Welcome to a place where all parts of you are welcome; the joyful, the empowered, the lost, the despaired. It is an impulse of mine to see and hear others as they are, without judgement, without needing to fix. I believe the path through struggle is acceptance and allowance. When we stop resisting and get still, the universe/God/our higher selves communicates with us through a myriad of ways.
Repeated symbols, dreams, images, synchronicity, emotions, bodily sensations, stuck thoughts, physical pain, inspiration… all have something to share- the deepest wisdom of our being bubbling up to the surface, calling out to be heard. I humbly offer you myself as sounding board, as guide, aiding you in the most rewarding of journeys- that of knowing oneself deeply. Through uncovering that which lays just out of sight of the conscious, overactive mind, we begin to build a more authentic, intentional life.
Trust me when I say all that is within is not nearly as scary as you think. All has a reason for being, all parts of oneself desire the same thing: to be seen, acknowledged, accepted, and nourished with the love and attention they lack. Together we can find what each mischievous part needs to be nourished, through slowing down, cultivating presence and tuning into emotion and physical sensation. Hakomi Somatic Therapy is a modality that helps us study ourselves, learn how and where we bar nourishment and reach core material to process and update. It’s a journey into the subconcious mind. We take what shows up and work with it, deepen into it, and watch in awe as it transports us to surprising places.
Special Intro Rate
As my two year Hakomi training comes to a close and I work towards certification, I am seeking clients to have weekly sessions with at an introductory and sliding scale rate of $30-$50 per session.
Hello, I’m Chelsea
Wanderer, observer of life, morphing into fully embodied woman of power, slowly but surely. I stumbled onto a path of intentional personal evolution during my early college years. Psychedelics and books on zen buddhism were my inductors at that time, sharply marking a distinctive new phase in life, one marked by a budding self awareness and a conception of choice in my circumstances. Since then, my most enduring hobby has been putting a magnifying glass to the inner movements of myself and those of the external world in relation to them. Like the changing colors of autumn leaves in my birth state of Michigan, I’ve witnessed myself subtly shift through shades of being. Exuberant alignment with all of my reality at times, the crest on the wave of experience, all the way down into the troughs, lost, disconnected from source and magic. Cycling through and through, spiraling slowly up, for even when it seems I’ve taken 1 step forward and 2 steps back, I remind myself I’m still moving forward.

He was/is the perfect representation of the masculine way of dealing with things- cold hard facts and logic. He actively suppresses his emotions and approaches things in a very mind over matter way. Timely, as I lean more and more into the feminine, fluid emotions and embodiment, feeling and sensing. Historically, I have leaned heavily…

March 2021, San Diego, CA “When you encounter the incursion of unexplored territory into explored territory, the circuitry you use are the same circuits that we use to respond instantaneously to predatory forces- the thing that lurks beyond the safe confines of the community, or our Garden of Eden.” -paraphrased from Jordan Peterson’s Maps of…
