Hiii & Welcome - I'm Kiera

── ⋆⋅𖤓⋅⋆ ──

I am a neurodivergent person in my early 30s transitioning from a career in the mental health field to soul-led work.

I have been on my ~spiritual journey~ for the past six years and am ready to begin this next phase - one that is relational, where I get to truly hold space for your emotions and your learning, where I get to grow in my gifts, and where I get to feel my soul expanding. 🥹🌱🚀⌬

I bring with me an extensive understanding of the types of challenges we go through as human beings, with specific experience in parenting, children's mental/emotional health, and sexual and reproductive health (including sexual pleasure, sexual/domestic violence, abortion, and adoption).

While it is a foundation I am deeply grateful for, the decade I spent in this work lead to neurodivergent (or, really, colonial-capitalist-partiarchal) burnout - not because of the work itself but because of the environments, the structures, the beaurocracy, the non-profit bandaids, and the slow pace at which necessary changes are made. I did not feel able to use my true skillset, to incorporate holistic or spiritual healing, or to flourish in the opportunity to make a true difference in people's lives.

I also do not view 'mental health' in the way it has been presented in Western/contemporary society, believing that our overall wellbeing is shaped by the environments we live in and that "disorders" are simply nervous system adaptations, and even gifts, that we can work with. [That being said, I continue to recommend seeking the medical and mental health care that works for you, alongside spiritual and energetic practices.]

I have both a personal and professional understanding of and interest in trauma, addiction, disability, unsustainable relationship patterns, nervous system healing, attachment, mental health diagnoses, chronic illness, etc etc etc.

I have an intermediate understanding of Astrology, basic knowledge about breathwork, acupressure, and somatics, and (so Source keeps saying, even when I doubt myself) a profound connection with energy work and the Earth. One of my absolute deepest passions, highlighted in my birth and Human Design charts, is learning. I am soooo eager and excited to dive deeper into these modalities and learn new ones as I grow and grow and grow. :))) CranioSacral Therapy has been lifechanging for me, and learning this practice (and then learning how to do it via distance/no touch/quantumly) is a huge goal, as is developing my communication with the land and its creatures.

Speaking of Land, I am Irish and Scottish and a settler on Treaty 6, in ᐊᒥᐢᑲᐧᒋᐋᐧᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ (amiskwaciwâskahikan/Edmonton). Colonization and the separation from nature is the most profound wound on Earth, in my opinion. The absolute horrors and atrocities that have been committed, and that continue to this day, are becoming way too heavy for us all to hold.

I believe (and hope 😭) I am finished with the initiation phase of stepping into a Healing and Guiding role and am ready to give back what I have learned, in order for the Land and its Peoples to begin heal. It is my commitment, as I believe so so deeply that I am here to contribute to ₊‧✦•┈๑⋅raising the vibes⋅๑┈•✦‎‧₊ through helping people to feel Seen and Held, emotionally and energetically.

With all that being said (and I love to say a lot of things), please take a look at my offerings - I would absolutely love to connect.

Also, peep this writing from when I started making this website a year ago. 👀 It truly has been a challenging six years of learning, understanding, and embracing my life's purpose. I now believe I am getting on track with where I'm supposed to be. 

why did I msake tgus wensite, you may ask.

Well, I have actually for years wanted to make a website - both for the purpose of providing services and as a home for my photos. My original goal was to provide abortion support services for people in Alberta. Having worked in abortion care for a few years, I noticed that there is a lack of emotional and spiritual support surrounding this experience. As someone with a mental health-related degree and who has worked in the field, I have seen such a focus on the mental, without enough regard to how a holistic approach incorporates the body in a somatic, energetic, and spiritual sense. Grief, trauma, loss, heartbreak, abandonment, rejection, other unprocessed emotions, and unsustainable coping patterns become stored in our body - physically and energetically - leading to chronic mental and physicall illness/dis-ease as well as a feeling of stuckness in our circumstances. This can look like multiple relationships that mirror feelings of abandonment we experienced as children, burn out in work environments, chronic pain, digestive discomfort - the list really goes on.

I believe that the human body has the natural ability to restore itself to health. I believe that, as a species, we do not need to fear viruses, germs, parasites, 'demons.' These things currently have a tangible effect because, collectively, we do not understand we have the Power to heal quite naturally and easefully from these things. I have experienced chronic illness for 10 years now and am still currently healing from it. I have kept myself stuck in subconscious, in relationships and a career that truly are not compatible at a foundational level. The most progress I have ever made has been within mere months through regulating my nervous system via craniosacral therapy. For the past almost six years, I have been working on various areas of my life to build a foundation to heal, but I am now at a point where I am actually able to start releasing pent up emotions, energy, trauma, pain, and patterns somatically.

One of my goals is to be able to provide energy and quantum healing in addition to nervous system regulation and somatic release for people - accessibly. I believe everyone deserves access to healing, and I feel deeply committed to offering this to people in a way that creates true change. I am still building my skills, toolkit, and confidence, but I have been prompted that I do have natural and powerful healing abilities. Among other things, I am able to recognize patterns that have been programmed into the nervous system and ways to resolve them.

I continue to become aware of my mission here, which, in part, is in conflict resolution - internal, in relationship, and between larger entities, like war. I am still learning and gathering pieces of how this all looks and trying to make sense of it all. It feels delusional and impossible at times, but at my core, I do believe that "the limit does not exist" and that this work is not even a choice per se but part of an absolutely necessary path to change on Earth. The more we heal within ourselves, the less we give in to fear, and the less we see each other as threats. The Land deserves to Heal. The Ecosystem deserves to come into Balance. We deserve True Joy and Fulfillment, and I fundamentally believe this is achievable. We all have different parts to play - this is mine.
