Claire is a therapist and wellness coach based out of Madison Wisconsin. She has over two decades of experience in the mental health field and fitness industry as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and group fitness instructor. Claire is a certified mindfulness coach, yoga teacher and grief counselor. She is skilled in helping women understand themselves, move through their challenges with strength and grace and live their lives with intention.

Claire has been an athlete her entire life and fell in love with endurance sports as an adult. She has completed multiple marathons, distance cycling events and ultimately the Wisconsin Ironman. Over a decade ago, Claire realized that she needed to slow down a bit and connect more deeply with her inner self. This is where her journey with yoga and meditation began. Claire’s rich foundation of movement and mind/body practices are her lifeline and have helped her navigate some of her most difficult challenges. Claire’s personal challenges (the most recent being a diagnosis of ALS), have taught her that what we do in this world is less important than who we are and that showing up for the process is just as sweet as accomplishing the goal.

Claire believes that health does not equate to a number on the scale, the ability to complete an athletic event or even the lack of disease. Instead, health is how we show up in the face of dis-ease. Life continuously offers invitations to practice self-leadership and make compassionate choices that are aligned with our highest self. So why not accept the invitation? If you long to reconnect with yourself, create lasting change and move forward in your life with intention and purpose, Claire is excited to work with you!
