About

I’m Cari Ciccarella, a seasoned therapist, somatic coach and holder of sacred space with over two decades of experience supporting individuals through trauma healing, and personal transformation. My roots are in clinical therapy, where I’ve specialized in complex trauma, and the "disorders" that accompany these experiences.

Over the years, I’ve come to understand that healing is not just a mental process, but a physical and spiritual one as well. Trauma's emotions, sensations and memories, live on in the body. Out of this understanding, Breathing and Becoming was born as a sanctuary for those seeking deeper, more embodied healing than traditional therapy often provides.

This work is not about fixing what’s broken, but about remembering what’s real, what’s sacred. Through somatic breathwork, movement, and presence-based practices, I guide people back to their own wisdom, helping them release the burdens they carry and reconnect with who they truly are underneath it all.

Whether you’re navigating stress, grief, burnout, or simply sensing that something in you is ready to shift, I offer a grounded, compassionate space to explore your inner landscape. My approach is deeply informed by both science and soul wisdom. This is more than coaching, it’s a sacred partnership in your becoming.
