"The world is your oyster lobster!"
This jovial spin of a classic phrase is a favourite of founder Georgie's father. Little did he know that it would inspire a company that is now serving professional women across the globe, supporting and empowering them to live by the very ethos that he promoted to his daughter.
“I will forever be grateful to my Dad for his loving encouragement that I get to make my life what I wish; I can be, do and have anything I dream of and show up for. Chasing Lobsters is very much a manifestation of that ethos he instilled." ~ Georgie
Over the years CL has evolved from a simple portal of information and encouragement into a powerful catalyst, support system, and framework to initiate growth and change for ambitious women wanting a life that fulfills them deeply; personally, and professionally.

Meet the Coaches
In alignment with our belief that every human has an innate wisdom and unique genius, we each bring our own blend of skills, strategy, spirit, and style. Alongside that, with each of us you will find;
A safe place of connection and curiosity, powerful coaching, and a welcome invitation to all parts of you.
A powerful commitment to your growth.
A fierce presence to our own ‘work’, constantly using our personal and professional lives to continue our own growth and development.
Continued professional development to support you even more richly
A belief that there’s no ‘right way’ to live life, except for you to find your right way.
Working with a CL coach creates a rare conversational space of presence, self-inquiry, and transformation.
We will bring clarity to your most desired future and support you in developing the moment-to-moment awareness of how that future becomes a reality, or, what gets in the way. We are privileged to help you unlock the wisdom that you already possess, as you define your unique path to success and fulfillment.

"Even when you can barely see yourself, I see you. I see beyond the limitations placed on your life, your options, and your potential. You’re here for a great life; one of purpose, passion, and pleasure. It’s a privilege to remind you of that, bring you home to that, and watch you rise as you."

Coaching is a partnership, an agreement of confidentiality. A decision to embrace what you really want.
She approaches each client and coaching session from the belief that each person has greatness within them. Sometimes it is muddled under the weight of difficult situations or great hurt. Having someone sift through it together moves you along the path more quickly and confidently. No two sessions are the same just as no two people or relationships are the same.
You do not have to have the answers or even a clear direction of what you want when we begin working together. That is what she’s here for – to help you gain that clarity so you can move forward and live vibrantly no matter what your starting point or circumstances.
Her role as your neutral thinking partner and navigational guide is to hold a safe space where you can think clearly and tap into your strongest self. Chel combines that with her own knowledge and training to support and encourage you as we design YOUR next steps together.
"There is nothing more fulfilling than hearing the heart of a client soften as their mind opens to possibilities.”
