Meet Claire
As a Korean adoptee, a Jay Shetty certified Empowerment Coach, Somatic Breathwork Practitioner, and an Integrated Attachment Theory Coach, I'm deeply passionate about guiding fellow adoptees—especially those with transracial and transnational backgrounds—toward profound healing. I believe we can heal our adoption wounds and learn the art of secure relationships through subconscious reprogramming and nervous system regulation. As an adoptee with lived experience, I have personally navigated the unique journey of adoption. I understand the struggles with fearing abandonment or rejection, feelings of unworthiness, and unhealthy attachments. Transformation and healing happens when we question our stories, learn tools to heal our core wounds, rewrite our narratives, and free ourselves from the pain of insecure relationships. My mission is to empower you to tap into your innate wisdom, release what no longer serves you, and cultivate inner peace through a compassionate, client-centered approach.

Here's What It's Like to Work With Claire
Frequently Asked Questions
We've got answers!
How do I start healing my adoption wounds?
Healing adoption wounds involves several key steps. It begins with exploring your adoption attachment styles to understand how your perception of past experiences might be impacting your present relationships. We then learn practical tools to reprogram our subconscious minds, helping to shift limiting beliefs and patterns. This also involves questioning our stories – the narratives we've built around our experiences – and most importantly, learning how to regulate our nervous system. By doing this, we can prevent ourselves from getting stuck in core wounds like fear of abandonment, rejection, unworthiness or feeling alone, and instead cultivate inner peace and secure connections.
Is it possible to become securely attached if I have an insecure attachment style?
Yes — absolutely. Insecure attachment isn't a life sentence; it's a pattern your nervous system learned, which means it can be rewired. Our Adoptee Attachment Healing Workshops and our 16-Week Group Coaching Program are built to teach you exactly how, using integrated attachment theory, somatic tools, and the power of healing in community. I also offer personalized one-on-one support. You'll walk away with practical tools to transform your relationship patterns and move from feeling stuck to secure — together, not alone.
Who can attend the Empowered Adoptee Retreats?
The Empowered Adoptee Retreats are open to any transracial and transnational adoptee who wants to explore their healing journey within a supportive community. While our facilitators are Korean adoptees and some cultural activities may include Korean elements, the experience is designed to be inclusive and beneficial for adoptees from diverse backgrounds who share a similar journey of navigating adoption and identity.
