My name is Chantel and I was raised in all the five boroughs of NYC. I’m an advocate, writer, reader, and dibble and dabble in anything creative and artsy. I like to spend time practicing the bass, writing and recording songs, making beats, doing deep research on literally anything, playing video games, listening to podcasts, trying new things, and, most of all, guiding people!

 

I’ve dealt with mental misdiagnosis for nearly a decade. I spent years being angry and even jealous because of the pain and confusion I had to endure alone as I navigated the child welfare system and parental incarceration. Over the years I've went through a lot of trial and error, making mistakes and learning from them to find out what works best for me holistically. I realized that therapy and medication weren't the only paths to learning to live with the harms I've experienced and manage my mental health. ​

​

I have a Bachelors in Ayurvedic Wellness & Integrative Health and am deciding to dedicate myself to bridging the gaps between ancient and modern day healthcare practices. There's a holistic team of support available to us, so just like our ancestors needed a village that applies to us too no matter the age. My mission is to empower and educate others to embrace complementary methods for their mental, emotional, and physical well being.​
