ABOUT CLARA
The Best Medicine In The World
Comes From Within
Clara first made her presence known in Nelson Mandela’s new South Africa by representing a pathway of freedom and strength to women wounded by mental enslavement. Her presence has inspired a whole generation of women of color by challenging the notion of stereotypical beauty. She has also attracted worldwide attention by shaving her head for an international campaign led by United Colors Of Benetton. As a top runway model at the height of modern fashion, she made a splash in Paris, Milan, Barcelona, London, Toronto, and New York. She is a pioneer in breaking barriers of image by being the first woman of color to appear on the cover of Britain’s Health and Fitness magazine. Her athletic reputation in team and individual sports is stellar and she still holds records in Canada that are untouched in Track and Field to this day.
Since then she has embodied an ideal of radiant health inside and out.
Now a mother, published author(Ascension) and a spiritual teacher, Clara wishes to impart her deep knowledge and gift of healing through sports medicine and Soul Circles to the world.
Her deep understanding of physiognomy and physiology allows her to intuitively design personalized services for all populations offering injury prevention and recovery.
She developed a unique method of training that integrates a format of Sports Medicine PT, Martial Arts, Medical Qi gong, sound healing, meditation, and indigenous healing circle practices. She is the owner and managing director of ClaireFit LLC & Radiant Health & Wellness. Clara led the way for BIPOC circles as a certified Restorative Justice circle keeper at Hidden Water, an organization for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. She is currently a Board Member and co-facilitates the Walking in Balance curriculum at Visioning Bear Circle Intertribal Coalition (VBCIC) with Strong Oak. Her own personal story of overcoming trauma is paramount to her existence in creating a more humanistic, holistic way of healing the body, mind, and soul.
Clara is a dynamic facilitator of transformation and change. Her core belief is that everyone has a capacity to heal and her life’s work is to assist people in accessing the unlocking of their own hidden power.
