Chantelle is the most beautiful person, both inside and out.  She listens intently to what is causing your troubles which allows her to treat you on spiritual, emotional and physical levels.  She has the ability to bring you back down to earth with her words, and heal you with her hands.  Her touch is strong, yet gentle.  She will take the time to explain to you what is happening to your body both physically and metaphysically.  I would not hesitate to recommend Chantelle as a Bowen Therapist, Aerial and ACROVINYASA instructor.  She has my full confidence and is the top of my list to call on when I need help with my broken body. 

To the woman who changed my life. Thank you. Thank you for standing with me when I stumble

Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to work with and even train exceptional individuals.  Chantelle began as a client with me, and was quickly recognized to have talents needing to be shared.  After completing her initial Aerial Training she quickly became a leading instructor at Posture Positive with a passion for learning.  With many years of continued developmental training she is now a respected peer whom I call upon for advice.  There is no doubt from the moment you meet this soul you know you are in good hands.  Her dedication to her ongoing training is unprecedented.  She has a caring, calm and patient approach with everyone she works with, and takes the time to connect, listen and support those around her.   If you want to grow as an individual, spend time with Chantelle.

Chantelle is one of those rare gems that are few and far between.  She has a beautiful and soulful way about her, along with great knowledge of the human body.  Chantelle is professional and encouraging and all round the loveliest lady you will ever meet.  After a session with her my body, mind and soul feel utterly nourished!  I travel from Brisbane every week to train with Chantelle rather than anyone else, as I’ve found no one better.
