The sea didn't save us.

She prepared me.

The woman who returned… wasn't the one who left.

∞∞∞

Three years. One boat.

No clue what was in store.

Just a magnetic pull between two wanderlust souls, drawn toward something we couldn't name but somehow remembered.

We followed love into the great wide open, setting sail on a catamaran called In Balance— our Labrador curled at our feet, the horizon stretching like a promise in every direction.

We weren't running from anything. We were sailing toward everything.

Lulled by the siren songs of the sea, never realizing something else was rising beneath the waves. Something that had been waiting.

The sea doesn't offer comfort. She offers curriculum. She stirs. She strips. She shows you what's been hiding in plain sight.

We became students in her deep classroom—riding wave after wave of beauty, shadow, and slow revelation. Emergencies. Ecstasies. Paradise—until it wasn’t.

In the third year, something shifted. The temperature began to rise. And the real lesson was just beginning.

The sea doesn't coddle. She cleanses. She awakens. She reveals what's been lurking beneath the surface.

We didn't see it coming—not because it wasn't there, but because we were still believing in fairy tales.

The real plot twist wasn't the storm. It was what happened when we got home.

I was never lost. I just needed to remember who I was when everything I thought I knew... wasn't.

The sea didn’t save us.
She prepared me.
The woman who returned…
was not the one who left.

Three years. One boat. No map.

Just a magnetic pull between two wanderlust souls,
drawn toward something we couldn’t name
but somehow remembered.

We followed love into the great wide open,
setting sail on a catamaran called In Balance
our Labrador curled at our feet,
the horizon stretching like a mantra in every direction.

We weren’t running.

We were listening—
lulled by the siren songs of the sea,
never realizing the deeper voice rising beneath the waves.

The sea doesn’t offer comfort.
She offers clarity.
She stirs. She strips. She shows you what is real.

We were just a drop in her deep curriculum—
riding wave after wave of beauty, ache, and becoming.
Emergencies. Ecstasies.
The kind of moments that hollow you out and fill you with light at the same time.

In the third year, we cracked open.
And in that breaking, the illusion dissolved.

And the shadow rose like mist.

The sea doesn’t coddle.
She cleanses.
She awakens.
She reveals what cannot cross with you to the next chapter.

We didn’t see it coming—not because it wasn’t there,
but because we were listening for beauty.

I didn’t outrun the storm.
I became the stillness within it.
And in that exquisite quiet, I remembered:

I was never lost.
I’ve always been the lighthouse.

Every love story has a plot twist. Mine began at sea.

I set sail to write an epic romance. But the ocean had edits. She turned it into something far more honest.

What we thought would be an escape became the ultimate mirror—the kind that reflects more than you bargained for. Something wild began to rise up and touch every buried place, every hidden fracture, every shadow we'd left on shore.

The cruising life isn't for the faint of heart. Neither is discovering that some storms brew from within.

The sea didn't just test us. She revealed us. 

We thought we were chasing peace. And for a while, we found it—sunsets that silenced us, stillness that felt like prayer, moments so perfect I thought we'd found our forever.

But some things don't stay buried. They follow you everywhere, even to paradise. They wait. They watch. Until they force their way to the surface

You don't see it coming. You just wake up one morning and realize everything I was standing on had been shifting all along. Nothing was quite what it seemed.

But here’s what I discovered in the aftermath:
Every reckoning is an initiation.
What once felt like destiny slowly revealed itself as detour.
And sometimes, letting go of the dream is what finally sets you free.

Now, a memoir is rising from those wild, transformative waters—a story of sailing, shadow, and the slow burn of truth. Of what happens when paradise becomes a pressure cooker, and fairy tales reveal their true nature.

And maybe—just maybe—if you're living in a slow boil you can't quite name, this story will help you swim to shore.

Because the truth is: You're not falling apart. You're falling awake.

If you're here, it's not by accident. This guide found you at the perfect time.

Clare is the real thing. She makes learning spiritual tools incredibly  accessible, understandable and practical. She has a wealth of information on various spiritual practices and shares these tools through multiple mediums so you can absorb at your best level. I have worked with her on many beneficial services, including Akashic records, energy work, cord cutting, and ongoing spiritual education. All have been inspirational and life altering! We tend to connect when I am having trouble processing on my own and Clare helps me breakthrough to a better place! Continually impressed by Clare and her integrity, capabilities and connectedness.

I am forever grateful for all the support and coaching Clare has given to me in my journey in healing and spiritual growth over the years. Clare’s tools have helped me heal my mind, heart, body and soul. I have been able to connect with my true inner self and gain an inner power to heal and release old wounds and energy in order to take control of my life. I am mentally and emotionally stronger every day. I have gained more trust in myself and my ability to heal my mind, heart, and body. I have lost a significant amount of weight as I continue to make healthier choices and my body is transforming before my eyes. I have found motivation and excitement in taking the steps to creating a career that aligns more with my true Soul Purpose. For the first time in my life I can clearly see the future that I want to create for myself and I know and trust I have the power to make it all happen. Clare has been my saving grace in moving forward to create a new life filled with love, light and joy. You are a true blessing!!!

Clare's courses are informative and the source of many ahah moments. I have come away with an appreciation to truly live in the moment, trust my intuition and my inner voice. I’ve created a morning ritual of meditation, connecting with my spirit team to ground and protect me and keeping a gratitude journal. I’m doing the “work” and finally understand what the work is. I consider this course a reference guide. Clare provided us with a wealth of information, guided meditations and slides, so many tools to aid in our spiritual journey to ascension. As we enter a new age it is empowering to

understand we are all connected. It was a powerful experience to be a part of her courses and truly feel the connection.

Throughout my spiritual journey, I've been fortunate to learn from numerous teachers and Clare stands out as one of the most knowledgeable. I've had the privilege of being her student for many years, and her classes have been a source of tremendous enjoyment and immense growth in my conscious awareness. Clare's teachings are truly remarkable; she imparts her wisdom with thoroughness and expertise, guiding us toward individual and global betterment. In these uncertain times, I am deeply grateful to have her presence in my life.

Clare's courses have provided me with a much needed source of peace and reassurance that our world, though going through some of the most trying & difficult times, is on the mend. Clare is a beautiful spiritual teacher with a wealth of knowledge to share. Her classes are a gift to is all! 

Paula G., Jericho, NY  

I absolutely love working with Clare! I have been a client and student of hers for years. She has given me so many practical methods, meditations, resources, and tools. All I have implemented has triggered great breakthroughs and accelerated my spiritual growth far beyond my expectations. When I began with Clare, I had been working on self love for many years and it always felt forced and a waste of time. But after a few weeks of doing some of the techniques and meditations Clare taught, out of nowhere, I saw myself in the mirror and felt "Wow, I really love you". And again that night, before I fell asleep I said to myself, I love my life and I really love myself. Out of nowhere! I just genuinely felt it. I am so grateful for her dedication and commitment! Eternally Grateful.

I understand myself better and have tools to help me navigate these stressful times. I highly recommend Clare's services.
