CAIYAM

BIO

Hello, I’m Caiyam, formerly known as Cain Carroll.

Since childhood, I’ve been a passionate student of the world’s wisdom traditions. My mother was my first spiritual teacher, and her guidance ignited a lifelong journey to explore the roots of human suffering and pathways to embodied freedom and fulfillment.

Over the past thirty years, I’ve immersed myself in the ancient teachings of India, Tibet, Nepal, China, Japan, and Thailand—studying with masters of yoga, qigong, Buddhism, Daoism, animism, and ancestral healing. Inspired by these deep lineages and the need for a universal approach, I developed the Nine Petals Model and the Clearbright Process, a unique synthesis that supports people in reclaiming their vitality, authenticity, and sacred presence in everyday life.

My work focuses on conscious intimacy, sacred sexuality, relational healing, trauma transformation, and reconnection with the body as a temple of living wisdom. I bridge the worlds of cutting-edge science, somatic therapy, and spiritual embodiment—creating safe, luminous spaces where the raw, instinctual, and divine dimensions of human experience can be honored, felt, and alchemized.

I offer personalized processes that integrate deep listening, somatic awareness, breathwork, emotional release, and relationship repatterning. My approach is both clinically grounded and transpersonal in scope, opening a field where true healing, purpose, and creative life force can reawaken.

Beyond my 1:1 coaching work, I’ve directed two yoga schools, trained over 1000 teachers, and led retreats and courses in more than 20 countries. I’m the author of Partner Yoga: Making Contact for Physical, Emotional & Spiritual Growth, Mudras of India, and The Four Dignities: The Spiritual Practice of Walking, Standing, Sitting, and Lying Down.

In 2021, I co-founded Clearbright 501(c)(3), a nonprofit organization devoted to self-healing, embodied wisdom, and nurturing global communities of sacred learning and practice.

What I offer:

• A space of deep presence and unconditional acceptance

• A somatic, energetic, and relational approach to healing

• Personalized support to unwind trauma and restore intimacy, love, and creative expression

• A grounded, spiritually integrated path to reclaim pleasure and joy across all Nine Petals of life

If you feel the call to work together, I welcome you with an open heart. This is a sacred moment in your journey—and I would be honored to walk with you as healer, guide, mentor, and spiritual friend.
