Claudia Braun started her practice in 1993 out of a desire to offer individuals a better way to take care of themselves. Claudia has combined her Shiatsu training, yoga instruction and spiritual tools to offer services that treat the whole person. Whether in individual sessions or corporate programs, the intention is to teach people to be present to their true needs and desires by discovering the wisdom of their inner guidance and letting it direct their actions. The more awake we are to ourselves, the more we can be open to the direction our inner self is guiding us to take.

After graduation from Indiana University, Claudia worked in the corporate sector for 10 years and found her job less and less satisfying. She noticed others struggling to succeed in an atmosphere that did not support the individual. During this time she began receiving Shiatsu sessions and learning Yoga. In these disciplines she found a better way to connect with herself and wanted to share her knowledge with others.

Claudia is a graduate of the Ohashi Institute, NU yoga's teacher training in Chicago, an Aromatherapist, and a licensed Avatar Master. She continues to attend workshops on yoga and spiritual practices. She continues to study with Diane Long, 23 year student of Vanda Scaravelli.
