About Kira
I teach my clients how to stop worrying about what's wrong with them and start figuring out what's right with them.
Whether it's helping them quiet their overthinking, realize their self-worth, build unshakeable relationships, or uncover more little moments of joy throughout their day...
I blend my 16 years of experience with positive psychology, neuroscience, life coaching, mindset and skill-building, TV shows and movies, a healthy dose of humor (and a sprinkle of swear words), all wrapped up in a generous helping of woo.
I do this on my weekly podcasts, in life-changing group programs like (THRIVE), one-on-one- coaching, and retreats where I take women around the world to amazing places like Costa Rica, Italy, Mexico, Santorini, Cruises, and even events occasionally in the States.
Retreats are my absolute favorite thing to do on earth.
