Hi, I’m Ciara. 🤍
If you’ve found your way here, I’d love to share a little about why SALTY MOMS means so much to me.
For many years, I was a working mom trying my best to hold everything together.
When my son, Sebastian, was born, our journey looked different than we had imagined. He was born blind in one eye and has a rare form of cerebral palsy. Our days quickly became filled with doctor’s appointments, therapy sessions, and learning how to advocate for the little boy we loved so deeply.
One of the hardest parts wasn’t just navigating the unknown—it was feeling like I was constantly being pulled in two directions. I wanted to be present for Sebastian’s therapies and appointments, but I also had to work. There was a constant tug-of-war between providing for my family and wanting to be by my son’s side.
As the years went on, I realized something else.
While I was pouring everything I had into caring for my family, I had completely forgotten how to care for myself.
I know I’m not the only mom who has felt that way.
Maybe your story looks different than mine. Maybe you’re caring for a child with unique needs. Maybe you’re balancing work and motherhood. Maybe you’re simply exhausted from carrying the invisible weight that comes with being “the one” everyone depends on.
Whatever your story is, I want you to know this:
You don’t have to carry it alone.
That’s why I created SALTY MOMS.
SALTY stands for Sometimes Anxious, Loving, Tired, Yet Hopeful, and MOMS stands for Moms Offering Mindful Support.
This isn’t about having all the answers or pretending life is perfect. It’s about creating a community where moms can come exactly as they are—where we can breathe, connect, learn from one another, and remind each other that we matter too.
Today, I’m also continuing my education in Child Mindfulness and Neurodiversity Coaching because my family’s journey has shown me how important it is to support not only children, but the moms who love them with everything they have.
If you’re here, I hope you know you’re welcome.
Whether you’re thriving, surviving, or somewhere in between, there’s a place for you here.
Thank you for being part of this community.
With love,
Ciara 🤍
Founder, SALTY MOMS
