Claire Amelia is a passionate mother of three, devoted to nurturing her family while embracing creativity and sustainability. As a skilled couture dressmaker, she draws on her extensive experience from owning multiple businesses, including a bridal shop. Claire has navigated challenges and emerged stronger, using her journey of healing from past trauma to inspire her work and connect with others.

 

Embarking on this journey has sparked a profound desire to rebuild both ourselves and our communities. By empowering each other to reclaim our autonomy, we can foster opportunities for wealth—both in experiences and the resources to enjoy them. Together, we can nurture our families and create a brighter future for all. Let’s step into our spiritual calling and harmonize our mind body, and soul’s desires.
