I’m Chelsea

I am on a journey of healing, recovery, and growth. For years, I had no idea how separated from myself I had become. I couldn’t hear myself. I never knew how I really felt, or what I really thought, or what I really wanted, but I was certain that I knew all those things. I lived in shame, fear, rushing, codependence, and anxiety, and I had no idea. I thought I had great self-esteem, I thought I loved myself, and I thought that I was especially skilled to handle things other people couldn’t, to withstand stress and hardship that other people couldn’t, and to be the one who everyone else could rely on for care and leadership. 

My healing has unfolded, one layer at a time, through tremendous loss and grief, building a new life, and discovering what it actually feels like in my body and spirit to accept and cherish myself.  

I came home to myself, and learned, slowly and over time, how to listen to and take care of myself.

My journey is about untangling and letting go of all the culturalization that taught me that I had to be perfect to have value and be loved. It’s about learning to accept and love myself as I am right now, allow myself to be as I am, struggle where I struggle, learn what I need to learn, make mistakes, and ground myself in love as I relate and give to others.  My journey is about learning to meet my own needs, ask for help when I need it, and let go of trying to control myself and others.  It’s a process of developing the muscles that allow me to take life one day at a time, and feel free to enjoy life on its own terms, while still dreaming about the future and creating what I want. 

I am surrounded by soul teachers, who give out of their own joy and freedom, and have helped me in a hundred ways, always at the moment I needed their particular help most. In life coaching, my heart’s desire is to keep passing along the permission that has been gifted to me, along with some of the supports and tools, to be who we truly are, at home with ourselves, authentically following our own right path.

As of January 2026…

I now offer Wayfinder coaching, the modality of best seller and renowned teacher and life coach, Martha Beck. For me, this approach to coaching resonates in my own journey of learning how to listen to myself. I discovered that I can trust myself to have my own answers, and to know what I need to know when I need to know it. I believe that you can too. I believe that we are each whole and powerful, and can find our way through anything if we’re able to hear ourselves and be honest. Coaching sessions with me are only about cleaning the mirror so that you can clearly see what’s there for you, and free yourself to follow your own lead, meet your own needs, and go exactly where you want to go.
