Certified as a Kundalini Yoga and Meditation instructor by the Kundalini Research Institute in 2018, Chelan has continually expanded her practice, incorporating diverse modalities that activate and balance energy.
A pivotal moment in Chelan’s journey was the purchase of her first gong. This instrument resonated deeply with her, sparking a profound connection that would shape her path as a sound healer. As a certified sound healer, Chelan studied with Becca Laurito, a professional percussionist and renowned sound healer, to deepen her expertise. Through this training, Chelan learned how to harness the transformative power of the gong and other resonant instruments to recalibrate energetic frequencies. This knowledge, combined with her expertise in breathwork, mantra meditation, and movement, allows her to guide her clients through profound energetic shifts and create lasting transformations.
Chelan has committed significant time to the study of astrology, immersing herself in extensive self-study and attending transformative retreats with renowned astrologers. Her dedication to this spiritual practice has deepened her understanding of astrological principles and how they influence personal growth and life experiences. These teachings deeply inform her work, offering clients personalized and spiritually enriching experiences. Her personal exploration of astrological concepts and transits has had a deep impact, enabling her to understand and align with cosmic energies in profound ways. This knowledge now informs her work with others, providing personalized and spiritually enriching experiences that empower clients to create lasting change.

She balances her corporate career with her passion for wellness, empathizing with those in high-demand roles while offering transformative solutions for stress management, resilience, and balance.

Chelan is eager to direct her attention to initiatives that improve quality of life, support personal transformation, and foster healthier communities, aiming to make a meaningful difference both locally and beyond.
Chelan’s personal life centers around her family and spiritual practices. She loves spending time with her teenage children, especially attending their sporting events, and cherishes her supportive husband, with whom she has been married to for nearly 20 years. Chelan finds solace and inspiration in her home in Deerfield, where she enjoys gardening and spending time in her beautifully wooded backyard—one of her most cherished spiritual practices. Outside of her professional and spiritual pursuits, Chelan enjoys golfing, reading, traveling, and attending live music events. She is also grateful to collaborate with a close-knit group of friends and fellow spiritual practitioners in the local area, where they support one another in their personal and professional journeys. Together, they share wisdom and guidance as they work to uplift their community. Chelan brings this love for life and the deep connections she’s nurtured into her work, offering group classes, private sessions, corporate seminars, wellness retreats, and more.
