The Author
Claire Houlding (nee Claassens) was born in South Africa.
She started suffering from migraine headaches from about 6 years of age.
The migraines have continued throughout her life and therefore inspired
her to not only research, but also try, their countless treatment alternatives.
She studied pharmacy at Rhodes University, graduating with distinction.
She has worked as a retail pharmacist since graduation and managed, in
her professional capacity, to help many sufferers deal with their debilitating
pain.
Having been in a state of desperation herself, by suffering with blinding
migraines, she was able to assist patients from a professional as well
as personal perspective. Her success in helping innumerable patients by
empowering them to deal effectively with their pain, inspired her to write
Managing Migraines, so that she could reach many more sufferers and provide
them with the many treatment alternatives accessible to them. It has been
very important to Claire to explore all effective treatment alternatives
available in the management of migraines, not just from a pharmaceutical
stand-point, but also from an alternative, complementary and dietary perspective.
She decided to include all these various options, as well as useful lifestyle
modifications in her book, in order to broaden the horizons of the many
inadequately treated sufferers worldwide.
She has successfully managed to reduce the frequency and severity of
her own migraines so significantly, that she wants to impart her knowledge
to other sufferers, so that they too may gain relief from their physical
anguish.
Claire currently resides in Vancouver, WA with her husband and sons.
