Facilitator & Coach
"It's never too late to be what you might have been."
George Eliot
Claire O’Connor
knows the cure to the “pathological individualism” rampant in our culture is to let others in on your dreams
and to surround yourself with the right tribe and she wants to spread the word. With the "right tribe", we
can help grow each other into our next-biggest, best selves.
Fueled by the joy of seeing people engaged with their lives in the
spirit of possibility and celebration, Claire shares her gifts -- as a natural connnector with a way
of drawing people together -- and as a healing, compassionate presence which evokes authenticity in those with whom
she works.
A
delightfully down-to-earth, warm and engaging coach and workshop leader, Claire O’Connor connects with a bright,
open energy which invites people to feel safe and at home no matter the setting. Clients and workshop participants feel
at ease and inspired at the same time.
As an experienced, intuitive facilitator, Claire has the ability to light-heartedly yet masterfully
focus group energy, while staying tuned in to each person. Her background includes a degree in Holistic
Human Development and Counseling Psychology and over 20 years’ experience as a group facilitator for various
groups, teams and guilds whose membership has included women-in-transition, women entrepreneurs, new empty-nesters, career-changers,
healing arts practitioners, environmental educators, middle-schoolers and college freshmen. Claire is in a two-year Apprenticeship Program at the Hendricks Institute for Conscious Living. She is a Certified Conscious Relationship and Body-Mind Vibrance Coach.

Claire says...
 "My own idea of an enchanted life is when everyday feels like being a kid on summer vacation. I love that I
get to wake up every morning to the adventure of life, that I get to express my creativity in so many different ways - and
make a living doing it, and that I get to share it all with other amazing people who are on a similar path.
Add to that, for me heaven-on-earth is puttering and loving with my sweetest-kindest man Ken Plattner at our cozy adobe abode "Encantada a Casa", in gorgeous Tucson, Arizona. You can usually find us expressing
our creativity in the yard with plants and stone. Or traveling to distant lands in search of the most beautiful stone
walls. Or lolling about in and around the pool, savoring a glass of wine over yummy food and great conversation with
friends, our darling chocolate lab, Roxy, sprawling underfoot. (See photo below).
Come join me! Let's play our way in to our 'enchanted
lives'."
