Kiara Brown is a Licensed Professional Counselor, EMDR-certified therapist, and certified hypnotherapist specializing in trauma healing, anxiety, and nervous system regulation. She is the founder of Lunar Counseling, where she works with individuals who feel stuck in patterns of overthinking, emotional shutdown, chronic stress, or disconnection from themselves. Her work sits at the intersection of clinical therapy and spiritual integration. She combines evidence-based modalities such as EMDR with somatic techniques, subconscious reprogramming, and holistic practices to support deeper, lasting healing. A core part of her approach is helping clients understand how trauma is stored in the body and how it shapes thoughts, emotions, and behaviors over time. Kiara believes that healing is not just about managing symptoms, but about reconnecting with the self beneath survival patterns. She creates space for both structured therapeutic work and deeper internal exploration, allowing clients to process experiences while also building a more grounded sense of safety and identity. In addition to her clinical work, Kiara is the host of the Lunar Counseling Podcast, where she has conversations with therapists, healers, and practitioners about trauma, embodiment, and the integration of mental health and spirituality. Her goal is to make healing feel both approachable and real, without losing the depth of the work. She also develops therapeutic tools, including guided journals and hypnosis recordings, to support continued healing outside of sessions. Through all of her work, Kiara focuses on helping people feel more regulated, more connected, and more aligned with themselves in a way that feels sustainable.

Vanda started her career as a Sports Therapist nearly 2 decades ago after suffering from chronic back pain for 13 years after a horse riding accident. In and out of various healthcare professionals and doctors surgeries and on and off prescription medications, she made a full and complete recovery after being introduced to the world of Neuroplasticity and Modern Pain Science practices. She immediately set about learning more about the power of the brain and has continuously developed her knowledge with both musculoskeletal function and neuroplasticity.   In 2021 her world was turned upside down when she suffered from a Spontaneous Cerebral Spinal Fluid Leak, a rare condition in which a tear in the spinal membrane causes the protective fluid within the skull to leak and the brain to slump. This creates a number of severe and totally debilitating symptoms every time an upright position is assumed and at the start, Vanda was essentially bed bound and had to crawl around her home and eat her food off the floor, just to keep her head down and the fluid in her skull.   She lived with this condition for 2 years before having spinal surgery with metalwork screwed to her spinal column to resolve the issue. When the surgeon saw the size of the tear, the largest he had ever seen, he was stunned she was able to even sit up, let alone stand, walk, work and function relatively normally.   Vanda was able to achieve this 'medical miracle' by using the principles she now teaches others as part of her groundbreaking course, Magic Mind, Miracle Body and her experience with Chronic Pain as well as acute post surgical pain has ignited a deeply profound passion to help the millions of people whose lives are totally dictated by pain and the frustration, anxiety and depression that long term pain causes.
