Formerly Claudia Hall
Personal Biography
For over twenty-six years, Claudia has worked as a psychotherapist dealing primarily with individuals who experienced abusive situations in their life circumstances. From these marvelous people, she learned much about the "human condition" and the resilient nature of the human spirit. Claudia's work combined with her love of art and her passionate involvement with the creative process led her on a personal journey of self-discovery resulting in a deepening awareness of the "spiritual condition." While on sabbatical from her private practice, Claudia diligently, actively, and determinedly pursued her own psycho-spiritual exploration. This remarkable life experience propelled her onward to yet another opportunity for creative expression and Divine Connection.Through this wondrous, yet ordinary development of connection, many lessons were learned and many, many messages were and continue to be received. These communiques, clearly intended for all, resulted in the creation and presentation of Messages From The Light.
In 2009, Claudia resumed her private practice. She continues to write daily and recently completed a fascinating spiritual, fiction book called The Book of Ages: The Peaceful Transition which is presently being delivered in serial format, one chapter per week via Constant Contact.

Professional Background
A Licensed Professional Counselor, Claudia holds a Master's degree in Psychology and has been in private practice for over 26 years. Before entering the private sector, she worked at a major university and also gained valuable training and experience through several agency settings. She works primarily with women who come from abusive backgrounds and also leads many psychotherapy groups including general and theme based groups. Claudia particularly enjoys assisting individuals in gaining self-empowerment over their specific issues. Her approach is gentle, but challenging allowing the client to be her/his own leader.
For many, childhood issues inflict endless ramifications, yet Claudia firmly believes there is a natural progression to the healing process that allows for compassionate and effective recovery. Through traditional psychotherapy and a psycho-spiritual approach, for those who desire to work at that level, a deeper understanding and healing is possible.
Claudia's interest in alternative healing methods led her to pursue training in energy work, Healing Touch, and the Usui tradition of Reiki. She is an accomplished Reiki Master blending energy techniques with traditional psychotherapy resulting in a gentile, harmonious approach to self-discovery and self-actualization.

Spiritual Transition
In
the late 1990s, Claudia was overwhelmed with an inner
awareness that she was “here for a reason”. The intensity of this
new awareness led her to seek answers regarding her then-present
circumstances, future possibilities, and the path she was to follow to
discover her reason for being. Claudia ultimately learned this urgent
need to move onward was what many refer to as a “calling”. At the
time, she had no idea that “this calling” would culminate in a decision
to close her life’s work as a psychotherapist and leave friends and
family to pursue a lifestyle that she had never anticipated.
Claudia traveled for almost seven years in response to this inner calling and continues to be propelled by it even now. She has returned to Austin and reestablished her practice offering both traditional psychotherapy, as well as, psycho-energetic therapy. She continues to write daily, as is her calling, and shares messages via the Internet on a weekly basis.
