Her Journey
With a background in opera, dance and performance, she spent many years on stage and in artistic education across Europe, including the Netherlands and London. Her work has always been rooted in expression, presence and the emotional power of the voice — a foundation that continues to shape everything she does today.
Her path later expanded naturally into working more closely with people. What began with moderating cultural events and exhibitions in Mallorca led her to discover her vocation as a celebrant. Since then, she has been creating and leading personalised ceremonies — from weddings to farewells — with warmth, depth and authenticity.
Alongside this, Claudia works as a vocal coach and teacher, developing her own approach to voice and expression. She also works as a photographer, capturing genuine moments and human connection in a natural and intuitive way.
She speaks seven languages and works with clients from all over the world, creating experiences that move across cultures with ease.
In recent years, her focus has expanded into Animal Assisted Interventions, combining her professional training (CECTAC, Barcelona) with her interdisciplinary background in communication, pedagogy and the arts. Her work supports emotional wellbeing in healthcare and social environments, always guided by sensitivity, presence and deep respect — for both people and animals.
Living in Mallorca for over two decades, Claudia works independently while staying deeply connected to nature and animals. Her beloved dog Thor, who was by her side for 15 years, became a turning point in her life and a profound source of inspiration. Through him, she experienced first-hand the depth of the human–animal bond — a connection that ultimately led her to her work in Animal Assisted Interventions.
Today, her dog Cherie continues this path alongside her, accompanying her daily life and work.
Claudia is also actively involved in animal welfare initiatives in Mallorca and is the founder of the NGO “You Touch Africa”, supporting humanitarian projects in Tanzania.
