Hi, I’m Claudia…
and I’m passionate about helping women to live their best lives. It is my belief that we can heal our past to create a life we love and that the power to do this is in the present moment.
My aim is to inspire and empower you to take your personal growth to the next level so you can begin living a life you love.
Through my Reiki courses, healing therapies, Trauma-Informed Mindfulness & Somatic Healing and Brainspotting approach, I guide you through gentle yet powerful processes to help re-connect you with your authentic self and support you in aligning your outer reality with your true inner nature.
From my 25+ years in the field of natural health, I bring together a vast array of modalities to support you wherever you are in your personal development, health and wellbeing journey.
For me, seeing you taking bold steps toward living the life you truly love is the ultimate reward.
A little about me
After founding ‘Bay Tree’, my own holistic health and yoga centre in the UK in 2001 and treating clients with natural, healing therapies for over five years, I packed my bags and headed East. I spent almost a decade in India and South East Asia exploring Eastern health traditions and spirituality. During those years, I had the opportunity to serve both as a wellness destination spa director and facilitator of yoga, ayurveda, detox and meditation retreats. In 2014, I returned to Europe, settled in Ibiza and founded The Wellness Source.
My Skills and Training
Fascinated by why people are the way they are, I studied psychology at university and graduated with a BSc (Hons) in 1996.
After travel adventures and some time out, I returned to the UK in 1999. Intrigued by Reiki healing, I found a Reiki Master from whom to learn this sacred healing art. I threw myself into this practice wholeheartedly as it felt like coming home. By 2000, I myself was practicing as a Reiki Master-Teacher and have been ever since.
Wishing to offer more healing support to my clients, I studied, Anatomy, Physiology and Massage, Aromatherapy, Sports Massage, Indian Head Massage, Reflexology, Thermo-Auricular Therapy, Australian Bush Flower Remedies and Aura-Soma Colour Therapy to name a few.
With my training in Flower Remedies, I was inspired to create a range of powerful, healing Flower Essences from the wildflowers of Ibiza and I use these in my healing practice today.
During my years in Asia, I studied yoga and pranayama (breath work) and became a qualified teacher of both. I sat 10 day silent mindfulness meditation retreats, known as Vipassana and this became the foundation of my meditation practice. I studied Ayurveda, nutrition, detoxification and supported numerous people through health transformations with this knowledge as a result.
In the last five years, I have trained as a Brainspotting Practitioner, Transformational Coach & EFT practitioner, spent two years training towards becoming a Mindfulness-Based Psychotherapist, attended countless trauma trainings, and am currently enrolled in a Master’s Level Somatic Trauma Informed Coaching and Leadership Training.
These trainings coupled with my personal journey of recovering from trauma (including narcissistic abuse) allows me to work deeply with my clients through a somatic and trauma-informed lens. I specialise in guiding women in their recovery journey from codependency and the trauma of narcissistic abuse.
I am a graduate member of the British Psychological Society.
