Chelsea has a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, a certificate in Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and is currently working on completing a certification in life coaching. She previously worked for Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win Hospital in the Mental Health and Addictions program as a Mental Health and Addictions Counsellor, and at the Dryden Regional Health Centre with Crisis Response Services.
