This isn’t therapy or business coaching, as usual. It is a space where truth cuts deep and transformation takes root. Where silence breaks open and courage finds a home. It’s not for comfort seekers, it’s for truth tellers, the courageous, and the wild ones.

This work isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s for the brave, the restless, the seekers ready to face their shadows and rise into their full power. If you’re ready to stop surviving and start living, to claim your voice, your body, your truth- let’s walk that edge together.

about dr. chelsea

I’m a trauma survivor, risk-taker, leader, and therapist who’s been knee-deep in this healing mess for nearly 25 years. For most of my life, I carried the weight of complex trauma until I dared to explore sacred ritual through plant medicine, integration practices, and the wild unknown. That’s when healing broke through the noise, and I stopped letting my past define me.

Whether you’re drawn to explore altered states of consciousness, unravel the mysteries of your mind, or break the chains of old narratives, I’m here to walk that edge with you; no fluff, no filters, just fierce presence.

Building your power, in life or business, means facing your fears and refusing to look away. I challenge, provoke, and relentlessly support you because true freedom lives beyond comfort. And I get it - because I’ve been there too.

my approach.

I don’t do surface-level.

I’m not here to fix you, because you’re not broken.

I work with people who are ready to dig deep, ask the hard questions, and alchemize pain into power. My approach is relational, somatic, trauma-rooted, and unapologetically human. I honor lived experience, intuition, and the intelligence of the body just as much as clinical skill and science.

Whether we’re in a therapy session, a retreat, or untangling your business blocks, you can expect presence, depth, and real conversation. I will meet you exactly where you are, with honesty, compassion, and zero performative wellness bullshit. This is sacred work. And it’s gritty.

If you’ve felt too much, held too much, or lived through things that left you questioning your place in the world. If you’re craving depth, truth, and someone who won’t flinch when things get real, if you’re ready to stop performing and start transforming, bring your whole self.

I’ll bring mine.

Let’s burn it down and build something true.
