We're humbled you're here.
This work is sacred to us.
We live, breathe, eat, sleep & drink what we teach.
Every moment of healing we share with
others is a
sacred and powerful gift.
We believe every single moment is an opportunity for healing. We know that living aware is an ongoing exploration, not one that any human will ever perfect. While we both hold our own private practices as healers, the bond we have forged through our friendship has called us to co-direct the LaChiara Method.
We bring our love of healing, our playful spirits, and our deep devotion into every offering we create. Our ability to meet trauma and pain head on is not only informed by many years of training, but also comes from our own personal experiences.
We know that healing is complex
Meet Gabrielli
Gabrielli LaChiara
Gabrielli holds her private practice in Amherst, MA. In 2001, she faced a personal diagnosis of breast cancer, which further fueled her desire to ignite healing on every level possible. Her commitment to unpack the profound interface of body, being, soul, and spirit became even more intense.
She established her full-time private practice in 2003, and in 2004 began what is now called The LaChiara Method, which is the basis of all of our offerings. She’s been training energy workers, bodyworkers, healers of all modalities, and anyone called to apply their intuitive gifts for healing humanity ever since.

What clients say

— Sue Stangeland
A combined five decades of
healing work.
- We live what we teach — not as a performance, but as a practice
- We approach every body, every story, every session with reverence
- We believe healing is both deeply personal and beautifully communal
- We hold space for what is hard, and celebrate what becomes possible
We live by and stand in these values in all that we do.
01
Integrity
We Value:
- HUMANITY and every single person on this planet. We are committed to continually examining our biases, bringing them into conscious awareness, and refining both our offerings and our consciousness — because we recognize that racism and oppression are present within and around us.
- Curiosity, open-mindedness, and humility; knowing that the journey is imperfect, and so are we.
- Feedback and accountability — we take it to heart.
- Healing as a lifelong journey, with textures, waves, peaks, and valleys. We are not chasing finish lines or cures, but creating practices that support the process.
- Growing pains — we understand they are part of the work.
- Our brilliant allies — social justice consultants, community organizers, spiritual leaders, friends, and educators — whose insight, patience, and expertise continually shape and expand our work.
- Safety — we are devoted to creating the safest and most supportive containers possible for students, clients, and participants.
- An understanding of the impact of inherited, intergenerational, and present-time oppressive cultures and dynamics.
- Your experience of the journey — we recognize that the most powerful healing happens from within you. We honor your voice, your consent, and your awareness, and support you in thinking for yourself — to take what resonates and leave the rest.
- No finish lines — not even for ourselves. We are not “done” with healing, and we do not present ourselves as perfected. We are committed to being real, honest, and in integrity about what healing looks like from the inside out.
- A culture of giving back — we donate a portion of our time, resources, and money to organizations working toward social justice, equity, and the health of our planet.
02
Healing
We Value:
- Body, Being, Soul, Spirit, Earth, and Divinity as integral components of healing.
- The understanding that every body carries trauma — and that cultivating trauma-aware, energy medicine practitioners creates safer spaces for healing and greater potential for growth.
- The dismantling of habitual patterns that perpetuate white supremacy, patriarchy, and oppression.
- The recognition that every sensation in the body is a communication from the Soul.
- The practice of clearing energy as a pathway into deeper healing and the personal responsibility required to create equity for all human beings, and for the Earth. We use these practices to confront tendencies toward spiritual bypassing and to deepen accountability.
- The vulnerability and courage required to heal in the presence of others.
- Empathic abilities as powerful capacities for healing — for self, others, and the world.
- Every human life as worthy of love, care, health, resources, kindness, and protection.
