Kiara provides alternative and ancestral remedies designed to promote holistic healing from trauma and empower her clients to construct the lives they aspire to manifest.

Kiara, who has triumphed over her own struggles with trauma and unwellness—once hospitalized and bedridden three years ago—now exemplifies a life of holistic health and thriving vitality. She passionately affirms that joy, wellness, and abundance are everyone's birthrights and is eager to accompany clients on their transformative journeys.
