I am the founder of SACRED WELLNESS ARTS.
My search for deeper meaning and profound answers to physical, emotional and spiritual wellness got me started while still living in Berlin, Germany (where I grew up) with my theatre training and the fascinating movement and character studies involved.
After moving to California in the early 90’s, I discovered the body-mind connection through my spiritual community, developing a steady Yoga Practice, studying Massage and Bodywork, reading Eastern Philosophy, and attending Satsangs & Meditations in different Buddhist Centers.
I realized that healing, inner peace and growth comes with practicing awareness, listening to your busy mind and life, exploring your willingness to transform your habitual thinking and therefore shifting your energetic structure. From here I started to connect more to the divine energies. I also became a Mama, and there was no stepping back from the beautiful path of learning not just within myself, but through a new small human being (not so small anymore).
My sacred learning journey:
- Therapeutic Bodywork, Shiatsu and Energy Healing.
- Esoteric Astrology, Psychology & Ancient Wisdom Program in Boulder with Joy Om.
- Usui Holy Fire® Reiki Master Teacher with Sarina Baptista at the Psychic Center of Colorado.
- Yoga&Meditation Teacher, RYT-200, at Om Ananda Yoga Studio, Fort Collins, Colorado.
- Many Workshops and Trainings as a way of enrichment.
- Certified Astrologer with the Rebecca Gordon Astrology School New York City.
MEET CLAUDIA
...............................................................................
I have dedicated my life to healing and serving a wide range of beautiful human beings!. Thank you all for being my most wonderful teachers.
My long time experience in exploring, observing and studying patterns made me keenly aware that no part of our existence is separate from one another the body informs the subconsciously held patterns via discomfort, disease, accidents or sudden changes or events so they can be brought to our consciousness and awaken our ability to heal.
My sessions reflect the accumulation of my experiences and observations informing my insightful connection with my clients and any soul that chooses to be around me.
My constant quest for information and learning gives me a unique set of skills from which I draw intuitively and passionately. Curiosity and a keen mental ability deeply enriches my practice where you will find the sacred space for your healing journey.
My passion is helping people, to teach, inspire, and guide them so they can find deep their healing, vitality and inner awakening. Sessions and teaching style genuinely flow between intuition and practicality, magic and compassionate listening, grace and inspiration.
I love beautiful food and cooking, hiking, going to hot springs, find peace in nature, and a hot cup of tea wherever I am. And my biggest mentor is my son! He never ceases to enlighten me.
My work: I have a full-time private practice, hold Reiki Trainings, teach yoga & meditation, offer group circles, facilitate workshops and retreats. I work on subtle energy levels offering Reiki Healing, Astrology and Intuitive Guidance for purpose and soul exploration and re-patterning. The grounded energy, warmth and lightness that came with my healing practice grew steadily and shines through all my work. Incorporating chakra balancing, intuitive insights, essential oils and the magic of cards add to my sacred healing space. I have worked in retreat settings with what has become Infinite Alignment and now lead wellness retreats on my own with Yoga, Meditation, wholesome food, contemplation and sacred guidance.

She is truly a gift. The shifts I have experienced from her healing powers and her use of Reiki Fusion in our distant online sessions are unlike anything I could have imagined for myself.
If you have been called to this space, please enter with an open heart and know that amazing things await you.”

“Working with Claudia has brought me deeper insight about my patterns, gifts, growth and body and how these are all connected. The thing that strikes me most about working with her is how incredibly present she is in our sessions. Whether she is giving a massage, going over my astrology chart or giving esoteric insights, she is fully present, fully passionate about this healing work. She has a perspective on health and spirituality that never fails to further enlighten me about myself and the world around me.“

“Integrating intentional and thoughtful movement into my day to day life has been an important part of my overall health and well-being. As a musician, it has been incredibly helpful to have Claudia guide me in purposeful, mindful movements and I’m able to incorporate our work together into my practice. The massage and movement work we do together has been so great – a ‘whole’ experience!"
Michelle
“Claudia’s approach is very intuitive and holistic. She is a kind listener and is able to piece together what you tell her with what your body is saying to bring about transformative healing and change. I would highly recommend Claudia!“
Jennifer
testimonial
“Claudia has instincts for therapeutic results… she is an extremely nurturing human being, one whose vocation is to always treat people with respect. In sum, she is the rare intelligent woman who goes towards the human side, rather than solely shooting for the diagnosis and a quick fix.“
Constance
testimonial
“The Indian Summer Sacred Yoga Retreat was nothing short of fantastic! The entire weekend, Claudia was in tune with the participants and provided the perfect experience.
A very tailored experience she was able to accommodate everyone from beginners (having never done yoga) to more advanced participants (some with actual teacher training).
I was a little worried that 4 sessions in 3 days might be a bit much. It was actually the opposite. I felt great the whole weekend.
The environment Claudia created helped us to develop a lovely connection with each other that felt absolutely natural.
And then there's the food Claudia prepared...outrageously delicious and healthy!
The Ute Lodge location is a magical place, a serene ranch, tucked away in a beautiful "nature" cocoon. I guarantee that if you attend this retreat next year you will come back with nothing but gratitude in your heart! Thank you Claudia!!!”

Eating a whole foods diet is what nature gave us. Nature did not give us processed and fast foods. That is a man-made diet that is slowing destroying the planet, mama earth and the individual’s health and well-being.
I have loved to cook and arrange beautiful plates since I was a little girl, to this day preparing simple, adventurous and wholesome foods. Organic whenever possible, I like dishes to be balanced and easy to prepare. My cooking is creative, drawing from world cultures and cuisines using lots of spices!
That being said, I advocate to eat the best diet one can, with as much integrity, awareness and love. The loving energy we put into our food, is the energy we see in our bodies and what we portray into our environment. For example, if you eat a beautiful raw food or farm-fresh diet, but are filled with anger and resentment, that diet might not nourish you the way you think it should. All of you needs to be onboard!
About Nutrition & Whole Foods
..................................................................................................
So, if you eat fast food every day with a happy heart, will that nourish you? Well, the jury is still out here, but my guess is that since there is not enough energy in the food itself, that the person and the body will slowly turn to unhappiness! That is when people see subtle changes in how they feel down, irritated, low energy and easily stressed.
My point to all this is: diets change, life styles change, circumstances change. But what does not need to change is our integrity, our sincere attention, intention and willingness to eat and live wholesomely.
I have worked in the holistic field for decades, and learned in the health food industry with nutrition, supplements, herbs and alternative therapies. I also studied Traditional Chinese Principals and Ayurvedic Concepts on my own. My extensive knowledge is based on learning experience, not on degrees I received.
I am not a nutritionist, dietician or a medical doctor and will not diagnose or prescribe.
But if you would like to make changes in life style, eating habits or find a diets for balancing stress, mood, energy levels, gut issues or common ailments, I am happy to educate and support you with a road map to a healthier well-being, one step at a time with realistic goals and practical solutions that fit your personality.
I will help you stay accountable for the changes you would like to implement!
