Welcome to Creative Balance Health, the sanctuary for every middle-aged woman who feels overwhelmed by fatigue, digestive issues, and weight challenges. I’m Claire Stanley, and I’ve walked in your shoes. Here, we believe in a personalized approach, because your health journey is uniquely yours.
My culinary passion began in the scenic landscapes of New England. We embraced farm-to-table dining, delighting in fresh, unprocessed meals crafted with love. Yet, my upbringing bore a painful secret. My parents, Holocaust survivors, brought home unseen scars. Their trauma had a profound impact on my health, leading to numerous health challenges.
In my subsequent years, navigating the demanding world of advertising and media further deteriorated my health. Pushed by ambition and driven by societal norms, I ignored the toll it was taking. By my early 40s, I faced a barrage of health and personal challenges. Fatigue was a constant companion, no diet seemed to help, and I felt trapped in a downward spiral.
It wasn’t until my health took a disastrous plunge that I sought answers beyond conventional wisdom. This journey led me to discover I had “Adrenal Fatigue”, a “leaky gut”, hormonal imbalances, and food sensitivities. Although I found some relief, the sheer amount of information and lack of continuous support left me feeling lost once again.
My struggles, however, were not in vain. They led me to comprehensive thyroid testing, which revealed a Hypothyroid diagnosis. This was a revelation, teaching me the value of detailed, accurate health assessments.

Determined to make a difference, I decided to pivot my career and immerse myself in the world of holistic health. I earned my Holistic Health Coaching certification from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition®, became a Hormone Cure Coach®, and went on to get certified as a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® Practitioner (FDN-P). I was equipped to help others navigate their health challenges. My focus now lies in assisting midlife, entrepreneurial women regain control of their health, so they can thrive in every aspect of their lives.

My Mission is to support women to develop self-compassion, become empowered, and feel validated with their health.
I believe the best way to feel like yourself again and get your energy back to return to what you enjoy, is to figure out what is going on with your body and mindset, so you can become more empowered and motivated to take care of your health.
In order to feel empowered and in control of your health, you need to cut through the overwhelm and understand what is causing you to not feel like yourself and recognize the patterns and obstacles that have gotten in your way so far. You need to have access to the appropriate diagnostic tests and tools. With self-love and patience, adopting personalized self-care strategies – involving diet, rest, exercise, stress reduction, and supplemental support – you can take back control of your energy, weight, and digestive health!
The inspiration behind Creative Balance Health stems from my personal journey of seeking balance amidst the chaos. Every individual is unique, and there’s no one-size-fits-all in health. I envisioned a place that embraces the diverse needs of each woman while providing them with a clear, sustainable path forward.
Today, my goal is to simplify your journey. No more second-guessing, no more feeling overwhelmed. At Creative Balance Health, we provide tailored strategies that cater to your specific needs, ensuring you achieve the vibrant health you deserve.
