Personal Life |
Chantal lives with her spouse, three children ages 5, 7, and 11, two dogs, and a wild pack of perpetual dust bunnies just outside of Winston Salem, NC. A self-proclaimed ambivert, Chantal has always been passionate about all things psychology, which doesn't often get her return invites to dinner parties. She has a background in Buddhism, mentoring under abbot monk Phrakru Buddamonpricha, and considers herself a student of the universe-- constantly learning. When she's not in the office, she enjoys reading, being outside, teaching her children how to be in awe of nature, learning from the stillness of trees, traveling to obscure places, writing poetry, and creating art. At home you'll find her eating stinky cheese, watching Curb Your Enthusiasm reruns, or in her greenhouse singing to her plants.
