Meet Chelsea

As the sole force behind SAGE Parenting, Chelsea Griebling brings a profound passion for the health and happiness of families. Chelsea’s undergraduate degree in Psychology and Anthropology largely shaped her understanding of human behavior, leading to her early work in supporting youth with mental illness and developmental challenges, and later to her work in child welfare where she has had roles supporting biological families and also foster/adoptive parents. Chelsea’s coaching experience draws largely from her work as a foster parent case manager, supporting those new to parenting a child who has experienced trauma and loss. Chelsea’s personal parenting experience came when she moved into her role as a stepmother. This journey had many growing pains for her family as they adjusted to the impacts of divorce and becoming a blended family. Chelsea has felt deep satisfaction and joy from the gift of this experience, and her goal is to help others experience this joy, too.
