you, step-by-step, in making different choices that will support optimal healing. Your plan is completely individualized on a gradient determined by your personality type. Through this process, you learn not only the lifestyle habits that are most negatively affecting you, but more importantly you are supported in developing new habits that will promote health now and contribute to you staying healthy and vibrant for a lifetime.

  • Have you ever wanted to change a “bad” habit, but no matter how hard you tried you were unable to? Have you ever had a health problem that seemed to get worse when you got emotional? You may have a Outdated Survival programming that is affecting your ability to heal and reach your full potential.

    Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) is a gentle approach to finding and releasing unresolved, negatively charged emotional programming stored within your nervous system. When experiences of fear, anger, grief, low self-esteem, shame, etc. are unresolved they can get “stuck” in your nervous system causing neurological imbalances. NET uses a simple methodology to identify and remove stored programs that are having a negative effect on not only your physical health, but also your ability to obtain the life of your dreams. It can improve and even resolve many physical and behavioral conditions such as headaches, body pains, organ dysfunctions, phobias, general anxiety, self-sabotaging behaviors, and so much more. It is our experience that when NET is combined with Nutrition Stress Analysis, profound, life-altering, positive transformation and healing occur.

  • Decreasing the overall stress on your system is essential for healing. Intuitive body scanning adds a powerful tool to identify what’s causing stress in your system. While lab tests provide valuable insights, they can’t track your progress in real time. Body scanning helps us assess how your system is responding, determine if your supplement routine is truly working, and make adjustments as needed to support your healing.

    This unique approach is the key to improving not only your physical health but your overall well-being on every level.

  • Functional Lab tests are ordered for you on a case by case basis. If your most recent lab tests have been within the last year, then those tests are used whenever possible. Please bring a copy for us to keep. Following is a list of the most common tests used. For chronic problems additional test may be requested.

    • Comprehensive blood tests $135-$175 (average)

    • Comprehensive stool panel $380-$430

    • Salivary adrenal panel $160-$210

    • Female salivary hormone panels $120-$450
