I’m Clare,
I help you rediscover who you are after a huge life change so you can say with confidence "I'm not the same...and that's okay!" as you go and grab life. Because life is too precious to keep trying to fit back into a box you've outgrown.
Using powerful coaching techniques I help you to discover who you truly are and what you want from life so that you can flourish.

How often do we let ourselves do something just for the pure enjoyment? If I’m honest my answer is not very often. Yes, I’ve just had a lovely break during which I devoted my waking hours to relaxing and enjoying myself, but how often do I do that during my normal week?
Do you know what motivates you? It seems a simple enough question, but the answer can be many layered.
A really fun part of my job is getting to hear about my clients’ successes. Big or small, it doesn’t matter. If a woman is a step closer to the life she wants to lead, the way she wants her life to be, that’s worth celebrating. That said, my clients, more often than not, are thrown the first time I ask, “How did you celebrate?” It brings them up short.
