Creative Care Services
Hi, I'm Chelsey and I am an artist. I have worked in various disciplines in the arts for over 20 years (from performance to producing!) Each experience has been fulfilling in a different way. But when I began consulting I noticed something. Meetings turned into deep dives, creative brainstorming and empowerment sessions. These connections lit me up and left me buzzing. I hadn't felt so excited about my OWN creative expression, well ever! I felt a light shining from within. So I asked myself: How can I help others feel this? How can I encourage creative well-being?
At the same time, I found Reiki (or I should say, Reiki found me). At a pivotal point during the pandemic when we were all going within, I began the practice of Reiki. This practice came into my orbit for a reason. Reiki allows you to self-heal, self-discover and self-direct your life. It can reveal your deepest knowing and creative light by moving energy.
Throughout my career there have been resounding themes: seeing the highest potential in others, encouraging them to discover what lights them up, and motivating them to follow their own creative path. The work I’ve always been doing, led me to Creativity Coaching. I am here to empower you to discover your inner creativity, unleash it and express it in a way that aligns with who you truly are on the planet. It's time to allow your light to shine!
