Chelsea Ambrose, LCSW

Chelsea Ambrose is a creative clinical social worker, trauma-informed healer, and compassionate guide committed to helping individuals heal, grow, and live with resilience. With a Master of Social Work from Boston College, she has dedicated her career to counseling, leadership development, and community service. ​ Clinically, Chelsea specializes in an inclusive, holistic, strengths-based approach to building resilience after loss, trauma, and significant life transitions. She has extensive experience supporting clients navigating grief, mood disorders, LGBTQ+ and women’s issues, and spiritual exploration. Her training includes EMDR, mindfulness-based interventions, and other trauma-responsive approaches. ​ In addition to her clinical work, Chelsea brings more than a decade of senior and executive leadership experience, where she has mentored leaders, cultivated collaborative partnerships, and guided organizations through change, strategic planning, and program development. Chelsea’s passion for spiritual growth and alternative healing began early. At 14, she began studying Reiki and acupressure, eventually becoming a Reiki Master and Certified Sound Healer. For more than 20 years, she has studied Native American and Tibetan Bon traditions, and as Child of Blue Star, her Native name, she is honored to serve as a Native American Ceremonial Pipe Carrier — offering prayer and connection to Spirit as part of the healing journey. ​ Through Beauty Way, Chelsea integrates trauma-informed counseling, mind-body-spirit practices, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story to create a safe, supportive, and empowering space for transformation.

JoAnn Morse-Clough, LCSW-R

After receiving her Bachelors in Social Work from Lock Haven State College, JoAnn worked as a social welfare examiner and caseworker in Children’s Services through Steuben County Dept of Social Services and a medical social worker at St Joseph’s Hospital in Elmira. In 1983 JoAnn obtained her Masters in Social Work from Arizona State University. Since graduation she has had a variety of employment opportunities in the fields of health/mental health. These experiences included inpatient social work at Elmira Psychiatric Center and Director of Social Work at Corning Hospital. JoAnn was also the clinical coordinator for the eating disorder program at the Nutrition Clinic in Elmira, NY. Jo Ann has maintained  a private practice for over 33 years.  ​ Despite having amazing opportunities in the field of social work, there was always something missing, a spiritual side that needed to be explored and developed. Many years ago I received the book Many Lives Many Masters and my spiritual journey began. In 1993 I began 7 years of life changing training in the field of energy work with renowned healer Rosalyn Bruyere. It was during this time that I began to explore channeling. This has become an important part of my purpose and have cultivated the relationship with spirits guides to assist others in their personal and spiritual growth.  Also during this time was my first exposure to Native American teachings. To say any of these is life changing is an understatement. Lessons learned helped to heal the past and offer direction for the present and future. My native name, Amethyst Dancing Crow meant connecting with the worlds and supported my channeling journey.  The creation of Beauty Way is so exciting because it allows me the chance to integrate my spiritual and professional paths to help others heal, grow and become our best selves.

Strategic Partner 

Course  Developer & Facilitator

Peg Davis, MS CRT

Peg Davis, BA, MS, CRT, is a Holistic Counselor, Clinical Hypnotherapist and Mentor Coach.  She is also a Reiki Master Teacher, certified practitioner of HeartMath Institute Coherence Breathing, EFT Energy Psychology, Myers-Briggs Personality Assessment, IBRT Regression Therapist; and has been a Louise Hay Teacher since 1996. “I am healthy, happy and whole.”  Waking up inspired, feeling you live in a friendly world, experiencing fulfillment at the end of the day…how to get that? You can learn ultimate ways of connecting to and balancing your body, mind and emotions--and tapping into the innate joy and sense of wellbeing that is your natural state. As stresses accumulate--fatigue, anxiety, imbalance, unrest and unhappiness overshadow our natural vitality.  Healing involves moving toward wholeness.  Using Energy Psychology and other modalities that masterfully blend Eastern medicine and Western science, Peg can help you successfully create positive change in old, learned patterns of thinking and feeling that inhibit your life and relationships. Peg’s mentor approach leads you toward wholeness, gently dissolving limiting thoughts, learning new ways of intentionally expressing who you are.  Life will become more joyful as you experience more humor, vitality, organization, self acceptance, creativity, flexibility, intuitive understanding and clarity of thought.   Clients come to Peg to  ~bring balance to health and habits ~improve creativity, focus and intuitive ability ~understand the messages of emotions ~connect and communicate with their body ~manage feelings ~reduce stress ~navigate life transitions ~strengthen clarity and vision for personal happiness ~feel ease and peace of mind ~create an intentional life ~discover innate personality preferences to better understand and accept themselves and others I began my private practice in 1995, with a basic philosophy providing the framework for all that I do, in my personal life and assisting clients…self love and self acceptance are essential to personal happiness.   Though each of us must find our own path to that state of wellbeing, I meet you where you are and lend a hand. I am a mentor coach because I have such appreciation for the mentors who have offered their skills and wisdom to me so generously throughout these last three decades.  Teachers, trainers, colleagues have shared their knowledge, experience and time with open hearts so I could become a better teacher. My vision for assisting students and clients is to be a mentor to each and every one, with the grace and wisdom extended to me--fostering their ability to apply new skills and  awareness to their life experience and relationships.

Tali brought her heart and vision to everything she touched, embodying the importance of personal healing and self-reflection in all her relationships and leadership.

How We Began and
Where We're Headed

When two creative, passionate, entrepreneurial social workers join forces, anything is possible!   Having both had significant life events that set us on our spiritual path and significant people in our life who brought new ideas that resonated  and spurred our growth, Jo and Chelsea have been evolving together, personally, professionally, and spiritually for over 15 years.  We have both worked to take the lesson each experience could offer and have developed a shared commitment to healing our hearts, trying to live our best life, and working to leave this world better than we found it.   After having had the privilege to lead workshops and do healing work alongside some of our closest friends and colleagues, we've decided to take the next step on our journey together and develop Beauty Way to both continue our growth and support others in doing the same.   We are excited to take bring a holistic approach to serving our clients, friends, and community.
