CHILDREN AND FAMILIES
• Is your child struggling with health, learning or behavior challenges?
• Do you feel helpless and frustrated by available resources?
• Are you confused about what would work best?
• Do you want more support to clarify and take effective next steps?
You are an expert when it comes to your child – you know your child better than anyone else does. It’s also true that, as parents, we can feel so worried about our children in general, and extra-ordinary challenges can send us into terror. This is where I can help – to support you in becoming clear and confident in your ability to help your beloved child.
Our Work Together Will:
• Assess your current family situation
• Identify the desired changes
• Clarify what’s working and what resources are already in place
• Create a personal roadmap, including new support and resources
• Identify and address and obstacles along the way
• Support your family’s next steps in wellness
During my childhood and early adult years, I was extremely ill, with allergies, emotional imbalances, and auto-immune disorders. I learned as an adult how to release the past, trust myself, and deal with negativity and fear in a healthy way. It’s amazing how simple and clear life becomes when we are not driven by fear and doubt. I also learned how to eat foods that nourished my body, and avoid foods and other toxins that were detrimental to my health. In this way, I was able to parent my own children effectively and confidently.
In addition to my education and experience in Wellness and Nutrition, I have a B.Sc. in Child Development, held K-12 teaching credentials for many years, and did graduate work in the field of Preschool Special Education. I have worked extensively with children and families in various educational and therapeutic settings for over 30 years. Prior to creating a private practice, I worked in North Carolina to improve the quality of childcare, including nutrition, for children birth-five in licensed programs, and facilitated parent-child enrichment programs.
Gratefully, I have 2 grown daughters, and 1 awesome grandson (who has an awesome dad), who gift me with the honorable title of “Mom” and “Gram”. They are my greatest teachers in the art of well-being – allowing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual balance.
My own health challenges, as well as my educational background and work experience, fuel my passion for supporting the wellness needs of all children, especially those with health, behavior and learning challenges. And when you as parents receive support for your own self-care and well-being, everybody wins! By providing whole foods for your family, and addressing the mental-emotional aspects inherent in any health challenge, you can create effective, sustainable change.
“Cole, age 11, was struggling in school, and at home. It was difficult for him to focus, and he was very discouraged. He had challenges with his homework each evening, and became easily frustrated. He seemed weighed down, and unsettled. Claire offered some possibilities, and we came up with a plan and implemented it. Several weeks later, it was like a lightbulb went on! Cole is now finishing his homework more easily, and we see a big shift in his outlook in general. We are very pleased to have a happy, more animated and smiling child! Thank you, Claire, for your support.” – M.M., South Carolina
“Claire helped me as a parent to accept my son and his physical symptoms in a way that allowed me to be easy on myself and him. She helped me believe that healing was possible, which allowed me to make an emotional shift – this was a turning point in my own healing, as well as my son’s healing. Claire meets people where they are, in a comforting and empowering way.” – P.L., North Carolina
