🌸Ballarat…a massive thank you. 🌸

As Blossomtree begins the gentle process of winding down over the coming year, I wanted to pause and express my deepest gratitude to this beautiful community.

For so many years, you’ve trusted me and the Blossomtree team with your children, your families, and your stories. It’s been the greatest privilege and honour to walk alongside you — through moments of healing, courage, laughter, and growth.

🌸To the children who’ve filled our rooms with creativity, play, and wonder — you’ve taught us as much as we’ve ever offered you. 💚

🌸To the parents, carers, schools, referrers, and colleagues — thank you for your collaboration, care, and belief in what we do.

🌸Our admin team has now contacted everyone on our waitlist to help connect them with alternate services. From here, our focus is on finishing well with our current families and ensuring each child’s journey continues with the support and continuity they deserve. We will not be accepting any new referrals.

🌸Blossomtree has always been about relationships, connection, and heart — and while this chapter will close in July 2026, its roots and meaning will always remain.

Thank you, Ballarat, for welcoming Blossomtree into your lives and hearts. 🌿

With love and endless gratitude,
Chelle 🤍🌸

I can't believe I'm even sharing this... but just in case anyone is wondering

The Royal Australian College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG) has released a statement about pregnant mothers using paracetamol.

🌱 Exciting Career Update 🌱

I’m delighted to share that I have joined Red Frog for Families in Newcastle as their Head of Clinical Development. I have commenced in a hybrid capacity two days per week, and in June 2026 I will wind up my private practice in Ballarat before relocating in July and stepping into the role full-time from August 2026.

Ballarat has been both my professional and personal home for many years. It has been an incredible privilege to walk alongside children, families, and colleagues here, and the learning, trust, and community I’ve experienced will remain central to my practice and who I am as a psychologist.

The past few years have brought immense change—professionally and personally. Some changes were difficult, others unexpected, and many transformative. These seasons have strengthened my resilience, deepened my sense of purpose, and reinforced my commitment to creating opportunities even in times of adversity.

As I move toward this next chapter, I am excited to contribute to the extraordinary work of Red Frog for Families, to expand services for infant, children, their families and adult participants in Newcastle, and to continue building trauma-responsive, relationally-based practice at scale.

To the Ballarat community: thank you for the privilege of being part of your lives and for shaping me in ways I will always hold close.
