The Team
Who We Are
Clare Birks
Co-Founder & Life Transformation Coach
I am a happily married mother of three, with a life full of experiences that fuel my passion for transformation and personal growth. From my time serving in the RAF to my journey through a career in change management, I’ve learned the value of resilience, adaptability, and embracing life’s challenges. Growing up in Belgium immersed me in rich cultures, traditions, and cuisines, sparking a lifelong love for travel, food, and the inspiration that comes from exploring new perspectives. Whether hiking in nature, experimenting in the kitchen, or planning my next adventure, I find joy in the little moments that remind me of what’s possible.
For over a decade, I’ve been dedicated to helping people embrace change, unlock their true potential, and achieve their most meaningful goals. As an expert in change management, I’ve guided hundreds through life-altering transformations—not just in their careers, but in the way they view themselves and their ability to thrive.
I co-founded NuYu with Laura, my incredible partner in this mission. Together, we thrive off each other’s energy, ideas, and shared passion for empowering others. Our mission is simple yet profound: to make lasting change accessible, empowering, and deeply personal. Change isn’t always easy—and let’s face it, life has its challenges—but with the right tools, accountability, and unwavering support, the extraordinary becomes achievable.
At NuYu, I bring together a decade of expertise and a genuine passion for helping people reclaim their confidence and clarity. By addressing your physical, mental, and emotional needs, I’ll help you set meaningful goals that truly align with your values and aspirations. My approach is grounded, compassionate, and laser-focused on delivering real, lasting results.
"Transformation isn’t about perfection; it’s about progress—one intentional step at a time."
As your coach, I’ll meet you where you are, guide you through the hard parts, and celebrate every win along the way. Together, we’ll create a version of you that feels stronger, clearer, and more aligned than ever before. This isn’t just about change—it’s about stepping into the life you were always meant to lead.
Laura Walsh
Co-Founder and Resilience Coach
As a busy mum with a toddler and an energetic spaniel, I am constantly navigating the challenges of finding balance between work, gym, food, sleep, family and personal growth, oh and keeping on top of chores. This ongoing process of change, self-discovery, and accomplishment allows me to lead with authenticity. I love sharing my personal experiences and struggles with others to show that transformation is not about perfection - it’s about progress, patience, and persistence.
As the Co-Founder and Director of The NuYu Collective, alongside my truly awe-inspiring bestie Clare, we are committed to helping others unlock their full potential. My passion lies in guiding individuals through their own transformation journeys, helping them achieve lasting results, and celebrating their successes along the way. My mission is to help people build lives they want, create positive habits and to fall back in love with themselves.
''Change nothing, nothing changes''
My journey is far from complete, and I believe that growth is a lifelong process influenced by the people, activities and places I am surrounded by. Through embracing my own challenges and successes, I aim to inspire others and support their own transformation, build resilience, and live authentically.
Life is a journey of continuous change, and I would be honoured to hear your story, understand your goals and work with you to achieve them!
