Hi, I’m Chelsea —
Founder of The Deliberate One and Director + Community Guide at She Walks Canada.
I help women who’ve spent their lives holding it all together finally exhale — and come back home to themselves.
Because what most of us call “coping” is really survival.
And the moment you stop numbing, distracting, or over-performing… you start to feel everything you’ve been carrying.
That’s where my work begins.
From Construction to Consciousness
Before I built this work, I built spaces — millions of square feet of commercial projects.
I managed thousands of contractors, negotiated with executives, and thrived in chaos.
On paper, I was unstoppable.
In reality, I was exhausted, disconnected, and quietly unraveling behind the mask of “high-functioning.”
When I finally quit drinking, I expected peace.
What I got was a flood of unprocessed emotion, nervous system dysregulation, and an identity crisis I didn’t see coming.
That breaking point became my turning point.
Through breathwork, nervous system repatterning, and somatic self-leadership, I learned to regulate, rebuild, and reclaim my life — from the inside out.
Now, I help other women do the same.
My Work Today
My approach blends science and soul, meeting the mind, body, and spirit where they actually are.
This work is for the woman who:
Feels “fine” but not fulfilled.
Quit drinking (or wants to) and now faces the emotional aftermath.
Knows there’s more to life than survival, but doesn’t know how to get there.
Together, we use:
Somatic breathwork to release stored stress and emotion
Nervous system regulation to create safety and steadiness
Embodied self-leadership to rebuild from power, not performance
It’s not about fixing yourself.
It’s about remembering who you were before you learned to abandon yourself.
What I Believe
Healing requires feeling.
You can’t think your way out of dysregulation — you have to breathe through it.
Rest is not a reward; it’s a responsibility.
True transformation isn’t about becoming someone new — it’s about returning to yourself.
If you’re here…
You’re probably craving more than relief, you’re craving regulation, reconnection, and real change.
Welcome.
This is where we stop surviving and start living — deliberately.
