Ciara is a writer, yoga and movement teacher of over 11 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 35 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.

Anoushica: Sibling kidney donation and the healing power of receptivity
In the bright start of a brand new series,' Integrating a holistic approach to kidneys', Ciara chats to her good friend Anoushica.
Including the very turbulent rollercoaster with her kidney transplant following a serious fungal infection that left her in hospital for over 3 months this year. Including days in intensive care.
We cover the ache of her brother wanting to give her a kidney, her feelings of responsibility as the older sibling to him. Her eventual recognition that he was a grown man, wanting her to be alive and well. So that was the gift back to him. Reciprocity.
We talk of the healing power of receptivity. As women especially, our willingness to receive. And how our healing journey happens in a. spiral. There is a divine timing - the courage too to cultivate self awareness. Always ongoing and evolving.
And end with visioning a dream for the future. Get uplifted and join us in this intimate chat.
A beautiful and honest conversation. Enjoy!
