Hello there

I'm Claire Hall, coach and founder of Authentic Empowerment. 

Early on in my career, I learned that when you step into your power, you can achieve anything.

In my early 20s, I was working for my dad in his business in Folkestone, England. I was agonizing over whether to leave my home and family and move permanently to Australia. The year before, while travelling, the country had cracked me open with its lightness. But it meant leaving almost everyone and everything I loved behind.

I made friends with a French girl, and she recommended I talk to her friend who had just started a life coaching business. One cold, pitch-black winter evening, I rang the guy. The advice was good, but the delivery was not. He asked me whether I was a strong enough person to go and live my own life. I hated the confrontation. I was horrified that he wanted me to talk to him about my ideas and struggles. I wasn’t ready to hear his words and I was unable to hear the truth.

I was always going to return to Australia, though, and here, in this country filled with so much potential, I learned how to step into my power, face my fears, and grow into my authentically empowered self.

I realised I could help others do the same, but I didn’t want them to have the same coaching experience I went through back in England. I understood there was a skill to gently finding the truth with someone in a way they can hear and embrace it. 

Today, my coaching and healing processes are dedicated to your success. I listen to what you say, and what you can’t always articulate. Throughout every session I am committed to uncovering your unique strengths and fostering opportunities to learn more about yourself and what is important to you.

You can reconnect to your authentic self. 

You can build a life based on your unique approach to success and happiness.

My life

Back in 2002, I bought a paperback book from a tiny pop-up store in Byron Bay, Australia which changed the trajectory of my life. The Road Less Travelled by M Scott Peck opened my eyes to the possibility of a new authentic life, where I didn’t need to people-please, quieten my voice, or play small in the world. My journey involved permanent relocation to Australia from the UK, a decade of homesickness, facing my darkest fears and reconciling negative habits, before growing into myself through the art of surrender.

Was it worth it? Absolutely! And I’m still learning. But I step fully into the arena of life as myself, the authentically empowered me. 

As a mother of two gorgeous soccer crazy boys, wife to a super busy husband, best friend to Happy and Aura (my fur babies), active school mum, Emotional Wellness Brigade volunteer and as a Primary Ethics volunteer teacher, I know the importance of energy management and self-reflection. 

I rely upon my inner voice to keep me grounded and dedicated to my purpose and highest good. I practice what I preach with constant personal growth and awareness. I delve deep into my spiritual journey and surround myself with teachers and resources on a daily basis.

I love helping people become authentically empowered to live their fullest life. We only have one life, and it’s an amazing and challenging time to be alive. What's not to embrace?
