About Raw Horizons
Our Founders
Raw Horizons Wellbeing Academy was established by Dr Claire Maguire and Andrea Maguire, a stepdaughter-and-stepmother team who have been working in the wellbeing space since 2011.
With over a decade of experience, Claire and Andrea have developed a thoughtful, evolving body of work that reflects the depth of knowledge gained from years of direct experience in the field. Their approach is grounded, evidence-informed, and centred around meaningful, lasting change.
Each course has been carefully created to support a deeper understanding of wellbeing, giving you knowledge you can confidently integrate into your own life or professional practice.
Our Core Beliefs
People First
You’re at the heart of everything we do. We prioritise our community and always make time for you.
Your Experience Matters
Your lived experience is not something to hide — it’s often where the most meaningful connection begins.
Celebrate Your Difference
Ignore the expectations others try to place on you. Embrace your individuality and boldly leave your mark on the world.
Growth Takes Space
Real change doesn’t come from pressure. It happens when there is space to reflect, question, and evolve at your own pace.
Authenticity Above All
We believe in honesty, integrity, and kindness. Trust is earned through truthfulness and respect.
What’s Possible Can Expand
With the right understanding and support, people can shift patterns, build new habits, and move forward in ways that once felt out of reach.
Our Team
Our family-run team brings together a unique mix of expertise, passion, and dedication. Each of us plays a vital role in making Raw Horizons Academy what it is today. Meet the people behind the mission and discover how we work together to inspire and empower.
