About Miriam's Well

Miriam is known by history as the sister of Moses ~ she drew him from the Nile as a baby when he was set adrift in a basket in ancient times.  When the Hebrew slaves were freed by Moses, which is commemorated by the Jewish festival of Passover, they wandered in the desert for forty years. Miriam went with them as Chief Midwife and healer, bringing each new generation into the world.  She was very devoted to her brother's teachings of freedom and responsibility.  In reward for her service to the Hebrew nation, she was given a well, which followed them as they crossed the desert sands. It became known as a source of respite, healing and comfort over the centuries, for indeed it sustained this great people in the darkest of times.  Today Miriam's Well continues to be a symbol of healing in the modern era, a place where all are welcome, to rest and cleanse, to learn and grow, and to be replenished.  That is why I connect with it so deeply - Miriam is also my middle name.

About Claire

I came from the Midwest in 1996, seeking an acting career. Through my own trials and tribulations, I traveled through the New York scene, working mostly in the corporate and legal worlds. Though I studied esoteric healing and spiritual paths for 20 years,  something was missing.  In 2004, I discovered Reiki and its impact was immediate. I sought out the best teachers and most in-depth study I could find.  I became a graduate of the Reiki Master program at the Reiki Arts Continuum, the only two-year course in the country, which required over 400 hours of class and practicum work.  I then received my Reiki Master Teacher certification in traditional Japanese methods and history from the International House of Reiki out of Australia.  I am also able to utilize my BA in Psychology from the University of Michigan, my certification in Spiritual Counseling and as an Interfaith Minister woven together, for the benefit of all my clients and students. 
My goal is to bring the best methods, history and guidance, along with a blend of Eastern tradition and Western innovation, to Miriam's Well.  I hope to be of service to you.
Blessings, Claire
