Hi, I’m Chelsea, the face behind The Deliberate One.

My journey to becoming a stress and confidence coach wasn’t a straight line—it was a series of detours that ultimately led me to the work I was meant to do.

In 2017, my life as I knew it started to unravel. I went through a divorce, moved into a place of my own, and faced the reality of starting over. Then, in 2019, my stepdad was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Navigating his treatments and loss that year brought overwhelming grief. By 2020, I was trying—again—to quit drinking. I’d already had a couple of false starts, but I knew this time had to be different.

Then another blow to my identity and security. Just one month after I got sober, I was fired from my 16-year career in commercial construction. It felt like the universe was testing me, but looking back, it was pushing me to dive headfirst into my healing and growth.

I embraced practices like breath work, cold therapy, journaling, and solid self-care, building routines that supported me through life’s chaos. What I discovered is that while life’s detours can be painfully hard, they often lead us exactly where we need to go.

My Approach

You already have the power to change your life—it’s in your hands. But change doesn’t come from wishing; it starts with breathing well, examining your beliefs and habits, and taking personal responsibility for where you are and where you want to go.

As a stress and confidence coach, I help you regulate your nervous system, rebuild your confidence, and transform old patterns that are holding you back. Breath is where we begin, but we’ll go deeper, uncovering the beliefs and identity systems that shape your actions and creating practices that help you thrive unapologetically.

why work with me?

With over 1,000 hours of coaching, I’ve worked with women and men from all walks of life. I’ve delivered corporate trainings, earned certifications in life coaching and breath work facilitation, and guided clients toward lasting growth and confidence.

But what really sets me apart is this: I’ve lived it. I know what it feels like to start over, to face life’s hardest moments, and to rebuild from scratch. I’m here to help you do the same—with compassion, strategy, and a whole lot of belief in your unlimited potential.
