Hi, I'm Chelsey and I am a creative. 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. When I began consulting with arts professionals in 2014, I noticed something. Meetings turned into deep dives, creative brainstorming and empowerment sessions. These connections lit me up. I felt a profound spark of my own expression and I asked myself: How can I help others feel this way? How can I be of service?
Then, 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. Reiki came into my life for a reason. It allows you to self-heal, self-discover and self-direct your life. It can reveal your deepest knowing & creative light by moving energy. I am honored to be a conduit of Reiki energy and to be of service.
​
Eventually, I knew it was time weave together all of my experience and this led me to create Chelsey Shannon Creative Care LLC, a company that nurtures and supports members of the arts community as well as Individuals/ Entrepreneurs through coaching, classes and Reiki Energy Work. At the heart of my work is the belief that we are all unique creatives yearning to shine our light in the world. It is my job to see that beautiful light in you, and help you see it too. I am honored to help you discover the most authentic expression of YOU, unleash it to the world and align with who you truly are on this planet. It's time to allow your unique creative light to shine!
