About

Claire Venus in Barter Books in Alnwick sat at a table with a notebook and pen

Hi there!

I'm Claire

I'm so glad you stopped by.

I'm a Creative Engagement Consultant and Mentor, mum to two and co-founder of a wellbeing space in here in Northumberland, UK.

Myself and my husband moved to an ex mining village in 2016 with our toddler in tow.

Our dream life stretched out in front of us... mountains to climb (for him), dramatic coastal paths (for me) and breathtakingly beautiful dark skies for both of us and our growing family.

When the pandemic hit my daughter grew in tandem in my womb and we refreshed the way we work collectively to offer more people connection to our yoga studio, garden spaces and creative and wellbeing teachings.

We offer a range of one to ones, online courses and self guided workshops and beautifully designed wellness and inspiration journals too.

We'd love to meet you

Our online courses, in-person one to ones and retreat packages are listed below... if you can't find what you're looking for drop us a line.

My Values

Integrity - I hold integrity above all other values. My teaching and mentoring style is embodied through the actions I've taken in my career.
Creativity - I believe we can find, discover and plan creatively to do our best work in the world.
Compassion - I have compassion for you and your journey. I am empathetic by nature and I will meet you where you're at.
Synchronicity - because what's life if we don't believe in a little magic? ✨
