Professional Services for Researchers
Life in academia is demanding.
The competing demands and high workload can be exhausting and mentally fragmenting.
Difficult colleagues can suck the joy out of work.
Work-related anxiety can take a toll on your mental health, productivity, and relationships.
My name is Chelsea. I can help.
I’m a certified life coach, project manager, and writer. I worked at Western University for 10 years, leading research projects, and helping researchers organize their ideas into coherent grants and articles.
Now, I offer a full suite of services that can be hard for academics to find, including life coaching, writing, and project management support.
(The bonus? It’s administratively simple. You can hire me as a contractor and pay me directly with a university credit card.)
I can help you:
Slow down your busy schedule.
Prioritize the work you care about most.
Navigate difficulty colleagues.
Reduce stress and anxiety.
Organize your research ideas.
Get that book or paper written.
Launch a new project.
Feel confident about your contributions.
If you could use help with any of these, book a free, virtual coffee chat. We’ll explore your needs and whether I can help.

**Access to coaching directly improves mental health and well-being. Financial accessibility to this service is a core value for me. I offer a limited number of spots at CAD 65/session, for people without organizational funding.
