Where complexity meets clarity — and connection sparks change
Welcome to Igniting Clarety
I’m Clare, an occupational therapist, mentor, and educator passionate about helping people see challenges in a new light. Whether you’re a professional seeking fresh perspective, an organization building stronger teams, or a caregiver navigating the unknown, this is a place to find the tools, confidence, and support you need.
Here, we combine evidence-based practice with a human touch, grounded in neuro-affirming, trauma-sensitive, relationship-focused approaches. From mentorship and collaborative planning to professional development and tailored training, my goal is simple: help you feel equipped, inspired, and ready to make a lasting impact.
So grab a coffee, settle in, and let’s start sparking the clarity that leads to real, meaningful change.
Why Igniting Clarety Came to Be
Igniting Clarety grew out of my work as an occupational therapist (OT), where my passion has always been helping people find their way through complex situations. Through relationship building, education, and collaboration, I’ve witnessed how the right support can turn uncertainty into confidence, not only for children and families, but for the professionals and communities who walk alongside them. My goal has always been to bring clarity that fosters stronger connections and more supportive communities.
The name carries a double meaning. “Igniting Clarety” speaks to the heart of my work, sparking understanding, illuminating challenges, and opening the door to new perspectives, while also weaving in my own name, Clare, making it both personal and purposeful.
At its core, this work is about more than strategies or plans. It’s about advocacy, compassion, and ensuring that those who often feel unseen or unheard are truly supported. It’s about creating safe spaces, building meaningful relationships, and moving forward together. That’s why the name felt not just fitting, but inevitable.
Mission
At Igniting Clarety, our mission is to be family-focused and child-centred in everything we do, grounding our work in research, neuro-affirming practices, trauma sensitivity, sensory-friendly approaches, cultural respect, and the unwavering belief in presuming competence.

By illuminating fresh perspectives, holding space for others, fostering meaningful connections, and celebrating even the smallest wins, we create safe, supportive environments where everyone feels seen, heard, understood, and valued.
