hi, i'm ciara.

I am so glad you are here!

My name is Ciara - pronounced 'key-rah' - and I am a yoga teacher, Ayurveda wellness coach, personal trainer, girl mama (best job ever!), dog mama + so much more. I live in Massachusetts with my family and spend my days teaching people how to cultivate a life filled with mindful movement, breath and daily self-care. You can find me outside most days - in my garden, on a paddleboard or out in nature. I'm passionate about nutrition, movement, wellness and feeling good from the inside out. I can't wait to meet you!

Wicked Om Yoga + Ayurveda began in 2017 and has grown so much in the last few years. I am beyond excited to continue to grow and evolve right alongside it and share it with all of you. Thank you for being here <3

Always learning + growing - on and off the mat.

She graduated from the University of Maryland College Park in 2014 with a double degree - a Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology and a Bachelors of Arts in Communications with a specialty in Public Relations.

Ciara completed her 300-Hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training with Maka Movement in 2019 and went on to complete her first 300-Hour Divine Feminine Ayurveda certification with Shakti Ayurveda School.

She is also currently working towards her Pre +postnatal Exercies Science certification with Sarah Duval and is constantly learning more about strength training and working with different populations through a trauma-inspired lens.

Since beginning her yoga + ayurveda wellness journey, Ciara has opened 3 CorePower Yoga studios in Baltimore,  led 3 international yoga retreats, created and led multiple 200 + 300-hour yoga teacher trainings, advanced trainings and worked with clients from all over the world. She's always learning more about: ayurveda, the divine feminine, restorative yoga, herbalism, plants, gardening, hormones, cycles, and women's health.

Forever working towards building community, creating safe spaces where people can learn, grow and live mindfully and thrive with intention.

Trainings + Certifications

Ciara never ceases to amaze me. Today, I needed to switch our session to yoga in my tiny bedroom because of construction in my house. Ciara seamlessly guided me through a challenging but deeply calming yoga session squeezed into a small space, adapting breezily as we went. I always know I will get a bang for my buck with Ciara no matter what the circumstances - I learn, I grow, I strengthen, and I feel happier when we finish.
