Claire has been practicing bodywork since completing her massage and yoga teacher studies in 2012 in Tempe, AZ. After 12 years of life in the desert near the Mexican border in Tucson, AZ, she relocated to North Carolina in 2022 with her son and small dog. She holds a BA in Spanish, a Master’s in Secondary Education, and a deep love of teaching and learning.

Over the 15 years of her professional development as a bodyworker, Claire has completed various trainings in massage modalities and paths of study of the body, health practices, and the outcomes these practices have on our lives. Her continuing education has included coursework in biodynamic craniosacral therapy , myofascial work, myotherapy, biomechanics, cadaver labs, postpartum doula care, abdominal therapy support for women, whole foods nutrition and herbalism.

Some of her major teaching influences include Tom Myers’ Anatomy Trains, James Waslaski’s orthopedic massage, and both Roger Gilchrist and Heidi Wilson’s Biodynamic Craniosacral work based in Tucson, AZ. After completing certification through Heidi’s program, Claire served as a teaching assistant for craniosacral workshops for several years.

After sustaining a torn ACL and reparative surgery in 2019, Claire took a special interest in injury rehabilitation via massage and movement. Her past experience as a yoga teacher, particularly for pregnant women, moms, and toddlers, gave her a foundation to move into more specific physical therapy and natural movement veins of proximal study. She enjoys exploring options with clients for movement and lifestyle adaptations that improve quality of life.

She endeavors to embrace slower-paced life of homeschooling and homemaking with her teenage son and dog, where reading, strolling, singing, and enjoying God’s good gifts are practices that shape the rhythms of their days.
