Creative expressionists, wellbeing enthusiasts, hobbyists who want to self express online and write their heart out in nervous system safe ways.

Hi, I'm Claire. I'm an Engagement Consultant and Mentor and I started my journey with Substack in 2022. I've built my audience to 19k readers across two publications, work with over 500 members and I'm so excited to share more with you.
Come join us.
"Claire is, of course, the go-to expert on everything Substack.
I rely on her to cut through the jargon and the noise to make sense of the latest features of the platform and love her person-centred approach to building sustainable and joyful Substack publications and the communities around them.
✨
On my journey to Substack Bestseller (101 paid subs), I gained such a lot from Claire during her Sparkle calls and – lucky for me – an in person session.
✨
She empowered me to get clear on my goals and helped me through her extensive, decades-long experience working in engagement to think about how I could really get to know and best serve my growing community.
✨
Her wisdom enabled me to feel confident in offering value across various tiers of my membership and I couldn't have achieved the level of success I have thus far without her support.
If you get the chance to work with Claire, grab it!"
Lindsay Johnstone, author and host of What Now with Lindsay Johnstone.
"On the very first day, I recouped the entire cost of the course simply by implementing the changes Claire recommended in the first lesson and sending 1 email to my list."
"I love Claire's open hearted, enthusiastic and generous sharing and support around Substack. It has extended my goals, I've managed to get Bestseller status (101 paid subs) within months of working with her, all whilst working intuitively, from the heart, with flexibility and always keeping my writing at the heart."

"I've been overjoyed to be a Diamond Member at Sparkle on Substack, but I also snatched up Claire's book and attended the World-Class Substack workshop she ran with co-author Russell Nohelty.
Following one tip they shared led to me more than doubling paid subscribers (and my annual income from Substack) in three days!
Now let's see what happens when I read through my notes and try any of the other dozen ideas I had on just that one call. You owe it to yourself to learn from Claire if you want to build a sustainable Substack that brings you (and your readers) joy."
