Today we’d like to introduce you to Claire Koger.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
From Darkness to Devotion: A Journey Home
My name is Claire, and over the last five years my life has been radically transformed through what many call a dark night of the soul—followed by a profound divine rebirth.
I was stripped of everything I once knew, not as punishment, but as preparation. When all that is familiar falls away, space is created—space to rebuild with intention, integrity, and truth. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, and what once felt like unbearable loss has revealed itself as my greatest catalyst for growth.
My past includes drug addiction, the devastating loss of significant others to overdose, and a traumatic car accident that left me in a coma. These experiences forced me inward, demanding that I feel everything I had spent years avoiding. It was heavy—immensely so—but it was also necessary. That descent became the doorway to my healing.
In 2022, I attended a yoga class that changed the trajectory of my life. It felt like a remembrance—like coming home to myself after years of disconnection. My body knew before my mind did. Shortly after, I enrolled in yoga teacher training, and from that moment on, doors began to open. My energy shifted from survival and suffering into sovereignty and liberation. Slowly, I reclaimed my spark and rediscovered joy, presence, and reverence for life itself.
Yoga became the gateway to my spiritual path. Through it, I was guided toward deeper modalities of healing and service. I went on to become a Reiki Master, ancestral healer, intuitive guide, sound healing practitioner, breathwork facilitator, retreat host, and weaver of sacred community circles. Each role emerged organically, shaped by lived experience rather than ambition. Healing was no longer something I sought—it became something I embodied and shared.
At the heart of my work is the creation of safe, intentional spaces where people can soften, be seen, and lay down their armor. In a world that often demands strength at the cost of authenticity, I believe vulnerability is revolutionary. My work is rooted in nurturing, guiding, and holding others as they remember who they are beneath the noise and conditioning.
Outside of my formal offerings, I craft holistic handmade products and work as a nanny—roles that further reflect my devotion to care, presence, and stewardship. I have always been called to nurture. Being part of people’s “tribes,” fostering connection, and building community is what I cherish most. Healing, after all, is not meant to be done alone.
This journey has been anything but linear. It has been filled with grief and grace, pain and peace, endings and rebirths. It has required faith, surrender, and trust in divine timing. Through it all, I have learned that freedom is not the absence of hardship—it is the ability to meet life with openness, resilience, and love.
What once broke me ultimately built me. And today, I stand grounded in purpose, devoted to helping others navigate their own return home.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It has not been an easy road—
it has been a sacred one.
I have walked through seasons where survival was the only prayer I knew.
Through the fog of addiction, where I searched for relief in places that only deepened the ache.
Through the devastation of overdose—watching love slip through my hands in ways no heart is ever prepared for.
I have grieved deeply, losing those I loved not once, but repeatedly. Learning how absence can echo louder than presence,
how mourning reshapes you from the inside out.
My body has known trauma intimately.
A violent car accident left me suspended between worlds, followed by years of physical pain that taught me patience, surrender, and reverence for breath.
I have survived violation, carrying the quiet weight of sexual assault—
learning to reclaim safety, autonomy, and trust within my own skin.
There were times when my path made others uncomfortable. When choosing healing, spirituality, and truth meant being misunderstood, dismissed, or outcasted.
Walking away from familiar identities required standing alone, anchored only by faith in what I felt, even when no one else could see it yet.
I built my life and my work from the ground up— weaving community where there once was isolation, creating stability while learning how to love myself again.
Not the hardened version forged by survival,
but the soft, sovereign self that emerged when I finally chose wholeness.
This road has been marked by loss, pain, and relentless initiation—
but it has also been illuminated by resilience, devotion, and grace.
Every struggle became a teacher.
Every breaking, an invitation to return home.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I am a space holder in simplest terms but it is so much more than that.
My work lives at the intersection of healing, remembrance, and community.
I create intentional spaces where people can soften—where the nervous system can exhale, where armor is gently laid down,
and where the body is invited back into trust.
I specialize in guiding others home to themselves through embodied somatic practices rooted in presence and reverence. Yoga is the foundation, but the work extends far beyond the mat. I weave together Reiki, ancestral healing, intuitive guidance, sound healing, and breathwork to support deep, sustainable transformation. Each offering is curated with care, honoring the wisdom of the body and the unseen layers that shape our lived experience.
At the heart of my work is restoration—
restoring connection to the body, to lineage,
to intuition, and to community.
I facilitate circles and retreats designed to dissolve isolation and awaken belonging. In these spaces, healing is not rushed or forced; it is witnessed, held, and allowed to unfold naturally. I believe healing happens most powerfully when we are seen without needing to perform, fix, or prove.
Beyond facilitation, I am a steward of community. I build containers rooted in safety, integrity, and trust—spaces where vulnerability becomes strength and authenticity is celebrated. Whether through one-on-one sessions, group experiences, or handcrafted holistic offerings, my work is guided by devotion rather than doctrine.
This is not work I do to people.
It is work I do with them.
I simply hold the doorway.
They walk themselves through.
How do you think about luck?
If good luck has played a role in my business, it has arrived as alignment rather than chance.
Opportunities didn’t appear because I chased them—they emerged when I committed fully to my healing and stayed devoted to my path. Teachers appeared at the exact moment I was ready to listen. Doors opened not through force, but through resonance. The right people found me when my energy shifted from striving to trust.
What some might call luck showed up as timely invitations, unexpected yeses, and intuitive nudges I chose to follow. It was the studio that welcomed me before I felt “ready.” The community that gathered before I believed I deserved to lead. The clients who trusted me early on, allowing my work to root itself through relationship rather than reputation.
There were moments of divine orchestration—when one conversation led to a collaboration, when a single class turned into a circle, when a quiet offering became a full room. Each step felt less like coincidence and more like confirmation.
Luck, for me, has been the result of listening.Of showing up consistently.
Of honoring integrity over immediacy.
I met grace halfway by choosing courage, presence, and devotion even when the outcome was uncertain. In that space, the universe responded generously.
So yes, good luck has played a role—but only because I was willing to trust the unfolding.
