the heart of her healing approach at numi a journey rooted in connection and healing clyre s story begins in reading but she grew up in the serene surroundings of bath in a hardworking and thoughtful family while her family leaned towards logical scientific thinking clyre was always more attuned to the intuitive and emotional aspects of life from an early age she sensed that there was more to the

experience covering sociology psychology and physiology and included diverse placements across various specialities it was here that clyre s curiosity deepened particularly in human psychology and the
