Clare Benka

Clare's career path might appear eclectic, but wellbeing has been the consistent thread. She has always loved movement and sport, but having studied psychology, she began her working life in recruitment, then management consultancy and training. A few years in and she felt her first ‘nudge’ from God to use movement and her hands to bring healing.  She joined her church staff team whilst studying a range of manual therapies, biomechanics and physical fitness (including Level 3 Personal Training). She spent the next 10 years working with full-time athletes, exhausted desk workers and the chronically ill. During this period came her second ‘nudge’, which was to create a restorative movement sequence focused on scripture. She began to explore ideas, but then started a family and moved abroad with her husband. Several years later (and quite by chance), Clare heard about Psalms & Stretches, and was delighted to see that the vision had been brought to life through Ruth, in such a beautiful format! Psalms & Stretches is the ideal vehicle to bring together so many of Clare’s existing skills and we are so pleased to have her on team!
