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.

Dr. Shahrzad Jalali is a clinical psychologist, executive coach, author, and founder of Dr. Jalali & Associates, a trauma-informed psychotherapy practice, and Align Remedy, a platform for integrative healing, coaching, and education. With over a decade of clinical experience, she blends depth psychology, nervous system science, and soulful insight to help individuals access lasting emotional and psychological transformation. Her work is rooted in the understanding that both the body and psyche hold deep wisdom—and that healing begins when we learn to listen. Rather than pathologizing symptoms like anxiety, overwhelm, shutdown, or chronic dysregulation, she teaches clients to approach these experiences as signals from an intelligent system. By decoding internal patterns—such as stress responses, attachment styles, and emotional defenses—Dr. Jalali helps clients understand what their symptoms are trying to communicate. From this place of curiosity and compassion, they learn to regulate from within, re-author their inner narrative, and return to a life that feels aligned and whole. She is the author of The Fire That Makes Us, a book about turning trauma into strength and reclaiming your story with clarity and courage. Her signature course, Regulate to Rise, offers a somatic and psychological framework for healing emotional dysregulation, building nervous system resilience, and fostering grounded self-leadership. Dr. Jalali works with high-performing yet emotionally exhausted individuals who are ready to shift from survival to inner stability and expansion. As a speaker and educator, she teaches on trauma-informed leadership, identity, boundaries, and the wisdom of the body. Her mission is to help people read their systems, relearn their rhythm, and rise—more integrated, more resilient, and more rooted in who they truly are.

Katherine Vilnrotter, of The Love Cure, is a mental and emotional wellness practitioner, entrepreneur, and author. After surviving a life shattering sexual assault while serving in the Peace Corps, Katherine spent the next 11 years healing her brain, body and energy system. When the mental health system in the US was convinced that she would always have PTSD, she wasn’t. Suffering through almost 5 years of full-blown PTSD, searching for answers and learning about what she was experiencing, she finally found the Human Givens approach. After 1 Human Givens rewind session, she could feel something shift in her brain and over the following months, she witnessed her world expand in ways she never thought possible. Now a Human Givens practitioner herself (and fully PTSD free and thriving), Katherine continues to further her healing in new and deeper ways, exploring and discovering new healing tools. Katherine is passionate about sharing the healing tools that helped her heal herself and guide her clients through their own healing journey. Her two main practices are the Human Givens approach and energy harmonizing (a modality she developed using energetic and vibrational tools such as BioGeometry, sound, meditation and brain/body connection). Through Katherine’s continued education and self-healing, she is uniquely equipped to meet clients where they are, and guide them through their own healing.
