What our students of Courage To Create are saying...

Claudia is a compassionate, accessible, and all-around uplifting human to be around, who walks the walk. Having Claudia as a personal cheerleader (giving me both career-oriented guidance and general motivation) set me up to make some shifts in my business and feel more confident going forward in the new world we find ourselves in. Claudia's loving support is beyond helpful - if you're thinking about working with her, do it!

I was stalled in introducing my class to the world. I wasn't holding myself accountable and I was pushing myself out of my comfort zone out of fear. Working with Claudia changed this- she was such a strong and steady guide and helped me realize my potential. I got so much from this group- support, sisterhood, inspiration, guidance, accountability, and best of all Claudia helped me get my program out into the world. I hold my first class tomorrow and will be helping women from all over heal from a traumatic birth. I have formed lifelong friendships in this container. I have pages upon pages of notes I can refer to when I need inspiration. It is worth the investment in yourself. It has a ripple effect to help all other areas and relationships in your life.

SHOSHONA SAIDA, FEMININE FLOW

Claudia had guided me through some tumultuous times in my intimate relationship. What stood out for me the most about her was her ability to bring everything back to the heart. 

 

She would guide me to uncover my fears, which wasn't always easy and see clearly what was holding me back from my own truth. Her energy is soft and very compassionate. She works with both mindset and embodiment. Always asking where the energy and emotion sits within my body.

 

I highly recommend her if you are looking for guidance back to your own heart & truth.

MICHELLE HOUSE, SOULBOUND TM

Working with Claudia, I have had so many light bulb moments. She gave me the space to express myself and then the perfectly guided love and questions to lead me back to seeing my "issues" from a different perspective. What I once viewed as a downfall she helped me see as a huge win and blessing and showed me how to use any given scenario to my advantage. You can only leave this woman feeling loved, seen, heard and empowered. Thank you Claudia.

SARAH BREIDENBACH, COUNSELOR

Sometimes I don’t want to hear what Claudia has to say because she will always tell me anything is possible, everything is possible. There are days I want her to take my excuses, my “but no not possible for me”, my “can’t happen” seriously. But this is exactly what sets Claudia apart. With empathy she nods at your hurt, your fear, your disappointment, but she never stops there. She is unrelenting in her belief in your great capacity. And in a human life where there is plenty that might say your dreams can’t come true, we need someone like Claudia. She says it because she lives it. 

 

 

Her faith in you, in anyone, is authentic and persistent. Working with Claudia may call for moments of self-reckoning, but she will never give up on you. And most of the time it feels easy, like panting when you were a kid before anyone told you your birds looked like anything other than exact replicas. Your instinct and intuition is right, it was always right. And she’ll hold your hand while you discover it again. She’ll guide the quiet listening. She’ll ground your feet with self-trust when your legs feel shaky on the bridges from here to there.

AIMEE TABOR, TEST TECHNICIAN

I had been feeling a bit lost and looking for a little direction when I saw Claudia was offering her coaching program. Always full of light, positive energy, and patience, I felt certain this was what I needed. I always hear the smile in her words, the kindness in her tone, and the patience in her suggestions. Even from a million miles away, she has the time to give and make you feel like you have her full attention. I did some painful, but very insightful digging into my issues that helped me let go of what I thought was holding me back and really get back to the basics of taking care of me. I found more confidence in my self, my intuition, and a reminder to look at the bigger picture. Each interaction we have has the trust and insight of an old friend, authentic concern, and effervescent encouragement that I feel in my heart for days.

JAMIE TABOR-SCHMIDT, CHICKEN POOP

Claudia is a beam of beautiful light. You know that feeling you get when you turn up your favorite song all the way and it makes you grin ear to ear? Claudia radiates that kind of energy. She has a playful, yet insightful approach to the world. She is knowledgeable and digs deep. Traveling all over the world, Claudia knows no strangers and she has smiles for days. She asks the kind of questions no one else is asking. 

She helped me take action to obtain my goals and to set new ones.  Claudia is who you need if you’re passionate about something and you’re ready for change.

CHARLOTTE DOUGLAS, YOGA EDUCATOR

Claudia is a delight to work with, the process allows you to break down the big ideas into small and achievable pieces so that the idea of change does not feel overwhelming. She so clearly is living this process as each time we went through a process Claudia would say how she incorporates the action into her life which inspires you to do so also.

AMBER STUDDERT

Claudia has been an incredible source of light and guidance for me. I am a sole parent and provider to my daughter. I was mentally abused in my past two relationships and was at the time experiencing financial difficulty. I needed help! Claudia gave this to me, and I'm so grateful for her gifts. I delved deep within my limiting beliefs, more into me, and what do I want. Claudia sees me, and she holds space for me always. She really understood my struggles and could authentically put herself in my shoes with compassion. Having Claudia in my life has helped me be more accountable. She also provides me with many different tools, her own meditations, books, and resources that I can go to every day. I highly recommend working with Claudia. Her guidance is invaluable. No matter what is going on in your life, she can help you manifest what your heart desires. It's an important to gift yourself.

What our students are saying

Before doing Courage To Create, I felt stuck. I was overwhelmed, feeling unsupported, frustrated, constantly feeling tired, and run down. I needed support in revamping my business and finding clarity around what I want. I felt stuck and overwhelmed about the technology side of building things, like my website, newsletter, etc. Generally. I needed my pizzaz back. My experience was being part of a supportive group of women who supported and held space for me as I unraveled and spoke my truth, as I processed my challenges and built myself back up again. Claudia gave everyone such an equal amount of time and attention during the group coaching sessions, and it was really helpful to watch other women's processes. The additional meditations, hypnosis sessions, and one-on one sessions with Claudia were integral to the process and such great support alongside the group coaching sessions. I left the program feeling un-stuck. I no longer felt overwhelmed by the technology side of things. building my website, etc, even though some things take me longer to figure out than I would like them to. I left the program with more awareness and with a deeper knowledge of work I've done before in the area of triggers. shadow work, and inner child exploration. The way Claudia communicated this information was super effective. I'm more clear around boundaries and more committed to rituals that support my daily life.

When I signed up for Courage to Create, I had a feeling that I needed to cause a change in several areas of my life: I needed to create a career from an unstable job situation, I craved a home in a new state, and I had a deep desire to create a loving relationship. While all of these seeds were planted when I signed up for the program, the 12-week container and focused exercises led by Claudia, designed to knock out limiting beliefs, set boundaries, and state my desires, all in the safety of a handful of incredible women, generated results that were beyond my expectation. By the end of Courage to Create, I had moved to a new place and set up a home, landed a new job, and transitioned a casual dating partner into a committed relationship. It was incredible knowing Claudia was there to coach, and a dozen women were cheering me on, and I was cheering on their success. I feel so grateful to have had this support network.
 

Janae Hagan

Working with Claudia helped me get unstuck and gain clarity on my goals during a big life transition. She was kind and compassionate and helped me build confidence and courage to take steps forward to create the life that aligns with my values and the dream I want to build. She would give me firm “nudges” to empower me to achieve my goals but would also give me virtual hugs when I was vulnerable. Claudia is a beautiful soul and an insightful coach.

 

 - Cora Lee

My experience working with Claudia in Courage to Create was fucking amazingly life-changing! I was diagnosed with three mental illness disorders, for which I have received counseling and hospitalization prior to Courage to Create. In my three months with Claudia, I gained an understanding of how to manage my mental illness symptoms better than any of the mental health treatments I used in the past. I'm forever grateful for her caring, powerful soul! Before the program. I was stuck in a people-pleasing mode so much that I could not connect with my most authentic self. I was silently suffering while loving everyone with all my heart except myself. I got support in creating boundaries that support my own comfort, goals, and health. I also learned how to self-love + prioritize self-care. After completing Courage to Create, I am better equipped at managing my mental illness symptoms (just the other day. I overcame an anxiety attack in 5 min as opposed to being paralyzed for days from it). And I love sharing my new personal development life experiences with my new Courage To Create Sisters. Lastly, I am full of personalized knowledge and tools that I can tap into when I'm having rough life moments in my life.

I felt very stuck before this course, very alone and unsupported. I had no purpose and direction and felt my life had no point. I was depressed that I didn't think a course to anything would help me anymore. This course is TRANSFORMATIONAL! Claudia is the real deal when it comes to a genuine and sincere concern to help people. Her ability to bring women together with themes of fun and empowerment and great sensitivity and care is so powerful. I have never experienced sisterhood before. It is the Best! Wow! What you get from sharing with other women is not only expansive but healing. So grateful for this program. The tools Claudia taught and her unwavering commitment in having us show up was incredible. Claudia's mission statement to "help women rise" is completely congruent because in this course Claudia holds you so high you cannot help but rise! I turned around some very negative debilitating programs and beliefs in myself and in a short time am already creating and making positive changes in my life that I never would have thought possible. Claudia's program will change you if you want to change. Doing the inner work (an its not really work!) the commitment to yourself you will transform within and your world outside will start to expand. The relationship? The career? The finances? The heatlth? It all begins from within! And this program does just that!

– Anah Epifanidis

Before I joined Courage To Create, my self-belief was at a real low, and I just felt overwhelmed, useless, and ineffective in everything I was doing....at work, home, and study. I was a little skeptical at first as I had never had any success with previous coaching. I think the difference was that Claudia shared her own real experience and, therefore able to provide tangible tools and tips from her heart that had worked for her and not from a textbook, so just a couple of weeks in, I was getting benefits. I was in a glass-half-empty place, which I really didn't like, and I was struggling to find positivity. Now I do, and when I get in that negative place. I have the tools to turn around and change my reality.
