Ciara playfully invites our inner muses to come forth, in exploration of what brings life the greatest meaning.

What clients are saying about Ciara:

“Ciara was so helpful and I'm so incredibly happy to have chosen her to facilitate my session. I felt absolutely no judgment for any of the questions I had being a first-time user of psychedelics.”

“I appreciated being allowed to have my own experience with a warm, caring presence.”

“Ciara had some really good guidance about how to approach some of the thoughts and feelings that I don't really understand that came up. Also, she was able to name some of the experiences I had and normalize them for me, as a "typical" part of the experience.”

 I was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland, I have called the beautiful state of Oregon my home for 13 years.  I was called to this field of work through my work as a transformational life coach and with the deep understanding that when 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.

My Philosophy on Facilitation:

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. 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 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. Integration is where deep insights meet real-life change—and I bring in my life coaching practices to help you ground your experience with purposeful, lasting action.

I am open to working with anyone who feels a connection with me.  I have worked with clients from all walks of life, for many different reasons. These have included treatment resistant depression, 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.  I come from a place of no judgement as I know we are all in this human experience together.  So know that whatever you bring to the table, I will be there not only as a support, but also a friend.

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.

Ciara completed an approved facilitator training through Cognitive Clinical, and has her OPS Worker Permit and Oregon facilitator’s license.
