Claudia has handled the entire process exceptionally, every step of the way was done in a gentle and supportive way. I am incredibly grateful that I had the opportunity to receive these counseling sessions, and receive Claudia’s guidance on issues that I have been tackling recently. She is phenomenal at what she does, and is perfectly suited to this career path. Claudia has been such a calming guiding presence throughout this process, and without her I would not have gotten to the light bulb moments I had, which have greatly helped my self healing journey. Her energy and insights were just what I needed, and she was infinitely more helpful than any therapy sessions I have had in the past even with psychologists, I found her approach significantly more helpful than I’ve had in many years of therapy, of which I’ve had many, as I have had significant trauma to work through in recent years. She asked all the right questions, with such a gentle approach, and gave such insightful and encouraging comments and guidance. I have made so much progress and have reached a light at the end of the tunnel moment of stability in my process, and she has facilitated perfectly in a way that I very much needed.

Claudia's webinar on teacher burnout was outstanding. I found it to be engaging, insightful and highly relevant to the realities teachers face today. What stood out most was her ability to move beyond theory and provide authentic, real-life examples that resonated with teachers at every stage of their careers.

The session was filled with practical, realistic strategies that can be implemented immediately to improve wellbeing, manage workload, and maintain a healthy balance between professional and personal responsibilities. Claudia's authentic approach, combined with her expertise, created a supportive environment that encouraged reflection and growth.

I left the webinar feeling inspired and equipped with valuable tools that I can apply in both my professional and personal life. It was a powerful reminder of the importance of prioritising our own wellbeing so that we can continue to give our best to our students. I would highly recommend this webinar to any educator looking for practical, sustainable ways to prevent burnout and thrive in the teaching profession.

I am writing to offer my wholehearted recommendation for Claudia, who recently completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with us.

Throughout the course, Claudia showed deep dedication, a strong sense of presence, and genuine care for her students, all qualities that I believe make her a wonderful addition to any teaching space. From the start of the program to its conclusion, Claudia showed the most noticeable growth in the group. She approached every practice and teaching opportunity with curiosity, openness and warmth.

Every class Claudia taught was gentle, thoughtful, and inclusive of all her students. She has a natural ability to make each student feel welcome and seen. Her sequences are well planned and delivered with grounded energy and she brings a nurturing and steady presence into the room. Overall, she really creates a safe and supportive space for all bodies and levels.

I am confident that Claudia will bring warmth and integrity to her teaching in any setting. She would be a wonderful for any community they would be fortunate to have her, and I have no doubt that her students will feel well cared for under her guidance.

Warm regards,

Thanks Claudia

Today's ‘Beat Burnout” workshop was very worthwhile and a reminder that we need to stop and reflect on mindfulness.

Great content and well delivered!

Superb workshop! Well done and thank you !

I wish you had heard the comments afterwards.

The discussion was what people were going to do to destress. All agreed it was incredibly useful. 60% of the staff are young IT developers and had never been to such a workshop so it was new to them. 😊I personally gained lots of insight from it.

Hi Claudia

I truly believe that your superpower is not recognizing your own strengths. You were incredible this morning, and your entire class demonstrated such creativity. I wish there were a way for you to see your class from our perspective. 

From introducing new ideas to executing them in poses, everything just clicked. 

It has been wonderful to be part of your yoga journey.

Claudia💖 Well done!

I really enjoyed your guided meditation and how you weaved the symbolism into the sequence. It created a reaffirmation of each of the things you said during the meditation.  I imagined being a point of focus from star to goddess like the pyramid visualization. I drew on my power of transformation during cobra and my inner power during sphynx. I know you said you had a malfunction at some point but honestly was deep in the visualization that I didn't notice it and enjoyed the moment of stillness.

I also really enjoyed the dynamic use of the mat and moving from one side to the other.

Thank you for much, it has been wonderful sharing this yoga teaching experience with you 🐍🐯🌈🌟🧘🏻‍♀️

Claudia💛

 I just want to say a huge congratulations on your amazing class! I wasn’t able to do the full flow because of work, but I watched in and joined for the meditation and grounding, and wow, you were incredible.

 Your meditation honestly transported me. I felt like I was at a retreat being guided by a seasoned professional. The way you spoke and the sound you chose took me even deeper into the place you asked us to visualize. It was so calming and powerful, such a gift.

 You should be so proud of yourself. I know you’re going to be a magical yoga teacher🥰🤗

Thank you so much for the yoga class. I loved every moment. The warm up was gently and well explained

The work we did today allowed for better breathing and more blood flow too

Your knowledge and passion are well appreciated and it allowed me to feel more comfortable and confident in the movement especially as I do have a compromised system, which you addressed at every opportunity. I’m sold! Where can I sign up?

The intention you set resonated so wonderfully with what I as an individual needed.

All the best for your exam and for the future with all that you set out to achieve.

Thank you so much for our yoga session Clauds! 🧘‍♀️

 I feel energetically rejuvenated (I was quite tired before we started).

I really enjoyed the flow and it hit all the right spots for me; the tension I was feeling in my spine has completely dissipated and feels lengthened 🍃!

 Your teaching style is very soothing and comforting. You hold space beautifully. Thank you again ♥️

I thoroughly enjoyed your Yoga class. I felt so calm, right from the moment go, and I feel so good now. My body has had a good stretch and workout, leaving me feeling refreshed and relaxed! Thank so much.

Thank you so much for today! I loved every minute - you have an incredible gift❤️

Thank you so much - I absolutely loved everything you had to say (and halfway through, I realized I wasn't writing it all down!!) So the eBook is so appreciated. You are a fantastic coach - gentle, but hitting you with the truth!! Looking forward to connecting with you again. x

Claudia, I wanted to say thank you so much for the presentation you did for our teachers. I took a lot away from it myself and I am finding myself often asking myself, am I in the moment, what else can I be grateful for and finally breathe among other things. The other members of staff that I spoke to were also grateful for the talk and showed appreciation for it. This is just another thank you.

Thank you also for the eBook, it is very helpful.

A big thank you to Claudia Pescivolo for the fruitful workshop for the staff team on ‘mindfulness and self-care’, where we were welcomed techniques on reducing stress and help guide towards a better headspace.

Thank you for a very informative Sleep Workshop for our team at Swagelok Southern Africa. Recovering from the Covid hangover has many of us out of balance from the stress and bad habits acquired over the period and just life in general. Sleep being one of the most affected areas. The team found this session interesting, helpful and enlightening.

We enjoyed the flexibility of the interactive online session that involved everyone. The prework was also great in preparing the team and making the session very relevant to everyone’s needs. We have had many ‘canteen chats’ following the workshop. The lessons learnt were taken to heart.

Thank you for your professional approach and expertly tackling a subject that is pertinent to everyone.

Kind regards,

I have known Claudia for close to eight years. In that time, she coached me for a period of time which assisted my personal growth as an individual immeasurably. She is an exceptional individual, always sees the positive side in any situation. Very diplomatic and non-judgemental, an absolute asset in any situation. I am privileged to know Claudia and call her a friend.

Finding focus in today’s world of distractions and information overload can be very daunting or downright untenable. Steering toward the path in life you want may seem like a dream destined to be out of reach forever. Not so.

Claudia provides a personalized approach to fine-tune your life’s ambitions and provide a sense of clarity in the cacophony that is 21st century life, and ensure that your past need never define your future.

Whether you are seeking a life coach to refine a path you’re already very happy with or to be your North Star from the get go, I highly recommend Claudia’s extensive experience to provide you with value and empower you with a step by step plan to turn your best life into palpable reality.

I am proud to share with you that Claudia has been a close friend of mine for over 30 years. Claudia's strengths are highlighted as follows; she is a person of integrity, trustworthy, supportive, analytical, actively listens and creative flare. Her experience in teaching and coaching is what makes her special.

I can confidently recommend Claudia for any undertaking that she does most especially where it involves people engagement and their personal wellbeing.

If I could sum her up in one statement: she exudes sunshine and warmth in her beautiful smile .

Yours in development

I have known Claudia Pescivolo for over 13 years. During that time, we have become good friends. I also worked with her on my personal goals when she was training to be a life coach some years back. She is an extremely positive and encouraging person and puts you at ease and is not judgemental in any way. Thank you for all your assistance and guidance.

I have known Claudia Pescivolo for over 15 years both as a friend and a colleague. She is kind and considerate and is a lifelong learner. Claudia pursues new avenues to extend and grow herself and uses these skills to benefit others. Her own life experiences have enabled her to become more insightful and empathetic towards others. Claudia is unassuming but is a good listener and has a steely determination. She is honest and shows perseverance even when the odds are stacked against her. She is a loyal and supportive friend and colleague and builds people up rather than down. She is hard working and is an asset to any organisation. I wish her success in all her future endeavours.
