LEARN MORE ABOUT TRAUMA INFORMED PRACTICES

Meet Chelsea Chalmers

In 2016, my life changed dramatically after a severe ankle injury and the discovery of a toxic, financially abusive relationship. Finding the strength to leave that relationship in 2017 was just the beginning. Shortly after, I became the end-of-life caregiver for my ex-partner of 20 years, navigating the grief of his stage 4 cancer diagnosis. During this time, I faced a legal trial and the challenges of a global pandemic, leading to anxiety, panic attacks, and a deep mistrust in the systems meant to support us.

These experiences revealed the critical need for trauma-informed care, which was missing when I needed it most. Through trauma-informed healing and positive psychology, I reclaimed my resilience, turning pain into growth and challenges into opportunities for strength.

Today, I am dedicated to helping others on their healing journey, providing the support and tools that were lacking in my own experience.

My Mission:

To empower individuals facing grief, anxiety, and trauma to rediscover balance, happiness, and purpose, using trauma-informed practices that foster resilience and healing.

My Vision:

A world where trauma-informed practices are the foundation of care, enabling individuals, families, and professionals to understand and support each other on the path to healing and resilience.
