About Claire
My Journey
I began my career in the beauty industry over 30 years ago, working as a Beauty and Body Therapist and later running my own village salon for over a decade. I have always been drawn to creating space where people can feel cared for, supported, and at ease in their bodies.
Over time, I became aware of how many of us live in a constant state of “doing,” often disconnected from rest and our own inner needs. This led me to explore more holistic, body-based approaches that support deeper regulation and wellbeing.
Through my training in CranioSacral Therapy, I was introduced to the body’s natural capacity for balance, stillness, and healing. This gentle, listening and touch approach continues to shape all of my work today.
Why I Do This Work
I create space for rest, regulation, and restoration, supporting you to slow down, feel supported, and reconnect with yourself. I work with clients through Facial and Body Therapy, CranioSacral Therapy, and integrative mind-body coaching, particularly during times of stress, change, or transition. When the body feels safe, it naturally begins to soften and restore. From this place, people often experience greater ease, clarity, and resilience.At the heart of my work is gentleness — in how we care for the body and how we meet ourselves in daily life.
Gentle Care. Gentle Touch. Gentle Resilience.
For those who feel drawn to go deeper, I work alongside clients to explore patterns, beliefs, and behaviours, supporting change in a way that feels safe and sustainable.
My Philosophy
My work is shaped not only by professional training, but by lived experience and an ongoing exploration of balance, rest, and what truly supports wellbeing. I believe in creating space to pause, breathe, and listen to what the body is asking for. In a fast-paced world that often encourages doing more, we can still move toward growth, goals, and change in a way that feels steady and sustainable. By softening our pace and staying connected to ourselves along the way, we allow ourselves to be present for the experience, not just the outcome.
I believe wellbeing is not something we force or achieve, but something we return to when we slow down enough to notice what we need.
Training & Experience
Alongside my certificates in aesthetics and physiology, I trained in CranioSacral Therapy with the Upledger Institute, where I deepened my understanding of the body’s innate healing intelligence. I am a certified CranioSacral Therapist (CST-T), with advanced-level training in SomatoEmotional Release.
For further information on CranioSacral Therapy and its approach, you can refer to the Upledger Institute: www.upledger.com.
I am also a certified Gentle Release Therapy Practitioner, Mind-Body Practitioner, and Holistic Life Coach. My training integrates neuroscience, psychoneuroimmunology, positive psychology, and principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and is grounded in a strong ethical framework supported by ongoing professional development.
Today, I work from a nurturing cabin space surrounded by trees and nature, offering gentle, sensory, and restorative treatments that support both skin health and whole-body wellbeing. I also work with mindful botanical skincare and am certified in Natural Cosmetic Formulation, allowing me to tailor skincare to individual needs.
