About
Claire trained as a classical ballet dancer and through injury and a pause in dance, she discovered the ancient practices of meditation, tai chi and yoga in the early ‘90s. She met Jo Brown a Shiatsu practitioner from the East West Centre and learned Shiatsu at an adult education centre. She also studied Massage and Reflexology but was drawn back to Shiatsu because of the practicality of it being received through clothing.
Claire became a yoga teacher in London as well as performing with a yoga theatre company named ‘Tripsichore’.
In the early ‘2000s Claire decided to train as a Shiatsu therapist with the London College of Shiatsu. Fantastic teachers that made learning a joy. She still remembers the moment Veronica held her lumbar vertebrae and released 10 years of habitual tension where the muscles had been holding on due to a compressed spine!
