Hi,
I’m Moira.
I’ve spent the past decade exploring how we heal and cultivate an inner sense of belonging. I spent a lot of my life paying more attention to the needs of others than to myself. This led to resentment, emotional disregulation, and eventually physical pain and illness. In my early 20’s I found yoga and began to shift my attention towards myself and began to rewrite my story and my purpose. I learned to tend to my body and my mind, say no, and become my own safe space. My curiosity in trauma-informed yoga led to a deeper call to understand our minds, bodies, and the ways we heal. In 2020, I went back to school to get my master’s in counseling. Through my education and training, I gained a deeper understanding for how we hurt, the ways we protect ourselves, and the path to healing. After working as a therapist for a few years, I began to feel the toll of the work and saw myself getting out of balance. As I was looking for a way to help myself through this, I felt the call to reiki and signed up for my first training. Connecting with reiki felt like a homecoming. I immediately felt something in me soften and give a big finally. I now love offering reiki to my clients and it has become a huge part of my life.
Education &
Work History
I received my bachelor’s degree from Washington University in St. Louis with a major in Anthropology and a minor in Public Health. I loved studying who we are as humans, our evolutionary past, and the ways that culture shapes our lives.
After graduating, I worked with Campus Kitchens, a non-profit organization that aims to reduce food waste and alleviate food insecurity in the St. Louis community. Through this work, I formed meaningful relationships with students and community members and saw the impact of not only being fed, but being met with care and warmth.
During this time, I completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training and began to teach chair yoga to the seniors who we served (which was a really special experience). I studied trauma-informed yoga more specifically and offered classes in a men’s prison, women’s shelter, and eventually created a yoga and mindfulness program for an organization that supported individuals after being released from prison. I completed my 500-hour yoga teacher training and began to teach full time in studios and in non-profits. I loved this time in my life and the work that I got to do. I became really interested in psychology and understanding trauma more fully, so I decided to go back to school to get my Master’s of Arts in Counseling from Northwestern University.
After graduating in 2021, I began working with clients at The Center for Inner Transformation, where I primarily utilized Internal Family Systems (IFS) to support clients in building inner trust, understanding, and wholeness. I got certified in somatic parts work, and began to integrate more body awareness in my work. I received my level one and two reiki attunements in 2025 and have loved weaving energy work and psyche healing together to support a more integrative and holistic approach to healing.
I launched Home in 2026 as a space that represents over a decade of personal and professional work and healing. It feels like a real honor and joy to be loving this work and to have the opportunity to hold space for others to meet themselves with compassion and a desire to understand.
The Personal Side
I came out as queer in my mid-20’s. I think because I had been so focused on others and who I was “supposed” to be for so much of my life, I had neglected to fully connect with knowing myself in a deeper and more honest way. I now love my queerness and see it as an integral part of who I am.
My wife and I have been married since 2021. She is just the best and I couldn’t do any of this without her. We have two Boston Terriers who complete our little family. We are both vegan and enjoy being active. We have a big garden and dream of moving out onto land that we tend with animals we care for (for sure ducks and sheep). We are very self-sufficient and love living slowly and intentionally.
I love depth. My moon and Pluto are in Scorpio, and I feel the most balanced when I allow myself to be in touch with the underworld and continually allow myself to be reborn. I’m drawn to ancient healing practices and wisdom, and will continue to study the mind, energy, and healing probably for the rest of my life.
Over the past few years I have become an avid reader. I love long stories of what it is to be a human. For other hobbies, I enjoy making ceramics, curating my home, and taking care of my plants and animals. I also love clothes and curating my personal style.
After years of introspection and building intimacy with myself, I can see that I really care about people and how they feel. I now also really care about myself and how I feel. I see myself as my first client and have learned to listen and respond to my needs. I feel more emotionally balanced than ever and feel confident in facing the challenges and joys of life with presence and self-connection.
