Why I can help

Following a 30 year career in teaching, I set up my own business, Pathfinder Holistic Healing, in 2017, after qualifying in spiritual counselling, Soul Plan Reading and other healing therapies at the Holistic Healing College in London.

Training as a Celebrant and then an End of Life Doula/Soul Midwife with the UK Society of Celebrants felt like a natural progression and extension of my holistic business and I found many parallels between the two businesses that, for several years, I ran alongside each other.

In 2025, after 2 years of very deep and insightful training with the One Spirit Interfaith Foundation, I was ordained as an Interfaith Minister and I brought my celebrant, spiritual accompaniment and healing services together under my new business name Held by Claire. 

HOW I CAN HELP

I support people through a blend of interfaith celebrancy, end-of-life care as a soul midwife, spiritual accompaniment, and a variety of healing therapies and readings — including Reiki, Soul Plan Reading, Soul Transformation Therapy, and Qigong. 

Languages Offered

English, British Sign Language, and Spanish 

The Path That Brought Me Here

My Mission

To support others through life's challenges and triumphs with inclusivity, respect, compassion and integrity, celebrating the uniqueness and interconnectedness of us all

About Me

I live in the beautiful village of Withnell, near Chorley, with my dog, Scooby. Alongside my ministry and spiritual practice, I enjoy walking, reading, singing, cricket and spending time with my son and grandson. 

Celebrating Every Journey

An Interfaith approach to life and to ministry

Being an Interfaith Minister to me is acceptance of all faiths and those who don’t conform to any organised religion. It’s about seeing and celebrating the value and worth in everyone and the understanding that each of us has our own path to travel. It’s about creating a space, whether through my celebrant work, healing work or spiritual accompaniment, where everyone can feel safe, valued, respected and held, and where there is an opportunity for connection, healing and growth.


I offer you my presence, my respect, my compassion and a safe space where you can freely express yourself and know you will be listened to deeply and without judgement.

An Open Door

If any part of my story resonates with you, I would be honoured to hear yours. Whether you are preparing for a ceremony, seeking healing, or simply curious about what I do, you are warmly invited to reach out. When the time feels right for you, I’ll be here to listen.

The Rhythm of My Days

Life for me is a balance of ministry, healing, and the simple joys that keep me grounded. My days often include walking in nature with my dog Scooby, practising Qigong or reading. These moments of stillness and joy sustain me, and they flow into the way I hold space for others.

Those I Serve

I support people at many different stages of life —families saying goodbye to loved ones, people beginning a new journey,  and individuals seeking healing or spiritual guidance. My work is inclusive of all faiths, welcoming anyone who wishes to be heard and supported. Whoever you are, and wherever you find yourself on your path, you are welcome here.

The Heart of My Work

 Whether you are celebrating, grieving, healing, or searching, you don’t have to navigate it alone. 

Contact Me

 Whether you're seeking support, curious about a ceremony, or just exploring possibilities, you’re warmly invited to get in touch.
