Medicine Women

– honouring our inner wisdom –
reclaiming cyclical living

Welcome home to your body.

Welcome home to your soul.

Welcome to cyclical living.

If you feel tired and overwhelmed by holding so many threads in their life, but struggle to find the thread back to yourself, this is the place for you.

If you long to feel connected to yourself and the natural cyclicity of life around you, this is the place for you.

If you love the idea of “coming home to yourself”, but you don’t really know how…

WELCOME, you are in the right space.

At the heart of all of my work is the belief that all transformation/healing begins by embracing our longing for connection and the cyclicity of life.

These medicines are right within us. Let me help you remember.

My work may be for you if …

  • You love the idea of “coming home to yourself”, but you just don’t know how and what exactly that even means

  • You want to bring more depth, connection and calm into your world and want to reclaim parts of you that got lost when taking care of everyone and everything else.

  • You long to feel deeply connected to the cyclicity of life and nature

  • You feel exhausted and don’t know what true rest feels like (and it's not ½ hour on insta, scrolling..;, just saying-)

  • Your menstrual cycle is at best something that just happens, at worst something that derails you every month – and you are curious on how your cycle can become your closest ally.

  • You are standing at a threshold and want to be sure your next steps are truly embodied. It could be stepping into perimenopause, a career change or gaining clarity in relationships.

  • You have a sense that you carry your own unique medicine, but cannot quite grasp what this is.

Welcome, I am Claudia Balara and I’m so glad you found your way here…

I love creating online and in person containers for women to come home to their wisdom and realise that we all carry our own medicine; that we all are

Medicine Women….

I am a teacher, a mentor, a weaver of connection and community. I listen deeply, I love to create communities, I believe we don’t need fixing, but spaciousness and being witnessed…

Based on thirty years of Tibetan Buddhist practice and more recently apprenticing with teachers from the Andean Lineage of the Seven Rays and many other modalities, I create safe spaces for women to remember and reconnect to their own truth.

I love weaving together and sharing the practices that support me most in feeling grounded and connected with you: 

Being a Medicine Woman doesn’t mean that you have it all “worked out” (whatever that means anyway). I certainly don’t. For me, being a Medicine Woman means a commitment to our own healing, turning to support from our well and healed ancestors and to learn from the cyclicity of nature, both around us and within. It means creating beauty and ritual in our lives, making the mundane sacred and trusting that we already have all we need inside ourselves. (It also means f***ing up,  making compromises, doing it imperfectly…it's a journey, isn’t it?) ,

  • The highlight of my month is the day I push aside everything to sit in ceremony with Claudia and Mother Cacao. She has created a beautiful community and holds the space with reverence and grace – meeting the energies of those present. Her gentle guidance as we journey with this wonderful medicine always soothes my soul, leaving me feeling nourished. Thank you.

  • I am so grateful to Claudia and her offerings, they take me so deep and truly come from the heart. She really is a carrier of medicine.

    Natasha

  • I am grateful for the many hours Claudia has devoted to her own practices and I feel the peaceful resonance of this in the spaces she holds. I am amazed at what can be created in the online space. Deep love and thanks for this generous gift and sharing.
