ABOUT ME
After a 30-year career in teaching, I trained in spiritual counselling, Soul Plan Reading, and other healing therapies at the Holistic Healing College in London, and in 2017 founded Pathfinder Holistic Healing.
Becoming a Celebrant and later an End-of-Life Doula/Soul Midwife with the UK Society of Celebrants felt like a natural extension of this work, and for several years I ran the two paths alongside each other.
In 2025, after two years of deep training with the One Spirit Interfaith Foundation, I was ordained as an Interfaith Minister and brought my celebrant, spiritual accompaniment, and healing services together under my new name — Held by Claire.
I now live in the village of Withnell, near Chorley, with my dog Scooby, and enjoy walking, reading, singing, cricket, and spending time with my son and grandson.
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.
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.
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there... Rumi
