Founders, Claire and Lucy.

Claire and Lucy are both coaches, facilitators and mothers, doing their best to create the life and work they love alongside having a family.

They are also both fiercely passionate about supporting women to be their brightest, fullest, most capable selves. You may have noticed, they share a surname – this is because Claire is married to Lucy’s cousin, Rod.

Our Facilitators & Coaches

Claire Fry is an Executive Coach, Culture Change Consultant and Workshop Facilitator through her own business, Pale Blue Coaching. With a background in change and programme management in the Financial Services Sector, Claire first entered the world of work at the age of 18, working in International Investment for a French firm in Paris, before moving to Edinburgh for University.

Always fascinated by the world of work, Claire shifted her focus from risk & compliance to culture & coaching in 2013. She wanted to understand what makes businesses tick, how human behaviour sets the stage for success (or disaster) in the workplace, and what truly inspires people to be at their best –  whether part of a large organisation or as an entrepreneur.

Claire works together with her clients, applying listening, creativity and intuition to support them in realising their innate capabilities; drawing out their best to release their potential so they can achieve their goals and authentically live their purpose. She lives in South London where she runs her own juggling act, with huge support from her husband, in-house IT & emotional support, branding guru and all-round juggling partner, Rod and their wee son.

Lucy Fry is a freelance Coach, Author and Journalist. When she is not writing or co-facilitating workshops for The Juggling Act she runs her own coaching business, Black Flamingo.

In the last decade Lucy has published hundreds of articles about physical fitness and mental health across various print and online media; been a columnist at Sunday Telegraph and Easy Jet Traveller Magazine and; travel editor for Diva Magazine. She has also written widely about more personal topics such as addiction, same-sex parenting and becoming a non-biological mother.

Lucy is currently studying Integrative Transpersonal Counselling & Psychotherapy and has a Foundation Certificate in the Psychotherapeutic Arts. She enjoys incorporating elements of art therapy and transpersonal thinking into her coaching. She lives in South London with her wife and son and loves yoga, lifting heavy weights and working on her handstand!
