Chelle is a Holistic Counsellor, Reiki Master, creator of Ageing With Empowerment (AWE), Mentor and Mindset Alchemist.
With many years of working in the holistic healing field, delving into the mind, body and soul connection, counselling, life coaching and writing, she has the unique ability to see the light in others and assist them to heal past wounds, find their untapped potential and remember their magic.
“As a woman, wife, mother and now grandmother, I have walked the path of conditioning, self doubt and self sabotage and understand the challenges and limitations this can manifest in your life.
I spent decades of my life feeling that I never quite made the grade, low self esteem, self loathing of my body and my perceived lack of success. Constantly beat myself up for not measuring up to what I thought was expected of me – and piled unrealistic expectations on myself.
Spent years in the never ending spiral of comparison and competition which always left me wanting. Found myself criticizing other women in the vain hope that it would make me feel better.
But it didn’t – I just found myself feeling more miserable and discontent.
Then I found myself, at the age of 58, unemployed, sad and lonely.
Did a lot of drinking, eating too much, falling deeper and deeper into a hole of feeling desperately unhappy.
Until one day, I decided things had to change.
I won’t say it was easy, I won’t fool you and say it happened overnight. It took tons of effort and lots of self healing, however, I can now truly say that I am happy with and within myself.
Sure, some days are more challenging than others, however I now have the tools and strategies to bring myself back into a space of love and peace with more ease, allowing me to enjoy each day knowing that I am enough, I am amazing and I am worthy.
And now, I bring those same tools, guides, inspirations and healings here, for you so you can finally leave all that self doubt, self loathing, and lack of self love behind and begin living a life that brings joy, peace and love into your space everyday.
Isnt’ it time you began to reconnect to your authentic power and realise your true worth and deep inner strengths, empowered to live a life of calm, courage, confidence, peace and joy.
There is so much more that unites us as women than that which divides us. We all have a deep-rooted need for connection and communal support. We all feel physically better when our minds are in good shape, and we all could benefit from feeling better about ourselves as we grow older.
I’m here to guide and learn with you, as we remember.
Let’s throw all stigmas, limits and conditioning out the window as we work to increase our wellness of body and spirit and show the world that we are vibrant, magical and amazing.

After a successful 21-year career as a qualified hairdresser and salon owner, I transitioned into a new path due to a shoulder injury that prompted me to leave the hair and beauty industry. During my tenure, I not only managed my own salon and trained apprentices but also worked as a trainer at Bite on the Side for four years, utilising my Hair and Beauty Trainer certification. Alongside, I volunteered as an ambulance officer and earned a Certificate 2 in Medical Emergency Response.
Seeking to remain engaged with the community, I pursued a Certificate 3 in Disability and subsequently worked with Community Living Australia for four years. This shift in focus was driven by my desire to enhance care standards and support for individuals.
My academic journey includes a Certificate 3 in Disability Support, Certificate 4 in Beauty Therapy, Certificate 4 in Training and Assessment, an associate degree, and an Undergraduate Certificate in Community Support from the University of Tasmania.
In January 2022, I founded Coastal Community Support Services from my home office, relocating to our current location at McLaren Vale Shopping Centre in May 2023. This venture embodies my commitment to creating environments where individuals receive exceptional care and support.
I am also a mother to two daughters, aged 11 and 13, and a stepmother to a 10-year-old. Our household also includes two exchange students, my partner Andrew, and our beloved dog Diesel.

I’m an experienced Occupational Therapist who has been working with clients with physical and neurological conditions for over 20 years. I have particular experience with supporting individuals with disabilities to achieve their goals around driving and community access. I currently work primarily in the NDIS and Motor Accident space. I have a background in leadership and management across multiple sectors including public and private health. However, having experienced professional burnout through my work a few years ago, I have shifted my practice to be more focussed on supporting other allied health practitioners to prevent and manage burnout and to be the best therapist they can be, whilst still taking care of themselves!
Outside of my work, I’m a mum to 2 little boys and a dog mum to old dog Ella and puppy, Stevie. I love reading, LEGO, Barbies, painting and the performing arts. You’ll find me at park run most weekends or else creating a podcast with my sister or starting a new personal or professional project (I always have a 1000 things on the go at any one time!).

Hi, I’m Caitlin and I own Dandelion Business Support. I am a virtual assistant for allied health professionals who are looking at moving their business to the next step through outsourcing their admin or creating systems in their business. I am a previous social worker, who had to stop working full time, because my children needed additional support. Both my children in 2023 were FINALLY approved for NDIS and both were diagnosed with ASD. I am a choc-o-holic, lover of reality TV and I’m in my reading era!
