About

I live in Shetland with my husband and I’m a proud mum of two amazing kids. They’re my biggest inspiration and a huge part of why I do this work—because I want to show them what it means to live your life unapologetically, as your full, true self.It’s been a lifelong journey of peeling back the layers—healing old wounds, letting go of conditioning, and coming back to who I really am underneath it all. It hasn’t always been easy, not by a long shot, but...it has been worth it, to finally feel free to be me!!I want to be that example for my children—not by being perfect, but by being real. By choosing self-love, self-acceptance, and showing up as my whole self in a world that often teaches us to shrink, hide, or stay quiet. I believe we all have a light within us—and I’m finally letting mine shine.

I love learning and geek out over many things...fantasy books, all things magic, healing and spirituality, and I'm quite the computer nerd too!! I love a good laugh and a word of warning, I do like to use the most colourful of language at times. I wasn't nicknamed the Sassy Scottish Priestess for nothing!My vision for the world—and the one I’m working to help create—is one where we all feel safe to be ourselves. A world where we recognise our own gifts, own our uniqueness, and let our light shine without fear or shame, without reducing who we are for the comfort of others!!I imagine a space where everyone is welcome and loved for who they truly are. Where we feel empowered, not just surviving but consciously creating a life that feels good, aligned, and full of meaning.It’s not about being happy all the time—but knowing how to find our way back to joy. Having the tools, the awareness, and the support to navigate life with more ease, more self-trust, and a deeper connection to ourselves.

Healing Services

As a Reiki Master and Soul Alignment Guide my services are about holding sacred space for those who are ready to reconnect with themselves—whether that’s through one-to-one healing, learning Reiki, or gathering in ceremony with others. I weave together Reiki, energy medicine, intuitive guidance, ritual, and a whole lot of heart to support deep healing and transformation.My work is about slowing down, tuning in, and creating space for what your soul already knows. I’m not here to fix you—I’m here to walk beside you as you remember your own power.Whether you’re drawn to receive, learn, or gather in sacred space, I help you realign with your true essence. It’s about remembering who you are at a soul level and making the energetic shifts needed to support that.Current services are listed below.

HEALING SESSIONSI offer two types of healing sessions. A Reiki Session or a recorded Reiki & Crystal session.Reiki Sessions can be done in person or online. They consist of a 15 minute consultation followed by a 45 minute Reiki healing, cost £50. If you wish to have a longer consultation period you can book an extended session with an extra 30 minutes added on for £75.Reiki & Crystal Sessions are recorded and sent via email so you can listen and receive the healing energies over and over again. Send me your intention for your session and I will create a crystal grid which is a powerful tool used to amplify the energy of crystals for a specific purpose, intention, or goal. I then record a 30 minute distance Reiki session which is combined with the energy of the crystals and includes a meditation, cost £30.Click below to book one of these sessions.

SOUL ALIGNMENT CEREMONYA deeply personal space for healing, clarity, and connectionThis one-to-one ceremony is a sacred, supportive space where you can come just as you are — whether you’re feeling stuck, triggered, overwhelmed, or simply in need of guidance. It’s a ceremony designed entirely around you and what your soul is calling for in this moment.I’ve leaned on these practices through my own challenges — when I’ve needed clarity, comfort, or a way to move through emotions that felt too heavy to carry. Ceremony is where I come home to myself, and I’d be honoured to guide you through the same.Together, we’ll:✨ Open sacred space – I begin by calling in your divine team, the elements, the directions, your ancestors, Mama Gaia, and Mama Cacao.
✨ Work with cacao – As a heart-opening plant spirit, cacao helps us drop into the heart and access deeper layers of wisdom, healing, and truth.
✨ Use intuitively chosen crystals – I’ll choose stones that align with what you’re working through to support and amplify your healing.
✨ Drop into guided meditation – You’ll receive specific messages and insight from your inner self and divine guides.
✨ Journey shamanically – With drum and rhythm, I’ll guide you into a journey to meet your spirit allies (whether they show up as animals, light beings, ancestors, or other guides) and receive wisdom from the unseen realms.
✨ Journal your insights – There’s space for reflection and integration after each stage.
✨ Receive Reiki healing – I’ll channel Reiki energy to support your shift, whilst playing Solfeggio frequencies aligned with what you need.
✨ Guidance from Oracle cards - choose a card from an intuitively chosen deck for that extra layer of guidance and wisdom to come through.
By the end of the session, your energy will have shifted. You’ll likely feel clearer, lighter, more connected — and more able to move forward with confidence and grace.This is a sacred space for those who want to reconnect with themselves, release what’s no longer serving, and receive intuitive guidance from their highest self and spirit team. Each ceremony is completely unique, channelled specifically for your needs and what your soul is calling for.90 minute session, cost £111

CLIENT REFLECTIONS

"That healing was fucking amazing. I am going to remember that is one of my big tools in my toolbox.”"Claire’s capacity to hold, work with and send beautifully matched high frequency energy is the gift of a true healer. This experience was profound and yet so gentle. Claire creates such a potent container for truly transformational healing to occur. I am deeply blessed to have been held in Claire's magnificent magic!"
- Krista
"I love the format of Claire’s session. It was so freeing to receive a custom healing that I can listen to at any time, and now relisten as I feel called. It is short but POTENT.”
- Clarissa
"Receiving distance healing from Claire was such a gift. I had just gone through a series of traumatic events when I received her healing. I wasn't sleeping well and felt dysregulated. In the 30 minutes that I had to lay down to allow the healing energy she sent to flow through me, I immediately fell into a deep sleep that felt both calming and regulating at the same time. When I woke up I felt this sense of clarity on how to move forward and soon after had an emotional release that felt like it cleared the heaviness that I was feeling"
-Xandrine
"Claire is an incredible Reiki teacher, and powerful Energy Practitioner. She weaves her knowledge and wisdom throughout her Reiki training, in such a way that the information & practices feel both easeful and accessible. I felt safe to explore my own understanding and ask questions, while trusting in her skills to guide me through in the most aligned way. Claire was able to access where my current skills and aptitudes were, and weave those into the training. This allowed me to feel comfortable in my own unique blueprint, while also tapping into the foundational trainings - there was both flow and structure, always in the perfect union."
- Rhiannon
"When I enrolled on the level 1 reiki course with Claire I didn’t really know what reiki was. I’d heard of it and thought it sounded interesting but I’d never had a reiki session or knew what it entailed. I knew it was something I wanted to learn more about though, both to treat myself and others. I love Claire’s style of teaching. Her no nonsense, easy to understand and approachable method really worked for me. Knowing I could chip in at any time with a question or to clarify something made it even more enjoyable and I feel all the info really sunk in. The course manual was well laid out and covered everything we learnt so it’s a great reference to have. Claire goes into lots of detail and covers everything you need to know but as I mentioned before, her style of teaching doesn’t leave you feeling overloaded with info, if anything, you want to dive deeper into the wonderful world of energy healing"
- Vaila
"I love the ceremonies. Such a welcoming, safe space to do some inner work, reflection and healing. It's like a peerie mini retreat."
- Elsa
