Welcome, I'm Chelsea! 🌿

Educator • Applied Theatre Practitioner • Drama Therapy Coach



I create brave, playful, and imaginative spaces where people of all ages can reconnect with their creativity, express their truth, and feel more at home in themselves. My work blends drama therapy techniques, storytelling, movement, and ritual to foster self-expression, healing, and connection—from early childhood through adulthood.

With over 12 years of experience as an educator and facilitator in the performing arts—I support individuals and communities through transformative creative journeys rooted in care, collaboration, and belonging.

My offerings support:

  • Young children in developing social-emotional learning skills, imagination, and self-regulation through creative play and drama-based activities



  • Adults seeking to reconnect to their creative voice and growth through expressive arts and drama therapy coaching



  • Communities and organizations ready to deepen connection and collaboration through experiential learning.


Whether through 1:1 coaching, children’s creative classes, group workshops, or nature-based retreats, my work invites you to allow your imagination, tell your story, and move toward expressing your true self!

"Chelsea is an incredibly warm and wise educator. She has been working in all areas of Early Childhood education for so many years that it comes very naturally to her. Her drama therapy work is not only fun and engaging for children, but meaningful and explores the why behind their/our behaviors and emotions. Anyone who works with Chelsea will notice her calmness right away. She uses a multifaceted approach that blends applied theater, drama therapy, movement, and her intuitiveness. Working with her is beneficial for all."

I Believe Theatre is:

Community Building:

Theatre helps to foster collaboration, empathy, and connection. It provides a space for people of all backgrounds, abilities, and identities to express themselves. It’s often a refuge for those who feel out of place elsewhere. Folks have been storytelling around a fire forever, theatre brings people together in a ritualistic, grounded and timeless way.

Healing:

Theatre helps us tap into our imagination and wonder. It invites us to step into the “play space” and try on different versions of ourselves, maybe a version that empowers us to live the life we have always wanted. Drama helps us express our emotions boldly through the lens of a character, distancing ourselves from experiences that could be too hard. It provides a buffer, a way to get a different perspective on our lives. We can use plays, poetry, art and song to express our feelings when we can’t find the right words. In a loneliness epidemic, theatre has the unique ability to build deep and lasting bonds with others. Just ask any theatre kid, they will confirm this!

Catalyst for Change:

“The theater itself is not revolutionary: it is a rehearsal for the revolution” Augusto Boal.

Theatre can inspire change and shift peoples preconceived ideas and biases. Through the work of Augusto Boal’s, Theatre of the Oppressed (TO), I learned about forum theatre. A short play that presents a social injustice or injustices on the stage. The spectators turn into “spect-actors” and have the power to go on the stage, play a character and try out different ways to change the outcome. A “rehearsal for the revolution.” Applied theatre conventions like process dramas, theatre for education and playbuilding, provide a way to embody the change we want to see in the world. To examine our world through characters and stories. To step into another's shoes, try on different perspectives, to build empathy and understanding.
