Hi, I’m Kiara — IFS Practitioner, Conscious Visibility Coach, and Thoughtful Space Holder.
I created Thoughtfully Elevating® to support deep feelers, sensitive leaders, and high-achievers, especially bipoc folks who are done shrinking themselves to survive. Here, coaching isn’t about fixing you — it’s about helping you return to the truth of who you’ve always been.
As an IFS-level 2 trained practitioner and licensed therapist, I bring a trauma-informed, identity-conscious approach to everything I offer. Whether I’m guiding an entrepreneur through visibility blocks, supporting a therapist launching their private practice, or facilitating a healing circle for women — my work is rooted in care, curiosity, and liberation.
I know what it feels like to have a big vision and a loud inner critic. To crave authenticity, but feel tangled in perfectionism, performance, and old protective patterns. That’s why I do this work — to help you lead with more clarity, confidence, and inner trust.
This isn’t performative healing. It’s thoughtful elevation — from the inside out.
I know what it’s like to feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. My own journey of self-discovery led me to IFS, and it completely changed the way I see healing and transformation. Now, I’m passionate about sharing this work with others—helping you step into your power and navigate life’s challenges with more self-trust, inner peace, and alignment.
If you’re ready to explore your inner world, heal old wounds, and create meaningful change in your life, I’d love to support you.
