Clare S. Rosenfield, also known as Satya (meaning essence or truth), is a writer, meditation teacher, healer, and social worker who has founded a holistic approach to self-healing called Contact Healing™.

A Smith College graduate and former French teacher in Boston, Lagos, and Bangkok, Clare received both her M.A. in French and later an M.S. degree in Social Work from Columbia University.

Drawing upon more than thirty years of experience integrating therapeutic approaches from East and West, she empowers people with healing meditations, breathing experiments, inner journeys, self-inquiry, and the cultivation of compassion towards oneself and all of life.
