Claudette began her journey into coaching in 1999 when she hired her first personal coach. A burned-out social worker, she couldn’t imagine feeling satisfied with her work. Guided by her coach, Claudette explored career options, and in just a few months time, she recognized that coaching ignited her passions for human development and powerful living.

Prior to launching her company MetaVoice, Inc. in 2000, Claudette worked in the public and private sectors for ten years, specializing in leadership and program development, consulting and training.

Outside of running her coaching business, Claudette’s passions are her son Ethan, and enjoying her relationships with friends and family. She is also a Pilates devotee, workout buff, and lover of a good murder mystery. She balances her “doing” with a rich spiritual life.

And every morning she wakes up excited to go to work!
