Somatic Therapy
Within the body lies the keys to freedom that you seek.
Unlike talk therapy, Somatic Therapy works directly with the body—where memories are stored—to create deep, lasting relief from patterns that have often troubled women for a lifetime.
Though awareness is growing, modern culture still largely overlooks how trauma shapes daily life, restricting our natural capacity to live and express our truest, most vibrant selves.
As a result, many women carry these limits as personal failings, adding layers of shame and self-blame to an already overwhelmed system.
Trauma is a state of consciousness – and it’s not fixed or permanent. It shapes the lens through which we see the world: whether life feels supportive or hostile, whether we feel lovable and cared for, or convinced that wellbeing is out of reach. This lens shifts with the consciousness we can access in any moment – and somatic healing plays a profound role in this level of change.
Ciara combines somatic therapeutic skills with shamanic awareness and a deeply feminine approach to the healing process, creating powerful, multi-layered transformation. Her own lived experience gives her a rare gift: she can skillfully distinguish and separates trauma’s grip from the authentic self beneath, gently guiding that true essence in hiding into full expression.
For lasting change, a minimum of 8 sessions is recommended, allowing new ways of being to integrate into everyday life. This work is neurodiversity-informed and rooted in a deep understanding of diverse social and cultural backgrounds.
Ciara is a trainee Psychotherapist and not yet clinically licensed. She is, however, professionally trained in advanced trauma-healing modalities and certified to offer safe, effective therapeutic support for trauma recovery. Suitability is assessed case-by-case, with referrals to other practitioners provided when needed.
The organism is always striving towards wholeness, we just remove the barriers and it happens organically
Your whole being wants to return to its most complete and authentic state, and the magical thing is that – just like anything in nature – it knows exactly how to do it. The simplest way to describe this work is that we simply dissolve what’s in the way, so that nature can take its perfected course. The practical result is that as obstacles are removed, your life will effortlessly rearrange itself into its most ideal form with very little force.
A minimum of 8 sessions is recommended to facilitate complete and lasting change

My journey with Ciara began with a profound knowing that I required assistance to find my way home to my body. I had mastered the ability to compress, contract, escape and turn away from all that I could not bear to witness much less feel. Being human in a body represented the most limited form of existence according to my very strong mind and multi-verbal expression. Her capacity to create an alchemical container for me to experience being safe, stable and secure was the invitation to begin. For the very first time in my life, I felt seen by another human being. Over the next few months, I began to melt away the frozen and paralyzed sensations of being trapped. My heart’s song re-emerged as pieces of me returned. I am forever grateful for this brave way shower of feminine freedom. The embodiment journey continues with a sense of fluidity, grace and ease.

“Show me love for a day and I can feel good for a day, teach me how to love myself and I can feel good for life”. In a nutshell, that is how I would describe my recent work with Ciara.
I am not talking about self-love as we generally know it, I am talking about the deepest love that one can have for oneself, and indeed, needs to have for oneself, to feel fully present and whole in this world.
I was convinced that I was loving myself deeply. But despite all I knew and how far I had come on my self-love journey, I hit a roadblock that shook me to my core. I found myself swimming in a sea of confusion, not knowing where to turn or who to trust and worst of all, thinking and feeling like I had explored all options and that there really was no way out of this one. So with equal amounts of desperation and hesitation, I hit the send button to say yes to the 8 week program with Ciara.
I am so so grateful that I did. It has given me such a foundation for remaining centered no matter what life throws at me. I felt fully safe and fully confident in Ciara and in her ability to guide me to a place that I was not sure existed. She has the gentleness that I need to open up, she has the depth that welcomes any emotion, and unlimited perspectives to show me what is going on in my system.
I feel more at home in myself, embodied as Ciara so aptly described it. It’s moving from knowing it in our heads to knowing it in our bodies. And this feels so natural, so good, so normal, a real coming home to myself. With so much gratitude to Ciara.
