Coaching Testimonials:

"I've seen many therapists and coaches and Cyrena is by far the most effective in creating a clear strategy in my relationships. After receiving coaching from Cyrena, I feel more empowered to assert my boundaries and needs in my relationships and understand their place in my own self-worth."

-Annonymous, NYC

"First and foremost I want to express how easily and comfortably Cyrena guided the conversation. The way in which she articulates herself and her experience of the conversation is stunning. Having her reflect the intricacies of my relationship to consent was uncomfortable yet it was something that I felt utterly safe to explore. Cyrena's capacity to provide a container to learn more about oneself was one of the most tender experiences I've had in a while. The work that she does and the attention that she provides is profound and intensely necessary. Such love and such gratitude."

-Jaqueline M, Canada

“Thank you again so much, and I love your idea to transfer this power into other areas of my life now. I have been able to be more direct, and saying no more easily now. On the dance floor at Ecstatic the other day a man started dancing with me and touching my back just being too touchy in general and I shut him down so fast and said excuse me stop I don't want to dance this close, and created my space boundary. I usually don't like making others uncomfortable or feel bad and now I'm not caring how others feel and putting my needs first.”

-Heather, CA

Women's Empowerment Song Circle Testimonials:

"Thank you for last night, I absolutely loved it and would be very interested in returning. You lead a beautiful evening"

"I really enjoyed the way Cyrena facilitated this women's circle. She created a safe and fun space to explore the vulnerable feelings that can come up around self-expression and being seen.

Cyrena's playful spirit and gentle facilitation made me feel comfortable exploring my emotions around the voice and expression. She encouraged taking chances with harmonies, having fun, not being afraid of making mistakes and feeling free to express and explore without judgment and evaluation.

Cyrena provided a solid container for holding what came up for us as we explored the tender territory of opening the voice. It felt like a safe and nurturing space to be held in as I tried new things with my voice and leaned into my edges.

By the end of the workshop, I really felt my voice open up and I was more comfortable just letting it flow. The circle improved my sense of trust and connection in others which is necessary for being visible and allowing full expression. I definitely underwent an internal transformation in the span of just a couple hours."

- Chanelle, East Bay

"Singing in community is something humans are meant to do, and Cyrena is a beautiful facilitator of that magic. I left the evening feeling full-hearted and joyful, and excited but relaxed about my journey to my voice. My voice needs encouragement and healing, and it is so wonderful to share that in the company of other women on the same journey. My voice felt safe to sound "bad" and just explore together with new friends.

The meditation and warm up to get the party started was beautiful and helpful to drop the events of the day and drop into the present moment. The fluidity of the event felt organic, safe, and co-created. Perhaps unsurprising coming from a teacher of communication and consent -- very skillfully done.

I heart-ily recommend these sessions to my friends and look forward to more."

- Dana K , SF

"Tuesday evening was beautiful. I stated it at the event and I really appreciated how attentive you were to each and every voice present. The way you moved challenges into deeper explorative terrain immediately was stunningly intuitive. I learned what a fertile ground voice exploration is for spiritual development. I can definitely see how going to these regularly would allow the medicine to integrate and amplify. I will be at more. At the moment I can’t commit due to work/school full time. However I do like the freedom of spontaneously showing up when my schedule permits. What you are offering is wonderful!"

-Alita, East Bay/LA

“Arriving back from circling with Cyrena this evening, I feel luscious, divinely connected, and sourced deeply from within. Her way of holding space in is so intentionally focused in the sacred. When I got caught up in my story, she lovingly guided me back to prayer in a way that helped me re-assess what’s most important to me at this time and call that in. In this intimate space I felt free to be myself, free to express, experiment, play, and drop into my powerful center. I am so grateful that she is holding this space for women to come together in prayer , as we have been doing since the beginning of time. This space is perfect for those like myself wanting to build confidence in sharing their voice with larger groups. Cyrena is so easeful and grounded in her vocal mastery, so sincere in her healing prayers for humanity. She is truly a gift to our community and I can’t wait to share space in this way again~ In Lak’ech.”

-Amelia WindRiver, East Bay

Workshop Testimonials:

"The last series Cyrena Giordano did at the Golden Mandala was really transformative for me. I tuned into parts of myself that really needed attention - and learned new ways of communicating that are so valuable for my relationships. The group conversations brought light to so much of what's up collectively right now. And the movement meditations brought me into a super euphoric yet embodied space. I'm excited to dive deeper into this work, an immersive container sounds incredible."
