Claire
I come from a small town in south-west Scotland. I am a certified EFT Tapping Practitioner and a Portrait Photographer currently living and working in Berlin, Germany.
I have always been an empathetic observer, captivated by the idea of making the invisible visible. This began with using photography as a means to explore emotion and my EFT studies took that to a brand new level. I have a BA in Photography and I have worked as a photographer since my mid teens. Having a camera in my hand and a deep intrigue for humans, exploring various realities and points of view has been my natural state of being for most of my life. I have been taking EFT clients since the pandemic, which was a moment when I knew the world needed more people able to manage the emotional load.
As a student of Marina Abramović Institute, I worked with endurance performance art. This helped me to gain a deep understanding of my own body and build a strong foundation in which to hold space as a practitioner.
The mediums I use in my practice include:
EFT (emotional freedom techniques), Somatic Body Movement, using the body as an artistic medium, audio recording, photography and film making.

Me with my dear friend and soul collaborator Nadia at the beach, working on some content for Portrait Therapy. We live to deconstruct the boundaries between work and play. A paradigm shift that I am grateful to be living at the cutting edge of.
Who else is ready to make play a productive and viable lifestyle?
