My Story
I lived with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder from 2013-2021. For many months, right before my period I would be consumed by a wave of intrusive thoughts, multiple-day-crying spells, ‘don’t leave the house’ anxiety, self injury, suicidal ideations, uncontrollable anger and deep shame. The shame was always the hardest part. Some months were calm as a pond, some were hurricanes. Many romantic relationships and jobs were lost in the wake of my storms. I also live with Endometriosis. I would experience painful periods and sometimes after sex, it would sometimes feel like 1000 knives cutting into my abdomen and many times, I couldn’t walk.
I was eating ‘well’, exercising and meditating-but nothing still was working. I tried medication, supplements, eating in all sorts of different ways, therapists, and even seriously considered a hysterectomy. Medications made me feel flat or insane, and I couldn’t imagine having a surgery to remove my uterus-when I still wanted children. I intuitively knew there was a way to heal gently.
After joining the CHEK Institute, being coached by incredible women, and deeply diving into the metaphysical realm, I found that processing deep trauma, eating intuitively and for my metabolic type, practicing meditation, using plant medicines, removing myself from spaces containing toxic mold, diving into gut health, exercising in a balanced way, and living according to my natural infradian rhythms were all pieces I needed to put together in order to heal in a holistic way. There isn’t ONE piece that brought me into my most optimal body mind and spirit (I’m still on my journey!) But it has been a HOLISTIC perspective that has allowed deep healing to occur within all realms of my existence and it is my hope that I can help you on your journey to healing.
PMDD and Endometriosis that have been my greatest teachers. They have brought me into this calling of the soul. To do the work of navigating through the underworld with another soul, to help activate what one already knows within and to be armed with information about how to heal ourselves.

“Chelsea is a mirror of strength and precision. She carves space for the whole. Everything is welcome when we show up in our meetings. She provided me a palpable experience for me to nurture the wounded one within and listen to the cries as much as the laughter. She is one of my greatest teachers & whoever is aligned with the work will find self evolution.

“Working with Chelsea has been absolutely eye opening. She is incredibly knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond for her clients if they have a question she isn’t quite sure of. She approaches each session with love and compassion and makes it a truly safe space to heal. I also can’t thank her enough for all the delicious recipes not only for my belly, but for my mind and soul as well.”
