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

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.
