About Claudia
Early on in my life I knew two things – I wanted to help people, and I didn’t want to worry about money. Pursuing a career in Social Work early on meant that I was truly in the thick of it – the experience gave me learnings I will keep with me for life.
My expertise as a Financial Adviser lies in crafting tailored financial plans, providing Personal Insurance advice, and Investment advice which includes my extensive knowledge of KiwiSaver.
My approach is grounded in 'real talk'—honest, straightforward conversations that empower my clients to make informed decisions and truly enjoy the fruits of their hard work. It's not just about planning for the future; it's about enjoying the journey there.
My Three Golden Rules
- There’s no substitute for hard work.
- Progress, not perfection.
- It’s not about how much money you make, but how you manage that money.
Reviews & Feedback
Working with Claudia at Lifetime has been a truly exceptional experience for our family. From the very beginning, her genuine kindness and authenticity has put us at ease. Her unique ability to relate to each of us ensures that our needs and dreams are not just heard but truly understood. She is always present and fully engaged in our conversations, offering thoughtful and tailored advice that makes financial planning feel both manageable and personal. What sets Claudia apart is her ability to make each interaction feel like more than just a business transaction; it feels like talking to a friend who genuinely cares about our well-being, success and doing right by us. Her warmth and authenticity shine through in every discussion, and we always leave our interactions with clear plans and confident that the actions will be completed on time and in full creating a positive level of comfort that everything is in control. Claudia has easily been the best partner we have ever had navigating our financial future and for that are incredibly grateful to have her by our side.

Incredible service from Claudia. Not only did she educate me on KiwiSaver and all the options available but she took the time to get to know me and my future goals to figure out which fund and provider would be best for me and my investment. She is very knowledgeable, dedicated and patient. I would 100% recommend Claudia for KiwiSaver & finance advise to anyone looking for help. Thank you so much Claudia!

Neither Lifetime nor I have been subject to a reliability event. A reliability event is something that might influence you in deciding whether to seek advice from either myself or Lifetime. As an example, this would be a serious event such as legal proceedings against me, or bankruptcy in the last four years.

The KiwiSaver Gender Divide – Why are women saving less and what can be done to combat this?
Recent data shows that, on average, women have 20% less in their KiwiSavers than men. The gap being at its largest between men and women in their 40s and 50s. There are a few factors that come into play causing this divide and although it will take years to achieve equality, there are ways in which we can be proactive to help close the gap. As of August 2021, the gender pay gap is at 9.1% in New Zealand, a decrease of about 0.4% from 2020’s stats.
