Sweet Words
Here’s what past Sweet Spot participants have to say.

-
Carol Camerino | Atlanta, GA
As a coach, trainer & facilitator myself, my bar is set pretty high. Claire doesn't disappoint.
She is expert at providing insight, encouragement, and tools for participants to set goals and achieve them. And she does this through well-planned and thoughtfully-developed programs and through using a seemingly unending variety of tools, strategies, and techniques.
I have referred clients to Claire's programs and teleseminars in the past and will continue to do so! Anyone interested in exploring their possibilities and potential or creating their dream life should seriously consider working with Claire! -
Deb Cooperman | Warren County, NJ
In every encounter with Claire, I take away a feeling of possibility — and a big shift in the way I approach things.
Claire just has a delightful perspective of possibility and openness, which she brings to everything she does. That perspective bubbles out, washes over, and infects (in a good way) everyone around her.
When you see her in photos, you'll see she's almost always smiling. And that's her. That is genuine Claire. Open, always looking for delight and ease, and through her example and experience, she gently nudges those of us around her to try that very same way of being on for size. -
Jenny Trautman | Atlanta, GA
Claire, you did an awesome job on the call! Your ability to invoke an atmosphere for the meeting and set an intention both at the beginning and end of the call makes your virtual presence very powerful. I notice your genius skill in this area. Your pacing for exercises is just right, not too fast or too slow.
When you lead a guided visualization, you give the participants clear prompts to follow, which is very helpful. I also love your use of movement during the meeting.
I'm so glad you held this call. The techniques you covered were terrific! Thanks for sharing your information so generously. I look forward to the day when I take another class from you. I am learning so much from having you as a facilitator. -
Michelle Hess | Mt. Horeb, WI
Working with Claire has had quite an impact on my life. She showed me how to be more free-spirited and daring; to be more organic in my approach to life, to art, to my home, letting one thing lead to the next, trusting and having FUN with it. What I've learned is to relax into the process and let each step guide me. It's one of the best lessons I've had in a long time.
I especially value your courses for the connection with community, gentle accountability, tangible results, lessons, affirmation, creativity, integration with topics in prior classes, and great leadership. -
Ginny Blasi | Belmar, NJ
Claire is all about freeing joy and creativity. I feel safe and real with her, and I feel like she gets me! After working with her, I always feel more like myself!
She’s like a life whisperer. Claire has a wonderful way of reframing a situation, thought, or "problem", which takes me to a place where I can move through it.
Working with Claire is like unwrapping a present. The process is where the joy is. Each layer becomes more of a joyful discovery. Lots of ooh-ing and ahhh-ing and admiring of the paper and bow and all the layers. -
Linda W. | Hilton Head, SC
Claire IS the space to explore, play, expand, and love. Because of her courses, I’m more open, peaceful, joyful, inspired, courageous, and loving than I was a few months ago.
I also deeply appreciate the playmates and Claire's sweet, loving, and expanding facilitating skills. She created a safe container to learn and grow, a safe place to BE!
Claire is just the gentlest, sweetest, most dedicated, passionate, and loving teacher a seeker could find! And like Bruce Springsteen, I do believe, based upon my repeated experience, that YOU believe, "Always give 'em more than they expect." Others call it the WOW Factor. I call it CLAIRE. -
Mary Tebbs | Salt Lake City, UT
Claire! I always feel a jolt of joy when in contact with you in any form. You are an Engaging Connector. An Inviting Reacher-Outer. A Sweet and Sensuous Aliveness Flyer. A Joy Igniter. An Infectious Creator.
-
Cindy McKee | Las Vegas, NV
Claire, when you speak, it sounds like it is coming right from your heart and the whole universe lights up. You have a beautiful delivery and being on the calls has had a profound effect on me. I feel truly blessed! Sending Love, Light, and Gratitude!

Vicky White | British Columbia
Claire, you've played a big part in me navigating these times of big transitions in my life with grace and ease — I so appreciate you!
-
Ellen Ingraham | Buena Vista, CO
Claire worked her magic in two areas: my home and my life. Her creativity gene is always buzzing, and her energy is continuously positive. True genius appeared as she led mastermind groups filled with fabulous women. I was in her first group and signed up for everyone she had until she moved from NJ to AZ!
She's a gifted facilitator with a huge heart. She has walked her talk into the life she dreamed of and continues to build it at home, with her wonderful partner, and in her growing business. -
Maria Semple | Greenville, NC
Claire is great at getting you to see "what can be" if your self-imposed limitations are eliminated.
Through our group, I was able to elevate my business and my life to another level.
The bonds formed with members of my group are still strong today, over a decade later. -
Pam Chamberlain | Stockton, NJ
I am on this journey to learn, and Claire has been a soulful, loving teacher and guide. I've participated in several of her programs.
It’s hard to describe Claire in a few words, but she is like a soft, whispering hum that fills a room, tickles its spirit, and nourishes everyone in it. -
Carissa Peters | Portland, OR
What I love most about Claire's teaching style is her gracious and authentic manner. It invites the participants to relax and share easily. She models transparent communication on the calls, in her writing, and on the community web board. Her deep compassion and humor infuse her words! Claire is transparent and sincere.
The course was convenient and affordable! It's a wonderful community she's building! Also, I love the fabulously easy and inviting infrastructure that works seamlessly to allow me to participate as a web-weary-leary-type... very refreshing!

Marla Stefanelli | Denver, CO
The most impactful part of the course I just finished with Claire was realizing that my dreams really can come true. My intention and belief have already gotten the ball rolling.
Thanks to what I've learned, I'm confidently stepping forward to explore the possibilities and enjoying the journey. Just me having the desire to be more of the artist that I already am has created connections with other artists who seemed to have been waiting in the wings. They inspire me to go forward.
Feeling great thankfulness and affection for you and your willingness to share and help us on our creative journey. -
Suzanne Kilkus | Madison, WI
Claire created a spacious container for all my experiences—feelings, thoughts, sensations, contractions, and expansions—that always brought me home to myself. I felt full and rich in all things. I moved from my sense of creative dormancy to vibrant flow.
Her perspectives and offerings of herself in the moment were excellent guides for unexpected views on the dilemma of the moment, allowing them to melt into resolution and clarity.
My deepest appreciation to her and for her. I so enjoyed working with her.

Kathleen Reynolds | Kingston, NY
Working with Claire, I learned to move consciously! If I feel stuck or blocked, I can just move a little—swing my arms, my hips, my head—and do a little dance! This seems so ridiculously simple, but it has been transformative.
I've learned to recognize when I start pulling my ‘ceiling’ down. And why not make it easy? Remarkable what a difference that makes!
Claire helps me examine myself, my goals, and my 'perceived' obstacles without worry or judgment. I'm just looking to see what's there and how to arrange the pieces in a fun, pretty way—like a collage, quilt, or painting! I learned that I’m a work of art, not a construction project! Whoo-hooo!
I've loved the inspirations I've had working with you and the shifts I've experienced via your guidance and encouragement -- and I'm filled with excited anticipation for the next tie we play together! -
Stephanie B. | North Kingstown, RI
One thing I am taking from this course is the idea of honoring my own pace, my 'me' time, and my physical space.
Claire always knows just what to say. Her loving nature is evident in every interaction she has with her students, whether it's a post on the forum, an email response, or an answer on one of the live calls.
She loves and honors all of her students and always makes me feel at home. As soon as I hear her voice, I am instantly relaxed and at ease. She has a wonderful mix of laughter, joy, and empathy, as well as true experiential knowledge of what she's teaching us. She never hesitates to answer questions, and her answers are always spot-on. -
Katie Haverly | Rochester, NY
The biggest benefit I got from working with Claire was a deeper understanding of how my mind and body are connected and the deep "knowing" that my body possesses. I relished the genuine, extremely positive energy and support for all of my endeavors, dreams, and passions.
What I love is that I feel kindred to her, and she approaches our time together with a spirit of learning and collaboration. For the first time, I feel absolutely supported on all fronts as I transform my life.
Claire is a genuine, deeply positive, and supportive person who enjoys life fully and wants to help others enjoy it as much as possible. She radiates a healing and loving energy that is infectious and refreshing. She's an inspiration to work with. -
Patty R. | Salt Spring Island, BC
Claire, you have a wonderful gift of lightness, authenticity, and transparency, all bundled with amazing tools that make shifting myself less scary and easier than I've ever experienced. What a gift!
SO happy to have tools that are working to shift my emotions and energy.
I want to thank you personally for your work in this world. I truly love your exuberance and loving light-heartedness. You are a gift. Thank you, thank you! -
Theresa Mertens | Tucson, AZ
I've benefited so much from Claire's enlightening classes and conference calls. She also has the most awesome online community.
I've learned so much in her virtual workshops and met wonderful, like-minded, creative souls. These connections are helping me—and my business—grow!

Jennifer Machado | Bridgeport, CT
Claire is an incredible teacher, which is, I’m beginning to realize, no small feat to transfer to the online environment. She uses interactive, experiential approaches I haven’t seen before. The 'classroom' environment is full of lovely, supportive women. Claire is extremely hands-on and helpful with feedback. The learning themes are not only SO INTERESTING but also making a HUGE difference in my life in so many ways! I am loving every single second of this course so far.

Renee S. | Holland Township, NJ
My life has changed for the better in every aspect. She has inspired me to create a life that I love.
After taking classes with Claire, I feel that I can be alone and love myself under all circumstances. I have learned to listen to my intuition and not be afraid of what it tells me. I now have the ability to really slow down and feel my body to determine what I’m actually feeling rather than reacting with a knee-jerk reaction.
Claire has an amazing ability to hear and feel what you are saying, not just the words that come out of your mouth. -
J.S. | Seattle, WA
I ENJOYED YOUR COURSE SO MUCH. Your essence illuminates the airwaves, making taking an e-course with you a fun, rewarding, easy, and delightful experience for me.
My favorite part is how you've woven together many elements into the curriculum through a steadily unfolding process, which I love. You organized the container in a magical way. I found the guided meditations profound. The pacing of your voice, along with rich visualizations and imagery, made for a perfect pairing. -
Gail Denton | Longmont, CO
What I love most about Claire's teaching style is her wise vulnerability and fearless leaping into the void.
What I loved the most about this course was that it got my attention about my core beliefs. It rocked my world, going through to the core and freeing me to be myself more thoughtfully and actively. -
Veronica T. | Los Angeles, CA
What I loved most about the course were the discussions with a great group of people and just the joy of finding a place where I actually fit in and felt so secure.
-
Celeste Vermette | Ottawa, Canada
Claire gently, really very lightly, inspires me with a bubbly, champagne-like wholesome wellness.
-
Fiona Davies | London, England
Exploring with Claire, I felt like I was remembering myself in a really deep, easy way for the first time, and it also felt like being reminded of thousands-of-years-old wisdom and things that I've always felt were true yet synthesized in a new way.
