HOLISTIC THERAPY IN LA
Empowering women of color to release stored trauma through sound healing, yoga, and holistic therapy—so they can trust themselves, set boundaries, and rest without guilt.
Women of color deserve to feel at ease in their bodies and at peace in their lives—without carrying the weight of everyone else’s expectations.
YOU'RE A HIGH-ACHIEVING WOMAN
Of course you hold yourself to high standards
That tightness in your chest, and heavy weight on your shoulders is not just stress, it’s your body speaking to you.
Your body holds a lot of wisdom, but maybe you’ve forgotten how to listen to its call to slow down.
Does this sound familiar?
- You wake up already tense, your mind racing with everything you “should” be doing. Even in moments of rest, you can’t seem to relax.
- You silence your needs to keep the peace, second-guessing yourself before you even speak.
- In relationships, you pour into others, but when you need support, you hesitate—worried you’ll be too much, or worse, not enough.
- You constantly replay conversations in your head, wondering if you should have said less, done more, or just been different.
- Rest feels undeserved. If you slow down, the guilt creeps in, whispering that you haven’t earned the right to just be.
- The weight of expectations, past wounds, and unspoken emotions sits heavy in your body.
You’ve been taught that you always have to go above and beyond—that your self-worth is tied to external validation—and you’re doing the best you can to survive the high expectations.
- But surviving isn’t the same as thriving. You want to feel confident in your worth, to stop overanalyzing every interaction, to finally believe that who you are as you are is enough. But the idea of unlearning years of self-doubt feels overwhelming.
- You’ve been told to “just be more confident” or “set boundaries,” but no one tells you how to quiet the voice that questions your worth at every turn.
- And maybe deep down, you’re afraid—afraid that if you stop overperforming, overgiving, or over-explaining, you won’t be valued the same way.
Your body remembers what your mind tries to forget.
You don’t have to keep proving your worth. You already are enough. And with the right tools and support, you can learn to trust yourself, release the pressure to be everything for everyone, and step into the life you truly deserve.

Let me introduce myself
Hello, I’m Chelsey Reese
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Relational and Somatic Therapist, Certified Sound Healer, and 200HR Registered Yoga Teacher.
I help people build self-awareness by tuning in to what’s happening in their bodies so that they can connect to the present moment, release trauma and stress, and make meaningful connections with the world around them.
I firmly believe that we can tap into our greatest power, strength, and purpose when we take the time to process our lived experiences, identify the things we’ve been holding on to, and release what no longer serves us.
I'm passionate about facilitating opportunities for folks to be in community and engage in their own wellness journey. When I'm not meeting with clients or hosting wellness offerings, you can find me talking to my plants, curled up with a good book, or going for a hike and connecting with nature.
Healing, growth, and wellness rely on one's ability to process life's moments.
I believe we can tap into healing by listening to the wisdom of our own bodies and tending to inner wounds. Let’s unlock your inner strength and create meaningful transformation together.
Empowering high-achieving women of color to listen to the wisdom inside their bodies, release stored trauma, and step into an abundant life of peace and connection.
Chelsey has been a mentor to me in many ways. She has a warm, patient, thoughtful presence that is consistent and unmoving, and the ability to closely contact whatever arises in a calm and non judgemental way that allows for connection. Highly recommend!

Chelsey and I recently led a group and I was in awe of her ability to hold space, give others feedback, and stay regulated throughout the course. Chelsey was a supportive, caring, and wonderful co-facilitator. I learned so much from her!
Julia Willinger
She's phenomenal. I've had a few different therapists during my mental health journey, but Chelsea is the first one to actually make me feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable. She reminds me that it's okay to acknowledge my feelings, instead of bottling them up in order to process the situation that brought that particular feeling up. I spent a long time feeling invisible; my sessions with Chelsea remind me that I'm here, and I matter. It feels good to feel seen and understood.
