Healthier Mind, Body & Spirit
Embrace the uniqueness of your mind to discover a natural path to happiness, wellbeing and vitality.
I am passionate about what I do. I offer individualised care which incorporates my experience, my skills and my knowledge accumulated from over 30 years of practising with a broad range of clients. Chiropractic Care, Cranio-Sacral Therapy and Therapeutic Yoga can all make significant contributions to your health and vitality.
The care that I offer is suitable for all ages including pregnant women.
Chiropractic
Chiropractic is a natural and whole-body approach to healing which accepts 'the power that makes the body heals the body'. It is often a solution for issues that aren’t necessarily close to your spine.
Yoga
Yoga has been practised over thousands of years. Practising Yoga has many physical and mental benefits helping you gain and maintain a healthier body, mind, and spirit and a sane approach to life!
Cranio-Sacral Therapy
Cranio-Sacral Therapy or CST is a gentle, yet very powerful holistic approach involving a light touch to help release tension and with it, bring awareness to the body and mind.
Opening 2021
There are still places in our countryside where you can fully connect with your environment and feel the natural order of things. The quality and potency of these places depend on the ‘organising principle’ at play, whether that be mother nature or ‘gardeners of the planet’ operating from a symbiotic perspective (e.g. Biophilia, natural law and permaculture). We are growing such a place and we call it the Be-ing Retreat.
The Place
By a brook on the side of an oak woodland hillside in the Devon countryside, The Being retreat is sited on a developing 3-acre smallholding where biophilia comes first. We are practising a form of “field and forest gardening” where Biodiversity, healthy food production and a nurturing environment for people are the focus of this project. The sense of seclusion and connection with nature here allows you the time and space to consume, learn and understand some essential life skills required for surviving and thriving in a challenging 21st Century.
The Experience
Our aim is to develop personal growth and to be focused on changes you can make to help establish and strengthen the pathways of positive change.
We explore solutions to empower healthy living and natural healing, dietary and behavioural skills, ecological techniques, and the crafts required for sustainable human development.
Activities & Courses
From mindfulness to yoga, from fasting to healing bodywork and from eco-land husbandry to craft skills, we are creating the conditions and environment where you can learn these skills.
These courses and activities will be led by selected teachers all excellent in their disciplines.
Kind Affirmations
“Just before lockdown I suffered a severe injury to my knee, I was in so much pain that I couldn’t leave the house for 8 weeks. My GP would only talk to me on the phone and offered me painkillers, I felt very alone. Luckily I had Claire to turn to, who initially advised me about an anti-inflammatory diet. I immediately saw improvement in my knee and gradually started walking and building up my daily steps. Eventually I was given an x-ray, which my GP informed me, showed that I had severe arthritis - the knee of an 85 year old! and my only hope was a knee replacement.
When Claire was able to see clients again she assured me that I had plenty of movement in my knee and certainly didn’t need a knee replacement. Claire suggested a water fast. This seemed very drastic to me, but as I was desperate I decided that I had nothing to lose and would give it a go.
I cannot say that the fast was a pleasant experience and I was taking a leap of faith. However, the results have been simply amazing and are ongoing. My knee is hardly painful at all and I am back walking my dog and doing my 10,000 steps a day. I am almost back to my proper weight and have so far lost 3 inches off my waistline! My skin is glowing. I have so much more energy. I feel the clock has gone back 10 years and my body is working the way it should again! I am now juicing, making my own soda bread and have cut out processed foods. Friends are telling me that I look amazing and I feel it. I will definitely be doing twice yearly fasts from now on.
I cannot recommend Claire highly enough, I have so much to thank her for, she is my inspiration and a true healer.”

“I have been attending Claire’s yoga classes for several years now and can really feel the all-round benefits. Strength, stretching, flexibility, balance and breathing techniques are improving; focusing on mindfulness has helped me with relaxation and to take a holistic approach to mind and body.”

“Claire is very experienced in all aspects of her work, both as a chiropractor and yoga instructor, and I hope to continue to receive the benefits of her expertise for many years to come. I’m extremely grateful to her – I only wish I’d met her much sooner.”

“Claire’s teaching/leading of Yoga exercises is both inspirational and challenging. Her natural warm and understanding manner is a real encouragement to all who attend her classes and, in particular, those who are beginners/learners in the discipline.”
