PRACTICING & CREATING FROM THE HEART
Hello! I’m so glad you’re here…
I’m Claire, an experienced yoga therapist and jewellery artist with a passion for individuality and inclusivity.
Over the past seventeen years, I’ve been so lucky to have gotten to know and work with many wonderful and unique people, both Neurodiverse and Neurotypical. They have inspired me to realise that my goal in life is to guide people to love and celebrate what is unique and special about each of us. I hope that the yoga I share and the jewellery I create embodies a celebration of difference and brings joy and love to those who practice with me and wear what I make.
To learn more about my inclusive yoga classes or one to one sessions or to enquire about a custom piece of jewellery, please reach out! I’d love to hear from you.
About My Jewellery
I started making beaded jewellery when I was a teenager, after stumbling onto a very cool bead shop on Magazine Street in New Orleans. I made everyone I knew slightly kinked and scratchy necklaces in the ‘floating bead’ style and then stepped away from the craft for about twenty years.
When my youngest child got interested in crystals, I took her to the London Rock and Gem show where I fell, headlong, back into beading. Since then, I’ve expanded my medium and have completed a Diploma in Silversmithing, am working towards a Diploma in Fine Jewellery and have had the privilege of learning from many skilled teachers in the UK.
My jewellery is made of recycled silver and gold and ethically sourced stones. It is a celebration of individuality and imperfection with each piece made from scratch and no two pieces exactly alike. Like people, each piece has its own special and distinguishing characteristics.
Get in touch if you want to celebrate yourself or someone you love with a bespoke piece. I bring the energy and the story of the unique individual into the process of each piece I make, crafting something special and different for everyone I make for and working to ensure that I am designing and creating a piece that they will want to wear forever. I would love to make a joyful piece for you!
Finally, eventually, my goal is to turn this small business into a social enterprise which supports people with disabilities into work through creativity and development of life and work skills. Every purchase you make helps me to move closer to making this long time dream a reality.

About my Yoga
I share accessible Hatha yoga with a focus on breath, movement, and embodied awareness. My one to one sessions and group classes are non-judgemental and friendly and can be adapted to meet the needs of anyone.
I am a qualified yoga therapist, having completed a two year training through Yogacampus in London. As a yoga therapist, I work with clients in one to one or group settings and use a holistic approach based in yoga theory to support and guide healing.
I am also trained in Special Yoga methodology, through which I support clients who are Neurodiverse and/or have physical limitations. My clients include adults with profound and multiple learning disabilities, Cerebral Palsy, Autism and Downs Syndrome. I can adapt the yoga practice to meet the needs of each person or group, through a supportive and heart centred approach.
