The Wholly Aligned Health Podcast
Wholly Aligned comes to you from Ciara Jean Roberts
Ciara is a writer, yoga and movement teacher of over 13 years, and a naturopathically trained nutritional therapist. Early teenage kidney failure, dialysis and two kidney transplants serve as rites of passage into deeper understanding of health systems and the imperative to take exquisite care of oneself and in turn each other and our living planet. Born in South Africa, raised in Zambia, an adventurer across nearly 40 countries to date. Birthing Wholly Aligned in 2012, she stepped away from a successful career in banking, to fully embrace the wonderous world of health and healing. Bringing yoga, nutrition, and a sense of the sacred to groups, communities, and individuals. Leaving London in Summer 2022, she now lives in Ramsgate, the place where the ravens fly, with the swell of the vast salty seas nearby.

hi been listening to your lovely pod cast about the Peruvian medicine wheel .. I really enjoyed it thankyou .. I have been drawing the wheel for the past 8 months and reached a point where I feel I need to deepen my knowledge further .. I would love to go to Peru, but at this time I don't feel I am able due to caring for my mother .. could you perhaps point me in the direction of a course within England that teaches the same wheel you were talking about please. Many Thanks Adam
