Inara Furnari - Clinician

Inara Furnari-O’Mara is called to be of service to their community and they feel deep gratitude for the opportunity to connect with individuals during these strange and uncertain times. Inara has been a mover and meditation practitioner for twenty years. 

They received a Masters Degree in Dance/Movement Therapy and Counseling in 2010, and since then they have found increasingly creative ways to apply their knowledge and experience in a variety of realms of growth and healing from teaching dance and art, working as a life coach, ritual facilitator, reiki practitioner, and offering consultation and support to leaders and communities.

Inara holds their practice in the same vein as practice within the context of spirituality and ritual. They perceive their work as an act of bearing witness to humanity and a commitment to engaging in ways to decolonize and reimagine the healing process. They wish to support people in cultivating capacity, deepening awareness of their own innate strength and power, and processing experience so as to heal and grow in ways that inform how we choose to show up for the future. A primary focus of their work is relationship and working to identify, examine, and transform our sense of connection to self, nature, and others; drawing out thoughts or stories that aim to demean or diminish the benefits of our awareness and sensitivity and then nurture our unique skills and abilities in the realms of connection and communication. From here, deeply connected to self and the truth of the natural world around us, we can most effectively extend ourselves to others and form community from a place of integrity, autonomy, and sovereignty. 

Inara is a certified End of Life Coach and Death Doula, offering support and guidance to individuals and families around end of life, as well as offering ways to drop more fully and earnestly into the daily gift that life is. Inara is committed to their own process of learning, unlearning, and growing, so as to maintain integrity and capacity in all the services they offer.
