GET STARTED

Welcome to a place where all parts of you are welcome

The joyful, the empowered, the lost, the despairing. It is an impulse of mine to see and hear others as they are, without judgment, without needing to fix. I believe the path through struggle begins with acceptance, curiosity, and making space for what is asking to be known. When we slow down and become more present, we often begin to notice that life is continually offering us information about ourselves, if we're willing to listen.

Our emotions, bodily sensations, recurring thoughts, dreams, moments of inspiration, and even the challenges we encounter all have something to share. They are invitations to understand ourselves more deeply. I humbly offer myself as a sounding board and guide, supporting you in one of the most rewarding journeys there is: cultivating self-awareness and coming into a more authentic relationship with yourself. As we bring gentle attention to what has been sitting just outside of conscious awareness, new possibilities for healing, choice, and growth begin to emerge.

What lives within us is rarely as frightening as it first appears. More often, the parts of ourselves we struggle with are simply longing to be seen, acknowledged, accepted, and cared for. Together we can explore what each part may need through food, herbs, mindfulness, somatic awareness, self-reflection, creative expression, and other supportive practices. There are many paths toward greater wholeness, and together we can discover the ones that best support your unique journey.

Somatic Integration Sessions

Experience deep self-discovery and integration. By working with the present moment experience of the body, mind, and emotions, we can gently uncover the beliefs, habits, and patterns that no longer serve us. As we learn to meet every part of ourselves with greater awareness and compassion, we cultivate a more integrated and authentic way of being.

Client Testimonials

"Working with Chelsea over the past year has been one of the most profound experiences of my adult life. Through her deeply attuned presence and rare ability to hold space with both tenderness and curiosity, I've been guided into layers of emotional awareness and embodied wisdom I didn't know I had. During our sessions she often invites an intelligence that feels ancient and intuitive to emerge from within, allowing for healing that is not just emotional but truly transformational.

In a short time, I have felt my inner landscape reorganize around wholeness, my relationships have gained depth and clarity, and I move through life with more authenticity and calm than ever before.

I cannot recommend Chelsea any higher, it has been a gift and a blessing to have her in my corner throughout my healing journey."

-Y.M. Asheville, NC

“Over the past few months working with Chelsea I’ve had many break through moments that allowed me to gain insight and resources to handle blocks in my life. I’ve learned so much about myself and addressed deep emotional blocks I struggled to understand for years.

Just a few sessions has opened me up to a new way of processing emotions and getting deeper within myself.

I’ve seen significant changes in my stress levels and find I’m more mindful and patient with my family. Being able to address the physical root of my emotions has been transformational and has improved my life immensely.

I am excited to continue to work with Chelsea as I uncover deeper levels of my emotional being that are found within my body. I love how sessions are laid out and always leave feeling like something important was uncovered. I'm very appreciative of the support Chelsea has been able to provide me over the past few months.”

-Rachel, Asheville, NC

"Chelsea’s a fantastic practitioner. I’ve had many breakthroughs with her style of guidance and specialties. One area I struggle the most with my healing journey is that I tend to ruminate, fixate & overthink, judging my feelings & emotional landscape rather than being present with them, allowing them to be there. With Chelsea, I’ve been able to meet with my inner child often & have deeply profound experiences with little Jen which is super rare & no other therapist has been able to help me connect to that part of myself.
Chelsea’s extremely intuitive in her way of asking questions that ultimately lead me to the right place where my inner child feels safe to be heard, seen & understood. I’m able to make that distinction between my adult self & the little inner child that is screaming to be heard.
Through our work together, I feel significant shifts in the way I am able to deal with stressors, depressive episodes & negative self talk."

-Jennifer, San Francisco, CA

"Chelsea is a highly empathetic and insightful individual. Whether discussing trauma or guiding me through Hakomi practices, she holds space and maintains focus for my body and mind to fully feel what is happening and connect. I had a breakthrough in being able to feel body tension and relate it back to past traumas. Bringing awareness to the body and how my thoughts and actions affect it has brought me peace, and a roadmap on how to address blockages. I routinely use the visualization exercise she walked me through in session to ground myself and regulate myself when I dissociate.
Chelsea is an intuitive soul that strives to be there for others. She is a radiating calming presence with an inquisitive approach."

-Carolyn, Seattle, WA

"I love Chelsea's vibe. She is very allowing and very accepting of what organically arises, never wanting to control the outcome. As a result, it feels like a very safe non-judgmental space and I can feel free to unfold in any way i want to. Her somatic knowledge allows me to deepen specific sensations in the body without getting lost or too taken by something specific. I definitely recommend Chelsea!!"

-Amel, Los Angeles, CA

"The session was exactly what my body needed. I appreciated Chelsea’s experience as a Hakomi practitioner as she was able to support me through an emotional release that bubbled up during our assisted stretch session. The combo was a gentle way to support my emotional and physical body."

-H.P. Asheville, NC

“Chelsea does a wonderful job integrating the body and mind as part of the healing process. I have had multiple sessions with her, and I keep coming back because she is so effective as a healer and a spiritual catalyst. Chelsea is thoughtful and very present to whomever she works with. She continually helps me be present in my body as I process complicated emotions. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to do deeper healing and emotional integration. “

-Dana, Chicago, IL

“Chelsea listens deeply, sees with clarity, and guides from the heart. She is a gem of a person and a blessing as a facilitator. Highly recommended!” -Fede, Montreal, CA
