Ciara playfully invites our inner muses to come forth, in exploration of what brings life the greatest meaning.
I was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland, I have called the beautiful state of Oregon my home for 12 years. I was brought to this field of work through my own healing journey with psilocybin and with the deep understanding that used in the right space, it is a powerful tool for growth. In my own journey of healing, I used “traditional” methods, but found they fell short in creating the life change I strived for. I began to explore meditation, and this initiated a spiritual quest towards a heightened consciousness and profound personal healing. I eventually began to fold psilocybin into my practice, aimed at dismantling the emotional barriers and triggers that impeded my trauma processing and personal growth. Through a combination of meditation, yoga, psychedelics, and immersion in nature, I have navigated a transformative path of self-discovery and healing. This journey inspired a desire to extend similar assistance to others.
Through my own experience I understand the many layers that come with working with this plant medicine, and it is my practice as a facilitator to co-create a safe, warm and loving environment for my clients to be able to do that deep dive. Central to my approach is the cultivation of a non-judgmental and secure bond with each individual. I believe this foundation of trust allows for open exploration and meaningful progress in our work together. I understand the feelings of anxiety that come with starting a relationship with psilocybin. Just know that these feelings are normal, and I believe with the right preparation and a strong bond with your guide, you can feel more at ease on the day of your journey. During our preparation session together, we will talk about identifying and setting meaningful intentions and I will also focus on tools you can practice before the day of your psilocybin journey, these will allow you to relax and let go into the experience more easily. We will do focused coaching in various relaxation and somatic practices, such as breathwork, various meditations, personal mantras or prayers and somatic tapping. My intention behind this approach is the hope that these newfound relaxation skills can be brought into your everyday life as coping tools for stress, anxiety and better sleep.
We will also bring them back into focus during our integration sessions. I am open to working with anyone who feels a connection with me, we are all in this human experience together. I have worked with clients from all walks of life, for many different reasons. These have included treatment resistant depression, negative coping patterns, those facing end of life or healing from the loss of a loved one, personal growth and self-exploration, healing from traumatic relationships and those seeking a deeper dive into their spiritual journey.
Psilocybin is not a “quick-fix” to healing, but a stepping stone to growth, and I would be honored to walk beside you in your journey.
