About Lumina

About me

I’m Claire, a leadership coach, wellbeing specialist, and passionate advocate for better standards in health and social care. With over 25 years of experience in the sector, I’ve seen first hand the pressures faced by those leading teams in emotionally demanding and ever-changing settings. That’s why I founded Lumina: to support the people who support everyone else.

My work combines executive coaching, wellbeing support, leadership development and team training to help leaders grow in confidence, communicate more effectively, and build compassionate, high-performing teams. I bring warmth, tenacity and a deep understanding of what it takes to lead well – especially when resources are stretched, and expectations are high.

This work matters deeply to me because I’ve lived it. I’ve led teams, supported front-line staff, and navigated the real-life challenges of delivering care with compassion. I know strong leadership goes hand in hand with wellbeing – for individuals, teams and the wider culture. When leaders feel supported, energised and clear-headed, everyone benefits. That’s the impact I’m committed to creating through Lumina: Where Support meets Understanding.
