In this graduate episode of The Holistic Grief Coach Podcast, I'm joined by Ciara, a certified Holistic Grief Coach, who shares her profoundly honest journey through losing both parents, navigating chronic trauma, and rediscovering her sense of magic and purpose.
Ciara opens up about:
Losing her dad in 2009 and experiencing the shocking reality of grief for the very first time.

The devastating 9-month hospital journey with her mum, including advocating for her while she was on full life support.
How anticipatory grief, nervous system dysregulation, and secondary losses shaped her healing journey.

The slow unravelling of her identity and what it took to find her way back to herself.

What drew her to the Holistic Grief Coach Certification and how it transformed both her grief and her sense of purpose.
This conversation is a reminder that grief isn't something to “get over”, it’s something we learn to live with, grow through, and even find meaning in.
✨ If you’re grieving, you’ll find comfort in Ciara’s honesty and warmth.
✨ If you’re curious about becoming a grief coach, you’ll see what’s possible when lived experience meets purpose.
