Claire Mandeville

I was born in California in the 1950s. My early years were spent in the Central Valley, amidst miles and miles of farmland and the bounty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Personal health challenges led me to an understanding that how my food is grown and what I choose to eat affects my life. After healing through an integrated approach, with whole food, emotional healing and connection with nature being central to the process, I now enjoy excellent health. My passion for teaching and helping others lead me from teaching children in educational settings to teaching and coaching adults how to simplify their relationship with food, gain confidence in their own ability to nourish themselves, and sustain their well being.

I do not ascribe to one particular food philosophy (such as vegetarian, macrobiotic, vegan, etc). Rather, I support my clients in discovering what nourishes them best while reducing toxicity and increasing nutrients, working with their body’s innate wisdom to balance and regenerate itself.

I am also an EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Educator, offering my clients a simple, effective self-help tool to address underlying emotional issues connected with food and nourishment. Food is intrinsically interwoven with emotions, and it is often very helpful to address that relationship. EFT is often referred to as “Emotional Acupuncture”.

If you are looking for personalized support in making changes in the way you eat and take care of yourself, I would be happy to talk with you.
