“Excavating the Soul is what the world needs in this moment in time. Kiantha's vulnerability makes you feel safe enough to explore your own insecurities. And then she asks the exact poignant question that challenges you to reflect on your own trauma - great and small - as you start the process of healing your soul.”

“I am going through the gift of your work “oh my! This speaks to my soul tremendously. I love how you present an opportunity at every turn, how you weave in gratitude after excavating painful truths, how you humanize the double dealing of trauma and offer gems, lights, growth and moments of solitude.”

Hadda Estrada

“When I first opened Kiantha's journal, written and designed to guide individuals in understanding their soul, identity, and pathways to healing from trauma, I was struck by a profound sense of awe and admiration and physical sweat!. Each page seemed to resonate with an authenticity and depth that spoke directly to me and it was so relatable. The exercises and reflections offered within were not only insightful but also deeply directed to a transformative and encouraging inward journey that felt both intimate and expansive. As I read through the prompts and soul-stirring narratives, I could feel a gentle unraveling of my own layers, making me think of hidden truths and new perspectives. This workbook is more than a guide; it is a compassionate companion on the path to one's self-discovery and healing, leaving me inspired, enlightened, and moved by the wisdom, experiences and care embedded in its pages. Thank you!”
