Hi there! My name is Claire Elyse LaRoche (she/her). I’m a Co-Active (CTI) certified life coach and healer who empowers female creatives, changemakers and entrepreneurs to turn their dreams into reality.

Now, more than ever, women need to embrace their magic for a more vibrant and balanced world to emerge. We need to learn to love ourselves deeply and let ourselves shine. Not only are you ENOUGH—you’re more powerful than you can ever imagine.

Clarity and confidence-building are at the heart of my coaching work. Only you can define what a “successful” life looks like, where you feel called to devote your energy and share your gifts. Together, we’ll uncover what you truly desire from your life, map a plan of action and help you move forward while rooted in community and your sense of purpose.

Heart in Hand

Clarity and growth come from taking action and making leaps of faith. From leaving home as a teenager to build a life in New York City on my own, to moving on from a career path in order to embrace entrepreneurship, every great thing in my life has resulted from courageous action and trust. Deep inside, we already have all the answers we need. As a coach and healer, I help you tap into the deep well of wisdom inside of you. Together, we’ll uncover your truth and employ tools to support you in living beyond the voice of fear and self-imposed limitations.

Our wounds can often be our greatest teachers. As a survivor of domestic violence and chronic illness, I have walked through the fires of trauma and grief and emerged stronger, opened to a larger capacity for gratitude and joy. This enables me to hold a deep, non-judgemental container for you to explore the full range of yourself. I acknowledge that transformation is rarely a linear process—sometimes it’s messy AF. You will be supported, seen and honored in the work that we do together.

After a brief stint in the fashion industry, I spent more than a decade serving in communications, events and development departments of nonprofits at the intersection of public health and social justice. Like many women, I excelled at planning and achieving, doing ALL THE THINGS while wearing busyness like a badge of honor. I worked hard and played hard, a Type A New Yorker with a never-ending to-do list and little sleep. But there came a point where that just wasn’t sustainable anymore.

Life as I knew it was no longer possible, and I was thrown into the waters of the unknown. It was time to let go and radically reprioritize. I relearned how to listen to the quiet, still voice inside of me and the wisdom of my body. Slowly but surely, I began to heal. I found a deeper sense of myself, strengthened my intuition and creativity, discovered what I truly want from life and embraced the spiralic journey to fulfillment.

The tools, practices and hard-won wisdom from this journey fuel my coaching and healing work. They ground me as your champion and cheerleader on the path to a life that’s nourishing, free and really fun. If you don’t know what you want to do with your life, but you know you’re not happy right now, I’d love to hear from you.

Courage doesn’t have to show up like a warrior going into battle.
Sometimes it’s as simple as stepping out on the dance floor.
Come dance with me.
