About Claire

I'm a trauma-informed teacher, trainer and therapist working professionally within the fields of therapeutic Bodywork, Embodied Movement, Yoga and Creativity since 1997.

​

Studying with world renowned teachers and wisdom carriers here in Ireland and worldwide I have over 25 years of teaching experience, and 13 years as a Yoga Therapist. I was recognised by the IYN as a Yoga Elder and have just completed an Masters in Art Therapy with MTU.

​

Based in the wilds of South West Ireland, I am also a mother, artist, writer and gardener, and love to hang out with my dog and wander the lane-ways, beaches and hillsides of the nourishing and inspiring landscape of West Cork.​

I offer clients and students:​

• The opportunity to move towards a more empowered, engaged and present experience of life, through embodiment, self enquiry, expression, movement and stillness .

• Practical tools and experiences to bring you home to yourself: to your body, to your life, to each moment .... to connect more deeply and vibrantly with the world, and to spirit.

Amerta Movement

One-to-one sessions, classes and workshops.

Indoors or outdoors in the landscape.

Exploring the possibilities of your own unique way of moving, our way of expressing and communicating and opening to fully experiencing life.

• developing personal awareness

• explore interpersonal dynamics and relationship.

• connect with your environment, either indoors or in nature.

This work supports you to connect with your body, to become more alive and present in each moment, to notice patterns and behaviours that play out in your daily life, to support your own unique expression and vitality. My role is to guide and support you to blossom into your full and essential nature.

One-To-One Therapy

For anyone ready to commit to deepening their journey towards health and wholeness.

​Personal therapy sessions are based on whatever the client feels they need to support their journey to well being: Yoga therapy, movement, meditation, yoga nidra, breathing practices, lifestyle skills and self enquiry.

​

As a fully trained and experienced Yoga Therapist, I offer tools for healing and empowerment for small groups or individuals wishing to work with specific health conditions or life changes and challenges. This is a space for healing, learning life skills, acceptance, compassion and transformation.

I meet you where you are at, adapting for people with mobility issues, disabilities or chronic illness, whatever your age, size, fitness or energy level.

One-to-one therapy offers personal transformation and management of a wide range of health conditions. I have worked as a therpaist since 1997: my extensive tool kit of practical techniques enable me to support you on a deeply personal level.
