SLP 538: A Mother’s Journey to Healing with Claire Holmes
n this heartfelt episode, Kim speaks with Claire Holmes who shares her remarkable journey from a nurturing childhood in country Victoria to becoming a health educator and functional nutritionist. Her story takes a profound turn when her second child is born prematurely and begins facing complex health challenges, sending the family on a long and emotionally exhausting search for answers. Claire opens up about the devastating experience of being misunderstood and even accused of child abuse, the financial strain that followed, and the heartbreak of watching her child suffer, before finally discovering that toxic mould in their home was at the root of her daughter’s illness.
Through adversity, Claire found strength in intuition, mindset, and the power of reframing her inner world. She speaks candidly about shifting from a victim based mindset into one of empowerment through neuro-wisdom practices and subconscious reprogramming. Claire explains how deeply held beliefs, formed in childhood, can shape our health and lived experiences, and how humour, patience, and persistence play an essential role in creating lasting change.
The conversation explores the courage it takes to be vulnerable, confront buried emotions and break old patterns. Claire shares how this inner work transformed not only her health, but her family’s life, leading her to homeschool her children for several years and teach them to trust their bodies rather than suppress symptoms with quick fixes. She reflects on her spiritual approach to healing, acceptance, and compassion, and how she now supports others as a functional nutritionist by educating clients and empowering them to trust their intuition.
Claire and Kim reflect on the ongoing challenge of balancing purpose driven work and motherhood, the power of zooming out to gain perspective, and the importance of leading with love, compassion, and self trust through life’s most challenging seasons.
About Claire
Claire Holmes is a New Biology Practitioner and Functional Nutritionist. She has undergone further study specifically in Neurowisdom, Isotropics, The Microbiome, Terrain Therapy, Yoga and Breathwork, Bioelectric Therapy and the Root Cause Protocol.
Claire grew up on a farm, living in the outdoors, eating nourishing food and growing up in a loving family with three older brothers. Claire loves surfing, camping, yoga, homeschooling her two children and the deep connected relationships in her life.
Life was very smooth and easy for her until she became a mother and then life took a turn. Claire believes that thanks to the trauma, hardships and struggles; she has become the person she is, with the wisdom she now has to share with the world. Without the bathroom floor moments, she believes she would not have grown spiritually and emotionally in the way that she has. Claire wouldn’t have discovered her life purpose. She would not have been forced to find real tools for healing and have connected with the incredible healing mentors she stumbled up around the world. It’s these experiences that have shaped her life and the path she is on now.
Claire now offers health consultations and holistic wellness support. She only treats YOU and your unique STORY. She is not concerned with a diagnosis, but more on how you feel and the journey that has led you to the symptoms you have. Two people can have identical symptoms; but the cause and healing path for these two people will possibly be completely different. Everyone’s health journey is completely unique. I will deeply listen!
What she hopes individuals will come to understand after working with her is that your body isn’t faulty and just randomly breaks down every so often. She helps you understand and embody a paradigm shift and understand that your body is a self-healing ecosystem that is always working to recreate balance, health and vitality. Symptoms are just the body’s way of communicating an important and timely message. They are either a protective response or part of the body’s process of trying to heal.
Your body is incredible; if it’s given what it truly needs it will heal and regain optimal health. Everything your body is doing is for you, not against you.
Her definition of Self Love is: Self-love is honouring who you are, being your true self in every moment and not trying to be anybody else. When you get to know yourself, life just works for you.
Her favourite quote is:
More smiling, less worry, more compassion, less judgement, more blessed, less stressed, more love, and less hate

Quotes:
I grew up in country Victoria in a very loving, blessed home.
I had a mother who was very intuitive. She just knew how to give us an upbringing that really nurtured our soul and our health.
For me, travelling was a real journey of just discovering who I was.
I was happy and enjoying life, really living life to the fullest.
Something flicked in me, and I knew that wasn’t our journey.
I sat on this hospital bed for 10 weeks and I meditated and visualised to keep this beautiful girl alive.
I got to the point where I doubted myself as a mother. I said maybe I shouldn’t be her mum.
My husband stepped in, and he was incredible and he just made me come back into my truth and trust him, he gave me the confidence to move forward and trust in what I was doing and keep searching for the answers.
When we make a decision in life things just come our way and then decided that that with my whole heart that I was going to keep on fighting.
Within two weeks of moving house, we had a new daughter.
My husband is probably one of the most positive men I know. He can see the bright side.
He helped me when I sort of lost the light to see the light again.
He honours the ground I walk on, and I honour the ground he walks on, and he made me rediscover my gifts again and the beautiful mother intuition that I had.
I was sitting in this place of victim consciousness. That life is happening to me and I am powerless.
Our mind is like a movie projector onto our world.
Whatever’s playing in our subconscious, we just project on the world to create our experience over and over again.
This work is the hardest work anyone will do.
We have to expose the illusion and recreate a new story.
To reprogram a mind takes a lot of time, commitment and a big sense of humour.
You have to dive in and know that being vulnerable is actually a strength.
It is not that you are broken. It is just your program that is controlling how you show up in the world.
Everyone is on their own unique journey and it is perfect for them.
Not everyone is ready to go deep. We have to surrender.
We don’t actually have to be friends with everyone.
We can move in different directions in our life and people flow in and out.
The right people come into our lives at the right time.
Whenever there is a symptom, the body is always talking to us.
I really want to shape their belief system and give them the best start to life.
I deeply listen to their bodies.
In homeschooling I could show them the fundamentals of health that I hope they come back to that when they have challenges in life.
I have two very wise kids that understand a lot about health and they are my biggest teachers.
I help empower people through understanding why that symptom has arisen and getting them to discover why that illness has happened.
If we block a healing process, the body will have to do it again. Often worse.
I see it as educating people to empower them.
Every event that happens, we get to choose how we react in every moment.
Be conscious on how you engage in the world, these events will keep happening,
If you have the same reaction, you will create the same outcome.
When you get to know yourself, life just works for you.
