Brought me home to myself...
Claire, I so enjoyed my sessions with you over the last 3 months. You created a spacious container for me to have all my experiences -- feelings, thoughts sensations, contractions, expansions -- that always brought me home to my self feeling full and rich in all things. I moved from my sense of creative dormancy to vibrant flow. Your perspectives and offerings of yourself in the moment were excellent guides for unexpected views on the dilemma of the moment, allowing them to melt into resolution and clarity. My deepest appreciation to you and for you.

What I loved most about Claire's teaching style is her gracious and authentic manner. It invites the participants to relax and be at ease with sharing. She models transparent communication, on the calls, in her writing, and on the community web board. Her deep compassion and humor infuses her words! Claire is transparent and sincere! She is funny and fun! Cassie S. Seattle, WA Jolt of joy...
Claire! I always feel a jolt of joy when in contact with you in any form. You are an Engaging Connector. An Inviting Reacher-Outer. A Sweet and Sensuous Aliveness Flyer. A Joy Igniter. An Infectious Creator.

I wanted to let you know HOW MUCH I ENJOYED YOUR COURSE. Your natural self illuminates the airwaves making taking an e-course with you a fun, rewarding, easy and delightful experience for me.
My favorite part is how you've woven together many elements into the curriculum through a steadily unfolding process, which I love. You organized the container in a magical way. I found that the guided meditations were profound. The pacing of your voice along with rich visualizations and imagery made for a perfect pairing. J.S. Seattle, WA Rocked my world...
What I love most about Claire's teaching style is her wise vulnerability and fearless leaping into the void.
What I loved the most about this course was that it got my attention about my core beliefs. It rocked my world, going through to the core and freeing me to be myself more thoughtfully and actively. Gail D. Boulder, CO I am loving every single second of this course...Claire is an incredible teacher, which is, I’m beginning to realize, no small feat to transfer to the online environment. She uses interactive, experiential approaches I haven’t seen before, the 'classroom' environment is full of lovely, supportive women, Claire is extremely hands-on and helpful with feedback, and the learning themes are not only SO INTERESTING, but also are making a HUGE difference for me in my life in so many ways! I am loving every single second of this course so far.
Jennifer Machado Litchfield, CT A profound impact on me...
Claire, when you speak, it sounds like it is coming right from your heart and the whole universe lights up. You have a beautiful delivery and being on the calls has had a profound effect on me. I feel truly blessed!
Sending Love, Light and Gratitude! Cindy McKee Annandale, NJ Delightful possibility...
In every encounter with Claire, I take away a feeling of possibility — and a big shift in the way I approach things.
Claire just has a perspective of delightful possibility and openness and she brings that to everything she does, and that perspective bubbles out, washes over and infects (in a good way) everyone around her. When you see a photos of her, you'll see she's almost always smiling. And that's her. That is genuine Claire. Open, always looking for delight and ease, and by her example and experience, she gently nudges those of us around her to try that very same way of being on for size. Deb Cooperman Chatham, NJ Transformative and playful...
What I got from working with Claire was I learned to consciously MOVE! if I feel stuck or blocked. Just move a little! Swing my arms, my hips, my head — do a little dance! This seems so ridiculously simple, but it has been transformative.
I've learned to recognize when I start pulling my ‘ceiling’ down. And why not make it easy? Remarkable what a difference that makes! Claire helps me examine myself, my goals and 'perceived' obstacles without worry or judgment. Just looking to see what's there and how to arrange the pieces in a fun, pretty way -- like a collage or quilt or painting! I learned that I’m a work of art, not a construction project!! Whoo-hooo! I've loved the inspirations I've had working with you, the shifts i've experienced via your guidance and encouragement -- and I'm filled with excited anticipation for the nest tie we play together! Kathleen Reynolds Emmaus, PA Contagious love...There is an unbridled enthusiasm, lightness of touch, and great love that is evident in your approach that I find contagious.
Sheila Patterson Glasgow, Scotland A true sense of belonging...
What I loved most about the course were the discussions with a great group of people and just the joy of finding a place where I actually fit in and felt so secure.
Veronica T. Los Angeles, CA Nourishes my spirit...
I am on this journey to learn, and Claire has been a soulful, loving teacher and guide. I've participated in several of her programs.
It’s hard to put Claire into a few words, but she is like a soft, whispering hum filling a room and tickling and nourishing its spirit and everyone in it. Pam Chamberlain Stockton, NJ I've transformed my life...
My life has changed for the better in every aspect. She has inspired me to create a life that I love.
After taking classes with Claire, I feel that I can be by myself and love myself under all circumstances. I have learned to listen to my intuition and not be afraid of what it was telling me. I now have the ability to really slow down and feel my body to determine what I’m actually feeling as opposed to a knee-jerk reaction. Claire has an amazing ability to actually hear and feel what you are saying not just the words coming out of your mouth. Renee Sopko Milford, NJ Wholesome wellness...
Claire gently, really very lightly, inspires me with a bubbly, champagne-like wholesome wellness.
Celeste Vermette Ottawa, Canada Claire walks her talk...
Claire worked her magic in two areas: my home and my life. Her creativity gene is always buzzing and her energy is continuously positive. True genius appeared as she led mastermind groups filled with fabulous women. I was in her first group, and signed up for every one she had until she moved from NJ to AZ!
She's a gifted facilitator with a heart of gold and has walked her talk into the life she dreamed for herself, and continues to build it at home, with her wonderful partner and in her growing business. Ellen Ingraham Pittstown, NJ Navigating transition with ease and grace...
Claire, you've played a big part in me navigating these times of big transitions in my life with grace and ease -- I so appreciate you!
Vicky White British Columbia Inspiration to bring your fullest expression into the world...
You are inspiring many women to bring their fullest expression into the world. Standing ovation!!

True experiential knowing...
One thing that I am taking with me from this course is the idea of honoring my own pace, my 'me' time and my physical space. Freely allowing myself the time I want and need to take alone time is big, and realizing that it's okay and normal for ME to have habits that are different from everyone else's.
Claire always knows just what to say. And her loving nature encompasses every interaction she has with her students, be it a post on the forum, an email response, or an answer on one of the live calls. She loves and honors all of her students and always makes me feel at "home." I become instantly relaxed and at ease as soon as I hear her voice. She has such a wonderful mix of laughter, joy and empathy, as well as true experiential knowledge of what she's teaching us. She never hesitates with her answers to questions and her answers are always spot-on. Stephanie B. Boston, MA More joyful, inspired and peaceful...
"I LOVE PLAYING WITH YOU, Claire! You are a beautiful example of someone who lives life heart first, mind second. You ARE the space to explore, play, expand, love. Big kisses to you, XXXXXX!"
Because of the Claire's course, I am more open, more peaceful, more joyful and loving than I was a few months ago. Yes, I appreciate my commitment to fulfilling my whole self and my courage and willingness to explore, but I also deeply appreciate the playmates and Claire's sweet, loving, expanding facilitating skills. She created a safe container to learn and grow, a safe place to BE whatever and whoever, whenever! As I glided through the weekend, loving whatever and whoever arose, finding the sacred in the simplest of tasks, I had the sense that life could be just this simple and divine. And on a grander scale, I made a major shift. For years -- all my life really -- I have mostly believed my survival, happiness, well-being depended upon others -- mainly my father, then my husband. (A co-dependent junkie !) The source was always someone else. Since this course, I'm finally believing that I am, in concert with the one who created and sent me, the source. It's still a learning edge -- fully switching my belief from people to the universe/God -- but somehow it feels right. I'm happier. More inspired. Feeling courageous. After all. If I'm strong enough to endure the pressure of dependency, I'm surely strong enough to join forces with love. So thank you Claire, everyone! This was a fun journey! I'm looking forward to more. Claire, you are just the gentlest, sweetest, most dedicated, passionate and loving teacher a seeker could find! And like Bruce Springsteen, I do believe, based upon my repeated experience, that YOU believe, "Always give 'em more than they expect." Others call it the WOW Factor. I call it CLAIRE. Beaming love and appreciation for us all, Linda W. Hilton Head, SC I've learned to trust more & have fun...
Working with Claire has had quite an impact on my life. She showed me how to be more free-spirited and daring; to be more organic in my approach to life, to art, to my home, letting one thing lead to the next, trusting and having FUN with it. What I've learned is to relax into the process and let each step guide me. It's one of the best lessons I've had in a long time.
I especially value your courses for the connection with community, accountability, tangible results, lessons, affirmation, creativity, integration with former classes... and great leadership. Michelle Hess Mount Horeb, WI Safety, ease and discovery...
Claire is all about freeing the joy and creativity. I feel safe and real with her, and like she gets me! After working with her, I always feel more like me!
She’s like a life whisperer. Claire has a wonderful way of reframing a situation, thought or "problem", which takes me to a place where I can move through it. Working with Claire is like unwrapping a present. The process is where the joy is. Each layer becomes more of a joyful discovery. Lots of ooh-ing and ahhh-ing and admiring of the paper and bow and all the layers. Ginny Blasi Belmar, NJ Dreams possible, opportunities already emerging...
The most impactful part of the course I just finished with Claire was that I realized that my dreams really can come true. My intention and belief has already gotten the ball rolling.
Thanks to what I've learned, I'm confidently stepping forward to explore the possibilities and enjoying the journey. Just me having the desire to be more of the artist that I already am, has created connections with other artists that seemed to have been waiting in the wings. They are inspiring me to go forward. Feeling great thankfulness and affection for you and your willingness to share and help us on our creative journey. Marla Stefanelli Denver, CO Remembering myself deeply...Exploring with Claire, I felt like I was remembering myself in a really deep, easy way for the first time and it also felt like being reminded of thousands-of-years-old wisdom and things that I've always felt were true, yet synthesized in a new way.
Jenny Botman London, England Strong bonds...
Claire is great at getting you to see "what can be" if your self-imposed limitations are eliminated.
Through our group, I was able to elevate my business and my life to another level. The bonds formed with members of my group are still strong today, seven years later. Maria Semple Bridgewater, NJ Collaborative support...
The biggest benefit I got from working with Claire was a deeper understanding of how my mind and body are connected and the deep "knowing" that my body possesses. I relished the genuine, extremely positive energy and support for all of my endeavors, dreams and passions.
What I love is that I feel kindred with her and she approaches our time together with a spirit of learning and collaborating together. I feel for the first time absolutely supported on all fronts as I get as I transform my life. Claire is a genuine, deeply positive and supportive person that enjoys life fully and wants to help others enjoy it as much as possible as well. She radiates a healing and loving energy that is infectious and refreshing. She's an inspiration to work with. Katie Haverly Tucson, AZ Enlightening and awesome...
I've benefited so much from Claire's enlightening classes and conference calls. She has the most awesome online community. I've learned so much in her virtual workshops and I've met wonderful like-minded creative souls. It's helping me (and my business) grow!
Theresa Mertens Tucson, AZ I now feel precious to myself...I feel awash in love and appreciation for myself in ways I've always longed for but I didn't know how to get there before learning how to predictably create that stream in Claire's classes. I am forever grateful.
My life feels so new and precious. I feel precious to myself, and that is a huge difference. Her invitation to play marked a turning point in my life. Kelly Ann Hitchens Conshohocken, PA Connection joyride...
Working with Claire has been a joyride through insight, kindness, intuitiveness, humor, and true connection.
Carolyn Freeman Tucson, AZ I feel more alive...The things I learned with Claire were a full-body experience beyond any words or theories I could wrap my brain around.
Exploring with her -- and within this delicious community of kindred spirits -- has supported me in expanding into more of who I feel I really am at my core. I feel freer and so much less gripped by all the 'stuff' that I was allowing to capture my attention before. I feel so much more alive, with lots of energy as I fill my life with exactly the ingredients I most love. Rose Kowalski Asheville, NC Tools to create your dream life...
As a coach, trainer & facilitator myself, my bar is set pretty high. Claire doesn't disappoint.
She is expert at providing insight, encouragement and tools for participants to set goals and achieve them. And she does this through well-planned and thoughtfully-developed programs and through using a seeming unending variety of tools, strategies and techniques. I have made referrals to Claire's programs and teleseminars in the past and will continue to do so!! Anyone interested in exploring their possibilities and potential or anyone interested in creating their dream life should seriously consider working with Claire! Carol Camerino Raritan, NJ Powerful virtual presence...
Claire, you did an awesome job on the call! Your ability to invoke an atmosphere for the meeting and set an intention both at the beginning and end of the call makes your virtual presence very powerful. I notice your genius skill in this area. Your pacing for exercises is just right, not too fast or too slow.
When you lead a guided visualization you give the participants clear prompts to follow. This is very helpful for me. I also love your use of movement during the meeting. I'm so glad you held this call. The techniques you covered were terrific! Thanks for sharing your information so generously. I look forward to the day when I take another class from you. I am learning so much having you as a facilitator. Jenny Trautman Atlanta, GA I have a lot more love for myself...Claire, I just want to let you know that your courses have really helped me through a huge transition in my life and also are helping me to start fresh with a lot more love for myself and some new tools to help me spend more and more time in my sweet spot.
