Today we’d like to introduce you to Yael VanGruber.
Hi Yael, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I have always lived with a deep love for life. From a young age, I was sensitive to beauty, movement, and emotion, and I naturally expressed myself through art and dance. I was blessed with unconditional love, and that early sense of being held and supported shaped the way I move through the world. Creativity and healing were never separate from who I was; they were simply how I experienced and understood life.
As a young woman, dance became one of my strongest languages. I performed on stage with several popular groups, often as the lead dancer at the front with my partner. Those years taught me presence, grace, discipline, and the art of connection. At the same time, I was a dedicated student, learning how to balance structure with intuition and curiosity. Being multi-talented was never something I tried to become — it was simply my natural state of expression.
Later, I built a family and entered a different rhythm of life. Motherhood became one of my most meaningful and creative roles. I was deeply involved in my children’s education and development, always present and engaged. I never missed a conference or important school moment, and I stepped into every school my children attended with care and pride, seeing education as a shared journey.
My children grew into confident, curious learners who felt at home both academically and socially. Our home was always open — a welcoming place for their friends, for conversation, collaboration, and shared projects. It was a house shaped by friendship, teamwork, learning, and mutual respect.
Alongside raising my family, I worked closely on projects with my own children, encouraging creativity, cooperation, responsibility, and emotional expression. These shared experiences shaped not only them, but me as well.
Through every chapter, I never lost touch with my inner self. Creativity, movement, and spiritual awareness remained quietly alive, maturing and deepening with time rather than disappearing.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It hasn’t been easy — but it has been deeply meaningful. I am someone who loves deeply and commits fully; when I give, I give with my whole heart. Life taught me tenderness, patience, and the courage to remain open.
This understanding naturally led me into counseling and guidance, where I work from compassion rather than rigid formulas. My approach is intuitive, creative, and often “out of the box” — meeting each person where they are, with empathy, honesty, and respect.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Clique Gallery-Boutique?
My business is built around a holistic and thoughtful approach to creativity and well-being, combining several complementary areas of work. I create contemporary healing energy art that is accessible and meaningful — my art is for everyone, created to bring warmth, presence, and connection into everyday spaces. Alongside this, I design intention-based jewelry as wearable pieces that carry personal meaning and emotional resonance.
In addition, I offer intuitive counseling and personal guidance, working with people in a compassionate, individualized way that supports clarity, balance, and personal growth. Meditation and physical movement are also essential parts of my work; through guided meditation, yoga, and aqua-based practices, I help people reconnect with their bodies, calm the mind, and develop greater awareness in a gentle and grounded way. I also offer group experiences, workshops, and one-on-one sessions, making this work accessible to people at different stages of life and personal journeys.
What brings all of these areas together is intention and care. I am known for working with integrity, sensitivity, and professionalism, creating offerings that feel welcoming, refined, and human. I am most proud of building a brand based on trust and genuine connection, where art, guidance, meditation, movement, and design come together to support well-being and meaningful everyday living.
I believe healing doesn’t come from being told what to do — it comes from being met with presence, creativity, and a compassionate heart.
What makes you happy?
Happiness, for me, is alignment. It’s being present in my body, connected to my heart, and open to life. I love my family deeply, and I truly love people in general — their stories, their differences, and their humanity.
Nature grounds me and brings me back to simplicity. I find joy in movement, creativity, water, meaningful conversations, and in witnessing people gently reconnect with themselves and their inner strength. I am happiest when life feels shared, alive, and rooted in love.
