Meet Hayley & Claire

Together, Claire Uhlich and Hayley Dickinson bring a unique and powerful combination of expertise to their work. With Hayley's background in scientific research and lived experience with chronic illness, and Claire’s expertise in holistic counselling, we blend the worlds of science, health theory, introspection, and emotional healing. Our shared vision is to guide individuals through a journey that is as evidence-based as it is deeply human, providing an environment where both the mind and the heart are honoured. This dynamic partnership allows us to create transformative experiences that nurture growth, alignment, and true wellbeing.

Hi, I'm Hayley.

Here is my elevator pitch: I bridge the knowledge gap between health theory and the lived experience, especially for people falling through the cracks of our healthcare and wellness industries. I challenge the superficial solutions sold to us, advocating for a deeper inquiry into ourselves and our lives. I believe true healing begins with curiosity, understanding how our body 'works' and introspection, and it ends with the courage to address what we uncover.

My personal journey through chronic illness, and learning that I am a reflector (human design), reshaped my entire approach to life and work. With over 15 years of experience in scientific research, including a PhD on the effects of stress during pregnancy, I once thrived in academia—publishing widely, leading a lab, and mentoring the next generation of researchers.

However, the mounting pressure and growing misalignment with my values began to take a toll. An invitation to work within the pharmaceutical industry brought this to a head, and I realised that true health and wellbeing were not the priorities for these organisations. At the same time, I faced my own health challenges—anxiety, exhaustion, heart palpitations—and conventional medicine had few answers. This set me on a new path of self-advocacy and healing.

Leaving academia behind, I became the Scientific Advisor for Endota Spa, where I witnessed the gap between controlled scientific research and the complexities of real life. Women’s health, in particular, lags decades behind due to a lack of research. I wanted to do more.

I founded Eat for You, Australia’s first nutrient-tested food company, to begin addressing the misalignment I saw in food integrity and people's quest for health. After closing it due to costs exceeding market cap, I realised I had more to offer, but it needed to be more holistic.

During a period of deep reflection, I co-founded The Art & Science of Transformation, an immersive program designed to help individuals bridge the gap between health theory and lived experience. It was during this time that I discovered my Reflector nature in Human Design. Understanding that I was designed without a fixed personal purpose helped me see my true role—not as someone without direction, but as someone uniquely positioned to reflect, guide, and serve others.
The blend of science and the art of being human and working alongside the beautiful soul Claire is where I feel most at home, supporting others in finding alignment and living authentically.

Now, living simply on acreage and homeschooling my daughter, I continue to explore diverse healing modalities, balancing scientific knowledge with lived experience. I encourage others to take radical responsibility for their health, using curiosity and introspection as the keys to unlocking true healing.

Hi, I'm Claire!

 I’ve spent years exploring the human psyche, driven by a natural passion and curiosity that have shaped the framework I now use with my clients as a holistic counsellor. Like all of us, I’m on my own journey of evolution, always seeking ways to grow and transform through whatever I face in life. This journey has led me to embrace holistic healing for the mind, body, and spirit.

In the past, I owned and ran a holistic wellness centre, which allowed me to dive deeper into this work. During that time, I also taught transformational yoga and became a self-published author of Raw Transformation. These experiences have provided me with a gentle yet profound approach to guiding others in evolving their spirit, body, and mind.

Currently, my focus lies in working as a holistic counsellor, offering nurturing methods to help clients through significant change while supporting them in feeling more integrated and composed in their emotional state. My work is centred around helping people reconnect with their true selves, embracing every part of their journey to find wholeness and healing. My focus areas include integrating the spirit, body, and mind through intimate one-on-one sessions and group workshops.

I am a mother of two daughters, who inspire me to keep evolving and transforming so that I can light the path of transformation for them. Hayley and I share this insatiable desire to bring more light to the world. Together, we offer a balanced perspective on what it means to be a spiritual human. We dance through life in harmony, both deeply understanding the importance of personal accountability.
