Hey, I’m Claire, holistic life coach and energy healer

Have you found yourself in the midst of huge changes, feeling like you are looking at the rubble, feeling lost and overwhelmed and wondering where to go from here and how you can heal and rebuild? Do you feel scared, no longer wanting to live in the past but not sure what the future now looks like? Are you looking for someone to help you make sense of the chaos?

I know how this feels as I have navigated life changes so many times. Each time I learned something new and grew stronger.

From the huge upheaval of going through divorce, relocation, losing a parent, career change and most recently – a totally unexpected job loss that made no sense to me and left me feeling like my identity, myself worth, my confidence and self-esteem were all under attack along with the feelings of injustice and shame.

Each time I have journeyed through major changes I have reconnected with myself on a core level, rediscovering my purpose, leaning into energy work, calling on my guides, balancing my chakras, working with the law of attraction, chartering a new course through goal setting and grounding myself in my new reality.

I now help people to move through some of life's toughest transitions, acting like a soul guide, assisting them to make sense of the chaos, to find a way forward, to recalibrate and remember who they are.

“Claire was very empathetic and listened attentively. I felt like she held space for me to express what was needed and I left the session feeling more calm and less stressed than when we first started. Beyond the coaching session, the reduced stress level helped me approach my goal with more control and less anxiety.”

My story

My first major life transition occurred during my divorce. The relationship had not been a happy one and I had felt trapped and isolated living miles away from home, friends and family.

The marriage was very short and when I got the courage to leave I felt a new sense of freedom like I had finally got my life back and space to breath. But I was standing the rubble of my life, I had lost my home and my job was extremely difficult due to working with my ex husband so I had to take a secondment to another part of the country and I lost a lot of friends.

Some family members felt I had bought shame on the family and our relationship suffered. I had never felt so alone. Yet I was determined to rebuild my life in a new city and start again.

I was so scared but at the same time I had a feeling of excitement and freedom that I had never felt before. It was at this time that I discovered reiki. I did a spiritual development course, learned reiki, started having tarot readings, bought my first crystals and started meditating and connecting with my spirit guides.

Life opened up for me and a new path was being paved. That was such an important part of my life and it really made me who I am today. I stayed on that path over the following years and studied hypnotherapy, crystal healing, Indian head massage, anatomy and physiology, the bars, counselling skills and life coaching.

Over the years I became very attuned to energy to the point where I could feel geopathic stress, portals and spirit in a building if I tuned in. I also developed my intuition.

My journey took me through a few different relationships, house moves and the loss of a parent. These things were all life transitions on some level. I finally managed to save up a deposit for my own place and got on the property ladder at the age of 40. During that year I also met the love of my life. I felt like I had finally come home.

I had a very good career in the corporate world. I earned good money and was considered good at my job. I had never got the courage to go self employed with all that I had learned.

The universe had other plans for me however, and after a few events at work I found myself suffering from anxiety, having heart palpitations, sleepless nights, tension and finding it hard to breathe. I was signed off work for six weeks.

Those six weeks were the happiest I had felt for a long time. I knew I could never go back to that job and I could see how it was affecting my health.

I left and became a support worker for a little boy with cerebral palsy supporting him in a school setting. This was a massive change for me. Eventually I hurt my back and this sent me into a spiral as I didn't get sick pay and I was scared I would injure myself again.

Part of me missed the stress of corporate and the perceived security. So I left and took a role which was a huge step down from what I had been doing before with the hope that it would be less stressful.

The universe really didn't want me in this role and it was obvious early on that it wasn’t a good fit. I was determined to prove myself despite the familiar feelings of stress, anxiety and isolation. I tried so hard doing everything that was asked. I couldn't bear the thought of losing this job especially as it had been a bit step down for me. Ultimately I didn’t pass probation.

This was such a shock to me. I felt sick. Especially as I had felt so let down. Again I found myself looking at rubble - this time my career. Who was I now? I battled with low self esteem wondering if I was actually good at anything. Should I just give up?

I was only unemployed for two weeks. I then started working with my partner on a mushroom farm. Somehow I was fine for money. To my surprise I loved the farm. I loved the lack of politics, power trips and audits. The work was physically demanding and I really enjoyed the feeling of my body getting stronger. I loved how monotonous the work was – it allowed my mind to wander off and think about the future and make plans and help me decide what to do.

My partner and I had already started our property company – Boteggi Properties and Boteggi Rentals, finding properties for our company to rent out as serviced accommodation and finding serviced accommodation for investors. I knew it was time to start my coaching and therapies business. I was no longer held down by a corporate career and I had got used to enjoying life on a much more conservative salary.

I wanted to do something different to the standard coaching. I also wanted to pull on my past experiences and help people through major life transitions. I felt that combining deep energetic work alongside coaching would create profound insight and change in a persons life.

This is exactly what I did when I was going though my divorce. I worked with spirit guides. crystals, meditation, goal setting and the law of attraction and this created the perfect blueprint for deep healing and transformation and helped me see the path I was meant to be walking.

I always wanted to run a marathon but realised my body didn't like running more than 10 miles so I completed trek26 – a walking marathon over Dartmoor. This was an amazing experience but my feet were blistered for about a week!
I'm from South London and property prices were sky high. It took me two years to save up a deposit and I had to relocate to East Grinstead to become a property owner.
When I moved into my flat I knew it was haunted. I called in a specialist who cleared the ghosts and the energy and she did a love spell. Twelve weeks later I met my partner.
I totally believe in past lives. I have a feeling that I have had past lives where I have been a witch, a healer, a priestess, a herbologist and also a solider.
