The Art of Transformation

Claire M. Perkins is a personal evolution coach and award winning author of The Deep Water Leaf Society: Harnessing the Transformative Power of Grief (Intuitive Journey Press 2008). After losing her eldest son to a drug overdose in 2004, Claire embarked on a conscious and creative journey through grief into healing. By using a unique combination of dream work, journaling, expressive arts and inner guidance, Claire learned that within this deep experience of grief a gift of profound spiritual transformation awaited her discovery. Claire believes that every loss you experience and every challenge you face contains all the energy you need to fuel the next cycle of your own personal and spiritual evolution. Today she shares her methods with others who are grieving through individual and group coaching, retreats, workshops and public speaking.


Claire’s education and training includes a BIS degree in philosophy and religious studies from Arizona State University, Creative Journal Expressive Arts certification from Dr. Lucia Capacchione, Dream Teacher training with Robert Moss, and a certificate in Transformational Life Coaching from the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts. She is a featured writer for OpenToHope.com and a Charter Member of the Arizona Holistic Chamber of Commerce.

The only guarantee in life is that things are going to change. Perhaps the most important skill we can develop, then, is the ability to navigate change successfully. Every change involves the death of the old and the birth of the new, so we must learn how to grieve and midwife simultaneously. Whether you are facing challenges at the individual level or worrying about changes at the global level, Claire can help you learn to actively engage the process of change, channeling its energy through you from a place of empowerment rather victimhood. This will lead to true and lasting transformation and personal growth. Claire can be reached at 480-924-7086 or Claire@DeepWaterLeafSociety.com.
