Meet the heart behind Eden Kinesiology: Claire McGougan

For years, I worked as a secondary school PE and Geography teacher. While I loved working with people, there came a point where I knew my heart wasn’t fully in education anymore. I had two young children, a growing feeling that I was meant to be doing something different, and then came a major shoulder reconstruction that completely changed the direction of my life.

What should have been a straightforward recovery became months of simply not feeling well. At the time, I thought the shoulder was the problem, but deep down, I knew it went far beyond that. Looking back now, it’s crazy  to think how normal I had allowed feeling exhausted, flat, and disconnected from my body to become.

Once I decided I was going to change that, my tenacity took over. I became determined to understand what was really going on and started exploring the bigger picture of how the body functions and adapts. This journey ultimately led me to the transformative world of functional kinesiology, where I found the answers I was looking for.
