Welcome Shantelle to the Take A Breath Support Coordination Team!

We’re thrilled to introduce Shantelle, a proud Indigenous woman with strong cultural ties and recognition across Wonnarua, Dunghutti and Yaegl Nations. Shantelle brings over 8 years of frontline experience across disability, aged care and community services — and a deep commitment to cultural safety, advocacy and person-led practice.

With both professional and lived experience, Shantelle understands the challenges faced by participants, families and carers. Her approach is culturally safe, trauma-informed, and driven by respect, community and empowerment.

After running her own business, “On Kew Coordination & Consultation”Shantelle joined Take A Breath in September 2025 to align with Directors Kris and Gaile — drawn to their shared values, integrity and genuine care shaped by lived experience.

We’re so proud to have Shantelle as part of the Take A Breath family — a team that truly listens, supports and shows up for the people we work alongside every day. 💙
