1:1 mentorship with Claire Poho
Personalized, private sessions to meet you exactly where you are.
Lauren came to my breathwork sessions every week. She was two meters tall and took up almost no space at all. Arms clutched to her chest. A polite reserved voice. A little nervous laughter here and there.
One time, she was the only attendee. So I went a little off script and we started chatting.
She told me she’d signed up for a party but wasn’t feeling it. I felt there was more to it. So I paused there. Slowed the whole thing down. Grounded us both.
And emotion started coming up. It wasn't just "I don't want to leave the house". It was the anxiety of having to live in a world that was loud and unpredictable. It was existential.
The next morning she texted me:
As I got to know bits of her story, it all made perfect sense.
The depth of her gifts. And the depth of the terror that came with it.
She mentioned there was a time when she used to be extremely sensitive, picking up on people's emotions and energy in ways that didn't make sense. She'd feel something as if it were crystal clear — but others didn't notice. It confused her and terrified her, so she shut it all down. And spent years fighting herself, on one hand trying to figure out the human experience and have fun, but on the other, trying to disappear in a body and a world she didn't feel safe in.
So she struggled to function both inside the body and the world. She was shy, skinny and broke. She confessed to me that at one point before starting to work with me, she had $7 in her bank account and an apartment full of cockroaches.
But she felt she needed to work with me and found a way to make it happen.
A month later, she was living in a penthouse apartment with a jacuzzi the size of a pool and the most stunning views from every window.
She threw a party in her gorgeous new apartment. I got there early. And before others even arrived, she was already gone.
Physically she was there. But her spirit had left her body. The social anxiety had taken over and disassociation was her system's safety mechanism. I felt like I was at a party with no host. No one grounding the space, no one taking responsibility, people floating... I left early.
The next day, I met up with her to apologize. I told her I got annoyed because I organized my weekend to spend time with her — but, energetically, she wasn't even "home". I conceded that I maybe wasn't being the best coach while now also being a friend... But best practices aside, I just wanted to be the best human I could be in a given situation; hence, full honesty.
We had a beautiful chat — possibly the the most proactive and transparent conversation she'd ever had. And as I described what I'd witnessed happening energetically throughout the party — her leaving her body, people sensing it unconsciously, me withdrawing, someone else stepping in to fill the host void — she was nodding and tracking it all with me. She had felt it all. She'd just never had the maps nor the language for it.
And then a couple weeks later, she sent me this:
She was no longer invisible.
She'd go to a picnic and come back home to Instagram DMs from strangers:
"I just needed to reach out. Your energy was so magnetic."
Men were cooking for her and either flying across the world to see her, or flying her over, inviting her to stay, all expenses paid. Just to be in her energy.
The third month of working with me, she made five figures in her business for the first time. On top of that, an investor came out of nowhere, pumped in a bunch of cash, and told her to hire some employees and take it easier.
That summer, I took her to a festival. She had become a dear friend. And as I saw she'd broken out of her shy shell, and was ready to experience the fullness of life, I was excited for her to meet my friends and experience the magic together.
She told me over and over she would have never been able to come to a festival like that before, let alone enjoy herself. She would have been overwhelmed and terrified from sheerly seeing the amount of people. But here she was, having a blast making new friends every day. The same woman who once sat with me for two hours processing her terror about going to a party. The same woman who checked out from her own party.
The last time I saw her was at women’s circle I organized. As soon as she entered, her presence shifted the energy in the room. The woman who used to fold herself into corners was now claiming her space and her power. Her full two meters. And when she later shared her truth with the women, everyone was deep in thought, asking questions, and literally taking notes. In those two hours, she changed these women’s lives. When I reflected it back to her she said:
"You showed me what was possible. That I didn't have to keep living with the pain and the struggle. That there was another way. And I will be eternally grateful to you for that."
This isn't therapy. And it's much more than just coaching.
It's a space for you to explore and embrace the deepest depths of yourself, so you can finally embody your fullness — your depth and your height — and command the room with your presence.
It’s real connection — where you practice relating, communicating, giving, and receiving. I don't just "coach clients"; I build real relationships with people.
Helen, a client in her late fifties, once put it simply:
"I’ve done a lot of therapy over the years, Claire. This is different. It's a real relationship. There's rapport."
And that makes all the difference.
Most coaching or therapy sessions start with: "What's going on?"
Not my sessions. Before you tell me about your week or the decision you can't make, we drop in together.
I guide you back into your body. To ground. To feel my support.
And something happens in those first ten minutes that makes the rest more powerful. You notice your abdomen is so tight you haven't taken a proper breath all day. Your mind slows down. What was urgent a minute ago kind of fades into the background.
By the time we actually start talking, you are in a different headspace. Nay - you're in your body! You're in your power. And maybe you've already answered that question you wanted to ask. Half the work is already done. Not through thinking or analyzing, but through landing back in your own power. Through felt connection. Through remembering your wholeness.
Sometimes, it's just these ten almost silent minutes that literally change a client's life:
What happens in a session
What happens after depends on what's in the space.
Sometimes it looks like coaching. You tell me what's going on. I reflect things back to you. Ask you questions. Maybe I share a story or a perspective. And something clicks. We notice a pattern or a limiting belief that's been running your life. Suddenly, you can't unsee it — why you keep struggling with the thing, why the same situation keeps finding you...
Sometimes I stop you mid-sentence. Because I feel something underneath the words. An emotion that's been waiting a long time. So we pause and allow it to come up. Not because I decided we should. Because your nervous system has been begging for it. I hold space for whatever needs to happen so that your body can release it. You can scream, cry or shake if you need to; there is no judgment. Only love.
Sometimes we play with awareness and energy. I use my intuition to guide you to feel different things or use your awareness in different ways. I guide you to an energetic quality your system needs the most in the moment or teach you practices you can later do alone.
Sometimes, you come in with no issues or questions. Like Wendy who joined our first session doing great. She was about to get married. I started feeling into her field and asked some questions. And what we uncovered wasn't crisis, but there was depletion. And an ever so subtle pattern of making sure everyone else was okay. She'd been trying to orchestrate the perfect wedding experience for each family member — thinking of everyone but herself. So we spent the entire session filling her cup. And she had a tremendous wedding!
"I could physically feel the energy filling up my body, like a measuring cup — and then overflowing. Claire helped me realize I have access to that power within me at any point of the day."
Sometimes, we may go very, very deep. Not necessarily because you decided it was time to heal your ancestral trauma. But because your system finally feels safe and supported enough to access what's been buried so deep you didn't even know was there.
Like that time years ago when I was on a call with my own coach. It started rather casually; I was talking about a job offer. He interrupted me: "Something's clearly off with this guy who offered it to you. Otherwise why wouldn't you feel safe trusting him?"
And I blurted out: "Because I don't feel safe around any man?"
It just came out of me. I didn't know this was hiding inside, running my life until that moment.
The terror was unspeakable. I was shocked. I froze and couldn't say a single word for the rest of that call, just trembled.
We sat like this for three days. I was barely functioning in between, sleepwalking through my days trembling, pale as a ghost, hoping no one would ask me anything. The depth of the terror didn't make any logical sense; I didn't experience anything that terrifying in this lifetime? My only explanation was it must have been from a previous one.
This was undoubtedly one of the hardest experiences of my life. But I'm so grateful for it, because on the other side of it, everything changed.
The terror that had been quietly running my life and ruining my joy — impacting my confidence, my self-expression, my ability to receive love and interact with the male population at large... was just gone. And eventually, I was able to meet my dream partner: a strong, masculine, fiery man — exactly the type that would have absolutely terrified me before! But now, I was able to stay open, receive his attention, and build a relationship that friends and strangers alike admire.
None of this would have ever been possible, had I not gone to this depth inside of me.
None of this would have ever happened, had I not cultivated a relationship of trust with someone who could hold such safe space for me.
And this is the kind of space and the kind of relationship that I am offering you: one where you can touch your deepest terror and express your most unhinged desires. You'll be witnessed, held, celebrated, encouraged, and loved, deeply loved, through all of it.
What this work does
This work transforms every area of your life.
You already saw what happened with Lauren: the money, the apartment, the business, the invites, the relationships, the impact, the joy of finally feeling good in her own skin...
And it doesn't stop there.
This work impacts all of your relationships, not just romantic ones. Take Lesly, who was struggling with her adult daughter. She was trying to cut contact, as interactions felt unsafe and destabilizing to her nervous system; she felt attacked, even while she was extending help. So she'd asked for space but that wasn't received either. She felt angry, hurt, and disrespected and didn't know what else to do. A couple days after our very first session, she sent me this message:
Blanca, too, was at a standstill in a relationship: she was completely done with her marriage, said she wanted a divorce multiple times, but her husband didn't take her seriously — convinced she just wanted a break, that she'd come around. After a couple months of working with me, she finally found the voice and the power to make herself heard, and to get herself out of a situation where she'd spent years feeling completely shut down, unseen, and exhausted.
Then there's Joch, who lost 10 pounds in one month during which we worked together intensively. He didn't change his diet. He didn't start exercising. But he did let go of a lot of emotional weight he was carrying. So his body let it go too.
But there's also Helen, whose biggest win wasn't shiny or measurable. For the first time in fifty years, she started to feel like maybe nothing was inherently wrong with her after all. She'd share things with me she'd never said out loud. And I'd say: I know that feeling. I've been there too. She'd end many calls with: "Thank you for sharing that Claire. I truly thought it was just me."
She's the one who said this work was different from therapy because there was real rapport. And that's just the thing — being analyzed by a clinician won't get you out of self-flagellation or thinking that only you are uniquely f**ked up like that. But when a real human tells you, "hey, I've been there too"? That, in fact, every human feels some version of that? You can stop blaming yourself, hiding, and spiraling in shame. And a new space opens up.
When you do this work, all your relationships start transforming: men, lovers, friends, colleagues, clients, family, annoying neighbors... Your relationship to yourself. Your relationship to your body. To your power. Your self-expression. To the divine, God, or your "destiny" — if you care. Your relationship with money. With your creativity. With the life you thought wasn't available to you.
That's what happens when you finally feel safe enough to be fully yourself and feel your own essence.
