About Me
Hi, I’m Chanel Hall, a registered Counsellor and Coach based in beautiful Rotorua. I’m deeply passionate about supporting women to live their best lives, chase their dreams, and truly bloom into their fullest potential.
I was born and raised in Rotorua, where I live with my husband and our two girls, who are 3 and 4. They remind me every day of the simple joys in life we often overlook.
After going through several transformational periods in my own life, I discovered how much more there is to experience when you open your eyes to it. I want to help you do the same! I believe that, with the right support, environment, and strategies, we can all bloom in our own unique way. It’s my job to help you uncover what that looks like for you.
In everything I do, I’m dedicated to supporting women in their journey toward personal growth, emotional well-being, and building a positive, sustainable lifestyle. I’m here to be your cheerleader, empowering you every step of the way. With a special focus on maternal mental health, body confidence and building self esteem, I offer compassionate guidance to help you thrive and embrace your full potential – helping you bloom into the woman you are meant to be.
With over five years of counselling experience, I bring a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to the work I do. I’m a NZAC Provisional Member and an ANZCAL Professional Level Coach. I can’t wait to meet you and be a part of your journey!
My opening hours are:
Monday – Friday – 9:30 – 2:30
Saturday & Sunday – Closed
Please note I am available for out of hours and evening sessions on request – please contact me directly to book.
Why "Blooming"?
The concept of “blooming” has always held a special place in my heart. My middle name is Rose, so there’s that! Over the years, on Instagram, I’ve evolved from “Blooming Positive” to “SheBlooms”—a name that resonates deeply with me.
I’ve always had a love for flowers. As a child, I dreamed of being a florist (gardening, not so much—though I’m told there’s still time!). Flowers, and the metaphors they offer, have always spoken to me. From prepping the soil and creating the right environment to planting seeds, nurturing them, and ensuring they grow strong, the process of caring for a flower mirrors much of what we experience as women. Repotting, adjusting, leaning toward the light, reaching full bloom—vibrant, colorful, and full of life for the world to see. Then, eventually, wilting and pruning, shedding what no longer serves us.
The parallels between a flower’s bloom and a woman’s journey are endless. It’s a natural metaphor that’s always spoken to me, so it feels only right to weave it into my work. And that’s how SheBlooms was born.
My Specialties
Perinatal Mental Health Support
Motherhood is a beautiful yet deeply transformative journey. You give so much to others, but who is giving back to you? I offer compassionate, personalised counselling to support you before and after childbirth, creating a safe space where you can honour both the joys and challenges of becoming a mother.
I’m here to walk alongside you toward self-discovery and balance. Together, we will work on building self-worth, finding balance in motherhood, understanding attachment, reconnecting with yourself, and embracing your true potential.
✨ It’s time to bloom into the confident, fulfilled, and joyful mother you’re meant to be. ✨
Birth Debrief Sessions
A birth debrief session focuses on holding space for you, the mother. I offer a compassionate and non-judgmental environment where you can fully process your birth experience. I support you to share your emotions, whether they be joy, disappointment, or confusion, without fear of being rushed or dismissed. The session emphasizes active listening, empathy, and validation, recognizing that every birth is unique and that your feelings, no matter what they are, are valid and important.
By holding space for you, I help to explore your experience in a way that promotes emotional healing, self-compassion, and a deeper understanding of your journey. This time allows you to reclaim your birth story on your own terms, fostering empowerment and a sense of closure or peace.
1:1 General Counselling
Life isn’t always about big transformations and sometimes we just need someone to talk to!
I offer personalized 1:1 counseling for women, designed to support emotional well-being, personal growth, and empowerment. Through compassionate, confidential sessions, we can build resilience, and discover your strength. I provide a safe, nurturing space for growth.
Body Image & Confidence
I offer counselling and coaching support for women through the journey of finding peace in your body.
As women we all go through significant changes throughout our lives, and I’m here to support you through those transitions, and discover the best version of you. Through lived experience, I share my learnings and understandings that weight loss is more than just a physical journey. Whether you’ve experienced weight loss through surgery, medication or personal plans, it’s a big mental shift. Or, if you just want to find more peace with your body, I can support you in that, too!
Together, we do the mental work behind physical success, helping you create lasting healthy habits. We explore the root of past behaviors to build a positive, sustainable relationship with food and yourself.
