Meet Chelsea
I’m Chelsea Haverly, pronouns she/her, and the creatrix/founder of Hope Ignited. Hope Ignited is located on the traditional lands of the Piscataway, known today as Annapolis, Maryland. I think of myself as the nurturer of this company, but this company has never felt like it was just mine. While I created it, named it, and established its framework- this company is for a community of helping professionals who are committed to centering voice, choice, transparency, collaboration, and sustainability as pillars of their healing and business practices. The essence of Hope Ignited is to create a place to gather collective energy from different backgrounds, disciplines, frameworks, cultures, and communities and to support a collective desire to teach, serve, uplift, connect, and support one another in our fields of practice.
I'm a mother to two strong-willed children (one of them who will always be my greatest teacher in life through her fiery spirit), a responsible eldest daughter, a listener, story keeper, writer, epic schedule juggler, and a voracious reader. I am deeply connected to my grandmother, whose wisdom and life lessons guide me today. As a young girl, people told me their issues and I found a purpose in listening and holding their stories. I believe our stories can be reclaimed and are forever changing. I am deeply connected to back road drives, the canopy of the forest, the smell of a campfire, and the depth and beauty of a mountain. I feel rooted and intuitive in my work and allow ideas to take off quickly when they feel right. I am meant to work with other people. I have no desire to do this deeply shifting and powerful work alone.
My superpower for problem solving has served me well. Though, my growth and journey continues to be looking for moments and practices that center ease, comfort, softness, and rest. What does it mean to create a practice of rest and sustainability in a capitalistic and grind culture centered world? Hope Ignited started as a way to pivot and care for myself differently. It started with the intention of reconnecting myself and others to the natural world by offering healers and helping professionals a framework to feel supported both internally and externally through a land-based healing retreat. This retreat was created with one of my dear friends and co-workers, but Covid had other plans for us and we shifted and pivoted (the word of the year in 2020).
I am passionate about working with businesses and people looking to shift their personal and business practices to center trauma-informed principles.
What’s your “Why” for doing what you do?
Do you feel connected to your why?
If you hear yourself saying, “there has to be a better way” let's connect!
