In the beginning

I'm Claire and I'm happy to meet you. I will be sharing life coaching tips as well as delving into more esoteric topics such as chakras, spirit guides, energy clearing and grounding exercises. I will explain how to utilise these things to help remove blocks and draw on these amazing resources to find inspiration and motivation and start to create a more happy and positive life.

A bit about me to start with. I grew up in suburban south London with my parents and younger brother. From a young age I had an interest in 'ghosts' and always had a feeling that there was something more than this life. I remember saying at the age of about five ‘none of this is real and there is a part of me that is somewhere else’. Maybe it was the mad ramblings of five year old me, but I like to think I was onto something back then.

I always had a sense that I was a bit psychic and was a bit obsessed that our house was haunted. However, that aside I was a normal but quiet child. After a childhood in the 1990s listening to a lot of Oasis and Blur (on cassette!) and reading Smash Hits, Sugar, Bliss etc, I eventually left school and ventured into an array of different occupations. During this time I forgot about my obsession with ghosts and being psychic, and became interested in other spirits such as vodka with coke along with nights out clubbing with my friends.

Fast forward quite a few years to when I got divorced (this is obviously quite a big fast forward here but it cuts a long story short) and I had moved from Southampton to a house share in Norwich. It was here that I stayed a while and healed the broken parts of me. The city felt like a nurturing space for me to rediscover who I was. Fun, friends, laughter, drinking and dancing had come back into my life. Little by little I became me again and slowly but surely I got my smile back. I learned Reiki and also attended a spiritual development course which taught me how to connect with my spirit guides. I was really happy in Norwich and I look back fondly at that time. I'm so grateful for the personal and spiritual development I experienced there.

Alas I ended up back in suburban south London after my divorce was finalised as I was let’s just say less affluent than I expected at this juncture in my life. I had decided I needed to move back so I asked the universe if I could get a job closer to my home town. I visualised getting a call about a job and even wrote down specifics about the job. I hadn't actually started looking when I got a call from a recruiter ‘I’ve just come across your CV and this is a bit random but would you consider relocating for the right role’.....and obviously the job was a 20 minute drive from my parent’s house, the company had a swimming pool and it was within £500 of the money I wanted. And yes, I got the job.

The job turned out to be a ‘stuck to the carpet with treacle’ kind of a job. From the minute I walked in I had tried everything to leave. I did even leave once but I ended up back there again!

In my quest to leave I studied everything from hypnotherapy to counselling. Meanwhile, I did actually find myself in a haunted house share in Redhill and ended up experiencing a house clearing and ‘feeling’ the spirits leave and go home. I attended many workshops and meditation classes which enhanced my interest in such topics.

I used the law of attraction and coaching techniques to manifest my flat in East Grinstead. I wrote down what I wanted and used a vision board and my flat matched what I had written down. Again the universe put me in a haunted property but this time with geo-pathic stress. I had the flat and surrounding area cleared. It was built on the site of an asylum – had I known this I wouldn't even have viewed the flat! This experience taught me about energy clearing and I was fascinated. Plus I could now sleep in the flat without being terrified of the resident ghost waking me up.

I have had such amazing experiences over the years, way too many to mention here. They always make me laugh. For example, in the haunted house share I had a ghost that would walk round my room and make so much noise every time I started to do a hypnotherapy recording. In the end I said please can you be quiet while I make this recording and it stopped.

I think coaching is the perfect way to bring all these different modalities and life experiences together to help people move through changes in life or work out they want from life and start to move towards that reality.

In this blog I would like to share with you the energy practices I have learned and used over the years which have helped me to manifest things I have desired and how I have used coaching techniques to achieve things I wanted.

I would love for you to join me on this incredible journey.
