About Me

I’m a woman set on empowering the female voice and feminine leadership.

How do I do this? Through personal contributions as a meditation teacher, speech coach and mentor, workshop facilitator, life coach, public speaker, mandala artist and yoga therapist in training.

I continue to understand and navigate my own edges in life as I support women to create space for themselves to step into their full potential.

I hope to cause ripples and change in people’s lives, and support women to feel joyful and confident. I’m conscious of setting an example for my two strong daughters as they navigate the world. I want to be a positive influence as they take it all in.

We’re always evolving and I’m here to support you to do that in a positive, rewarding direction that aligns with your values and goals.

When we work together, you get my whole attention to:

  • find a new sense of self, based on your mission and values

  • feel fulfilment, ease and joy in your career, life and business that you seek

  • raise women’s voices, individually or as part of an organisation.

  • ‘Chantal has an enormous amount of education and wisdom. She delivered the information with compassion and kindness and it was very easy to follow. The guidance, the education and explanation around what we were doing and practising…Everyone session gave me the ability to be calm, be present, be purposeful, be aware of my breath, body, magnificence, and be in the present moment. I also took all this into my daily life.’

  • 'WomanSpeak is more than speaking words. To deliver our message effectively in any space we need to believe, truly believe, in self. I honestly believe WomanSpeak does that.’

    Geraldine Moeder

  • ‘Coming to your introductory event completely changed how I see speaking in front of others – I feel differently now.’

  • ‘There are some events that create a before and an after in your life. On the weekend I attended a WomanSpeak 3-day foundation course that was one of those – empowering women to speak up and tell the stories deep inside: be ‘seen’ and be ‘heard’. This is not just a public speaking skills course!’

    Louise Brookes

  • ‘The WomanSpeak program is life-changing, and Chantal is the most loving and nurturing leader, there to gently guide and challenge you to reach into the goods she knows you have.’

    Nat Mardon

  • ‘WomanSpeak with Chantal is life-changing. The thought of public speaking was terrifying for me, and I did everything to avoid it. It caters for everyone at whatever level they are at. It caters for everyone at whatever level they are at. Over the course duration…the feeling of terror being replaced with a sense of individual power and self-identity. You come away with the skills to freely be able to express yourself in all types of experiences.’

    Lenley Bursle Barrett

  • ‘It's like surfing and you catch this little wave and all of a sudden it turns into this big tsunami and you're just along for the ride. So that's basically what happened as a result of WomanSpeak.’

  • ‘I had been experiencing tiredness and burn out and some health issues this last year when I reached out to Chantal for support. In our session, she guided me into deep full-body relaxation and then a state of restoration unlike anything I have ever experienced.’

  • ‘If you are feeling the call to meditation with Chantal, do it! She is fabulous. She is caring, knowledgeable, and creates a beautiful container in her sessions for a deep experience.’

    Laura Veselovsky

  • ‘‘Spending time meditating with Chantal is a perfect way to start or end the day. She is clearly interested in all of her students’ wellbeing and sharing what she loves and finds interesting about meditation. Chantal is able to hold space for everyone and her classes feel like a safe, warm hug (with afterglow). If you would like to try meditation or find the right person to meditate with, I would highly recommend Chantal.’

Intentions

I started out with a mission…

To rein in the negative self-talk that holds us back from living and loving to our capacity.

To help women understand the moments we fear are opportunities to grow – and awareness of when, how and why this happens is key.

To show when we focus on what brings us joy, we can inspire others to do the same.

Methods

After many years' experience working with women, the methods I’ve found and developed have proven to work.

It Starts From Within

Meditation and mindfulness help to rewire the nervous system and give you a stronger internal and outwards voice.

Together, we reframe how you see yourself, then change how you feel in every part of your life.

Give speaking skills room to grow

Developing your public speaking skills gives you the confidence to communicate with others – and yourself too. We do this in a safe environment.

WomanSpeak is a proven powerful and transformational program. 

Collaborate to create change 

Building up womens’ leadership confidence enhances a workplace, its people and culture and cements the brand as an employer that champions women.

Everyone wins.

I work with whole organisations to support this enhanced culture.

Supporting First Nations voices

For 20 years, I’ve collaborated with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, supporting groups and people to visualise their direction and make it a reality. 

These workshops are co-designed to be localised, appropriate and meaningful for the people and communities involved.

These are some of the organisations I’ve been lucky enough to partner with:

  • the Great Barrier Reef Foundation

  • The Nature Conservancy 

  • the Queensland Indigenous Womens Ranger Network 

  • the PNG women’s delegation, supported through The Nature Conservancy

  • Torres Strait Islands Regional Council.
