About Claire
Former Corporate Leader. Coach for High-Achieving Women Ready to Stop Operating on Guilt and Pressure.
Hi, I’m Claire.
I’m a former corporate leader and certified coach who works with high-achieving professional women who look successful on the outside but internally feel stretched, reactive or constantly carrying too much.
Through my work, I help women recalibrate how they think, regulate and lead so their success becomes sustainable, without operating on guilt, pressure or pressure.
My Background
Before becoming a coach, I spent more than two decades working in demanding corporate environments across Australia and New York.
I held senior leadership roles where performance, responsibility and results were the expectation.
Like many high-achievers, I became known as the person who could handle everything.
The one who took on more.
The one who kept things moving.
The one who always delivered.
From the outside, it looked like success.
But internally, the fuel source was different.
Drive.
Pressure.
Fear.
And over time, that approach came with a cost.
The Moment Everything Shifted
For years I believed the solution was simply to manage the pressure better.
Be more organised.
Work harder.
Push through.
But the real turning point came when I learn’t something deceptively simple:
Our thoughts create our feelings, which drive our actions and results.
Until that moment, I had been trying to manage my experience of life externally.
But the real drivers were internal, the patterns, beliefs and expectations shaping how I showed up.
Once I began uncovering and shifting those patterns, everything changed.
I didn’t need to lower my ambition.
Instead I needed to change how I operated inside it.
Why I Do This Work
Through my own experience and through coaching many women since, I’ve seen how common this pattern is among high-achieving professionals.
Women who are capable, respected and responsible.
But quietly operating under relentless internal pressure.
Success built on guilt, urgency and adrenaline eventually creates:
Constant mental load
Emotional reactivity
Decision fatigue
Erosion of energy and clarity
The problem isn’t capability.
It’s that most high performers have never been taught how to manage the internal systems driving their thinking, emotions and behaviour.
That’s the work I do today.
The Work I Do Now
Today I help high-achieving professional women recalibrate how they think, regulate and lead so their energy, identity and performance remain intact, even when life is demanding.
This work happens through my signature program:
The Reset Method
A structured process that integrates:
Nervous system regulation
Cognitive recalibration
Practical systems that support sustainable high performance
The result isn’t just feeling better.
It’s operating with clarity, steadiness and control in environments that previously felt overwhelming.
Experience That Shaped My Work
My approach has been shaped not only by my corporate career, but by navigating significant personal challenges while continuing to lead and work.
These included:
Becoming a single mother
Navigating separation and legal processes
Continuing demanding corporate roles
Being diagnosed and then getting through stage 3 cancer
Those experiences reinforced something I now teach every client:
Resilience isn’t about pushing harder.
It’s about building the internal systems that allow you to stay grounded, clear and capable, even when life becomes difficult.
What I Believe
You don’t need to burn out before you decide to change how you operate.
You don’t need to leave your career, or lower your ambition in order to protect your wellbeing.
And you don’t need to wait for a crisis before you start building the internal systems that support you.
High performance and wellbeing are not opposites.
When the internal foundations are right, they strengthen each other.
If This Sounds Like You
If you’re a high-achieving woman who feels like you’re carrying too much, reacting more than you’d like, or constantly pushing through on empty…
There is another way to operate.

“If you are on the fence, my advice, just do it!
It is not everyday that you find someone with such a rich commercial business background who is also a life coach!
Working with Claire I was able to see what was getting in my way, and she supported me in making changes.
The game changer for me was she not only understood what it is like to work in large corporates, she lead within them. So I felt she really understood my challenges, and could provide guidance other coaches I worked with couldn’t as they had never actually lead in commercial roles .
It is incredible what insight and change I was able to make in just 12 weeks. Best investment yet.”
