Claire is the Wellness Resident and a yoga teacher at The Meetinghouse. With a background in anthropology and public policy, she brings a unique understanding of how personal history and broader systems influence health and wellness.
Claire discovered yoga over 25 years ago while working in a demanding environment. The practice became a transformative tool, helping her navigate stress and grow into leadership roles at a young age. This experience inspired her shift toward a career in wellness, where she’s spent over a decade as a holistic coach and instructor, teaching yoga, Pilates, and barre.
Committed to continual learning, Claire holds a 500-hour RYT, along with certifications in prenatal/postpartum yoga, yin yoga, barre, and Pilates. She completed health coach training through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, where she studied dietary theories, coaching techniques, and lifestyle management strategies. Claire designs supportive and creative classes and collaborates on wellness initiatives at The Meetinghouse.
Her mission is to help individuals connect with their inner wisdom and reframe wellness as something they inherently deserve, rather than something earned through external validation.
Claire holds a Master’s in Public Administration from Northeastern University and a Bachelor’s in Anthropology from the University of Vermont. She also studied abroad at the School for International Training in Ghana.
