Biography for Claire Awada, CHt, PHd

With over 15 years of experience, Claire has been driven by one core question: what drives us to do what we do? As a Certified Hypnotherapist and NLP Trainer, she works directly with the subconscious mind—where belief systems, emotional patterns, and automatic reactions are formed. Because when you shift what’s underneath, everything on the surface begins to change.

Claire graduated with Honors from HMI College of Hypnotherapy and works with clients privately, primarily through Zoom. Her work focuses on helping people transform at the core, not just cope on the surface. She believes real healing happens when the conscious and unconscious minds work together to create safety, clarity, and emotional release.

In her approach, emotional release is the reset, the nervous system is the engine, and identity is the upgrade. When those align, career, relationships, and self-worth naturally follow. Basically… get the inner system aligned, and life stops feeling like it’s buffering.

Experience

Over the years, Claire has worked with a wide range of clients—from leaders and entrepreneurs to individuals rebuilding their lives after major emotional or personal transitions. She has helped people clarify their vision, move past internal blocks, and step into the life they know they’re meant for, not the one they settled for.

Her experience includes supporting startup founders, high-achievers, and professionals who felt stuck despite their success. At the same time, she has guided many women through the process of starting over—emotionally, professionally, and personally—with strength, clarity, and self-trust.

Whether someone is building a business, healing from the past, or redefining who they are, Claire’s work meets them where they are and helps them move forward from the inside out. Because when belief systems shift, momentum follows—and suddenly, dreams stop being “someday” and start becoming plans.
