Language Coach Career Coach Shiatsu & Reflexology
I’ve learned that our personal and professional challenges are our true guides.
Challenges like self-doubt and the mental exhaustion we can experience, or that our loved ones or colleagues may go through, for personal and/or professional reasons.
And, in the depths of those aches and doubts, there is a little voice, an inspired brainwave, to go a truer way. And follow what gives us the goosebumps, those tiny joys of aliveness. We can also learn to be more assertive by placing healthier boundaries and working on our personal and professional development.
This is how I stretched myself from being an English language teacher for a leading university, to being a language coach for executives, a career coach, and reflexologist and shiatsu practitioner.
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 tap into 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.

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…

Claire’s BIO
A passion for transmitting knowledge and a thirst for personal and professional growth have been the golden threads throughout Claire’s life.
After completing her Business and Spanish degree in the UK and a teacher training course in France, she began her career at the deep end; as an Academic Manager for a language school in Paris, managing a team of teachers and administration staff.
She worked for a leading business school in Paris, co-managing a Bachelor of Business program, and did a Masters in Project and Program Management (her thesis was a toolkit for educational entities to better manage people and projects).
Claire returned to Brussels, where she had grown up and had savoured the delights of living in an international community.
She taught English for specific purposes (business communication, report writing, leadership skills) for the European Institutions and for private businesses and taught CV writing and interview skills for Solvay Business school.
She certified as a Coach and trained to become a Shiatsu practitioner.
Today, she combines her skills to boost her students’ confidence, be it in the realm of doing business in English, life and career coaching or relaxation and stress management.
