As we come to the end of Mental Health Awareness Month, I want to touch on something that still isn’t spoken about enough — grief.

Grief doesn’t just appear when someone dies. It shows up when we lose relationships, stability, direction, or versions of ourselves we’ve outgrown.

It can come suddenly, or it can move quietly through your life — weaving itself into moments that once felt steady.

For me, one of the deepest kinds of grief has been the grief of self — saying goodbye to the versions of me that once kept me alive, but can’t come with me where I’m going.

There are stages to it. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance.

And sometimes, you loop back through them more than once.

That’s human.

What no one really talks about is how much it hurts to let go — even when it’s necessary.

We hear a lot about “becoming your best self,” but not enough about the grief that comes before the growth.

The surrender.
The confusion.
The moments where you wonder if you’ll ever feel like yourself again.

I’m grateful now to have both personal and professional supports — people and practices that help me stay grounded through all of it.

But I didn’t always have that. And I know what it’s like to face those moments without a map.

So if you’re there now — in the middle of your own quiet transformation — please know that you’re not alone.

This post found you for a reason.
And maybe that’s enough for today.

We’re so proud to share that Earth & Elm Studio and Wellness Services has been selected as a finalist in the Specialised Small Business category for the 2025 Australian Women’s Small Business Champion Awards! 💛

This recognition feels especially meaningful because it honours the heart and artistry of Chel, whose vision and dedication have shaped Earth & Elm into the safe, soulful, and sensory-rich space it is today.

As a multi-disciplinary artist, tattooist, and art therapist, Chel has spent over 15 years creating work that holds deep meaning — helping clients reconnect with their stories, bodies, and emotions through both ink and art. Every piece she creates, every workshop she facilitates, and every person she holds space for reflects her quiet strength, creativity, and compassion.

From transforming skin into living art to using creativity as therapy and community connection, Chel continues to redefine what it means to build a business that truly heals and inspires.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported our journey — from our clients and collaborators to our local community who believe in what we do. This recognition is for all of you too. 🌻
