about claire buxton
Life Energy Coach & Shiatsu Therapist & Life-gym teacher
I’ve learned that the aches & pains of life are our true guides.
Aches, like losing loved ones and living life as a highly-sensitive person. Pains, like the sense of powerlessness while family members have suffered from chronic illness.
And, in the depths of those aches and pains, there has always been a little voice, a gentle nudge, to go a truer way. To follow what gave me goosebumps, those tiny joys of aliveness, towards my joie de vivre.
This is how I pivoted my career to coaching and shiatsu. It is how I transformed my high sensitivity into a source of strength.
It is how I can keep grounded by my family’s side.
I hope to help you find your joie de vivre while you navigate life too.
true self-love requires gentle daring...
Dare to listen to your little voice.
Dare to listen to the knots in your stomach.
Dare to look into the mirror and get help to be aware of the blind spots. And don’t be afraid.
They are your keys and they will change your life.
let’s find your sparkle…

Gym Re-Source
A few things that make me sparkle...
Dancing in the kitchen, it is total freedom…
Improvising on the piano…
My morning walks, running in the woods, cycling with my family…
Picking apples from our garden…
Going on a city-trip adventure with soul-mates or my family
Snuggling up with my soul mates for a coffee and cake, with belly laughter, tears of joy or sadness and hugs…
Live concerts…
Podcasts and books that make me think and laugh…
My man and our boy…. when he’s behaving (our son)
