I’m a somatic psychotherapist and Master Integral Coach™ with a deep sensitivity to the inner landscapes of women’s becoming.
I come from a Mediterranean line of women who knew how to endure — women who held everything together through grit and fierce strength. Their resilience lives in me. Early on, I felt the pull to step outside the story I inherited and follow the deeper longing inside me — toward spirit, toward healing, toward a meaningful life.
So I took a wilder path — leaving my native Corsica early on, living across continents, weaving myself through many cultures to carve a life that felt true.
My life has been marked by thresholds — becoming a mother, losing identities, walking through love and loss, and finding myself changed on the other side. Each crossing has stripped something away, softened me, taught me to listen more deeply to what Life needed from me.
I’ve learned that what breaks us can also open us, that grief and grace often grow side by side. I know what it’s like to move in the dark — the quiet, stubborn faith it takes to trust that the dark has its own intelligence. And that, in its own timing, a glimmer will appear — just enough for the next step. The way knows the way.
Everything I share, I’ve learned from life itself. From raising children. From loving deeply. From sitting in not-knowing for longer than I thought I could bear, and walking through endings that stripped me naked to the core. Over time, I’ve come closer to a simple truth: the body is a doorway — the living terrain of soul where the invisible becomes palpable.
This is where life — our one, wild, precious life — lands as close as one’s own skin. Intimacy.
Within every woman runs a deep river of incorruptible essence — a sacred current no wound can erase. When we return to that river and let it carry us, we stop striving. What flows through us becomes grace — effortless, radiant, born of belonging. We give from fullness, not to prove our worth, but as a quiet offering to the greater Life moving through us.
My work is devoted to guiding women back to this river — to live, love, and lead from the wholeness that has always been theirs.
Rooted in decades of practice across body, psyche, and spirit, this work is a path of remembrance and becoming — where the feminine reclaims her place in creation, and the sacred moves once more through the human heart.
My work is devoted to guiding women back to this river— so they can live, love, and lead from the wholeness they already are.
Today I live once again on the island where I began — Corsica, with its ancient oaks, wild medicinal plants, mountains and sea. This land keeps teaching me how to belong. Here, I offer in-person and online sessions and retreats for women who feel the tug to come home to themselves — to remember the pulse of aliveness inside them, and to share their own medicine with the world.
I stand on the shoulders of giants. Among the teachers and lineages I’ve walked with, I feel most at home in the living current of Unique Self and CosmoErotic Humanism, received through years of study and friendship with my teacher, Dr. Marc Gafni, whose transmission nourishes the river that runs through my work.
I am also deeply grateful for the guidance and teachings of
Sri Aurobindo & Mira Alfassa · Dōgen · Ken Wilber · Sally Kempton · Genpo Roshi · Laura Divine · Joanne Hunt · Wilhelm Reich · John Pierrakos · Suzanne Anderson.
“With clarity and deep compassion, Claire helped me access my deepest heart’s desires and to realize new concrete projects deeply aligned with my values. In addition, through engaging in new practices, I was able to develop new behaviors in my personal and professional life that allowed these new projects to be sustainable”.
