Welcome!
Thank you for landing here.
My name is Jethro Macaraeg (he/him). I’m a second-generation Filipino therapist born and raised in Waipahu, Hawai‘i.
I know what it’s like to carry strength and silence at the same time.
To show up for everyone else and wonder if it’s ever safe to choose yourself.
My practice, Cages to Wings Wellness, is rooted in lived experience, cultural memory, and the belief that healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It’s about remembering what’s whole.
If you’ve been navigating identity, expectation, or exhaustion, you’re not alone.
You’re allowed to take up space here.
Take your time exploring the site. If the words, the energy, or the rhythm of this space resonate, I’d love to connect.

How I Hold Space
This isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about showing up real. Steady. Unfiltered.
I hold space with care that adapts.
Clear when it needs to be. Gentle where it matters.
We don’t sidestep the hard stuff.
We move through it with honesty and at a pace your body can hold.
You don’t need perfect words.
You just have to bring what’s real.
That’s more than enough.
There’s room here for what’s been heavy, hidden, or waiting to be felt.
