Claire Eaton
Claire is a highly motivated and determined individual and like many women, she wears several hats as she juggles the roles of wife, mother and business owner. Claire doesn't have a story which will bring a tear to your eye, rather she has a strong philosophy about mindset, healthy thinking and the importance of knowing that personal resilience, optimism and confidence is an inside job and one that can't be outsourced to anyone. Claire has been working with young people and adults for over 20 years, during which time she has been paving a road in prevention-based mental wellness, however it wasn't until late 2007 that she decided to formalise her passion for youth and adult mental wellness in starting her own business in Perth, Western Australia. With further study, countless hours of personal client coaching, presentations to thousands of audience members and workshops for hundreds of teenagers, Claire has never looked back. She is one happy and content lady; whichever hat she is wearing!
