Clara Mackinlay

I believe real healing is holistic.
My integrative, trauma-focused approach blends somatic therapy, inner child and parts work, intuitive energy healing, and plant wisdom to help you reconnect with your body, your truth, and your soul’s innate capacity to heal.

I specialize in working with:

• Entrepreneurs and professionals—especially those who feel disconnected, stuck, or burned out
• First generation Americans and bilingual Spanish speakers who prefer sessions in Spanish
• High-achievers, people-pleasers, perfectionists, and chronic caregivers
• Women healing from childhood sexual trauma
• Individuals who’ve tried talk therapy and want something deeper and more embodied
• Those seeking support with psychedelic preparation and integration

My work is:

• Deeply relational – rooted in trust, empathy, and authentic connection
• Super somatic – using body-based practices to regulate the nervous system and release stored trauma
• A little bit woo – drawing from Reiki, ancestral wisdom, earth-based healing, and sacred plant medicine to honor your inner knowing

With advanced training in Somatic Experiencing®, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), therapeutic touch, somatic yoga, and Reiki, I help you move beyond symptom management and into deep, lasting transformation—reconnecting mind, body, spirit, and heart.
