The Rainbow Muse Collective is a loving community of therapy providers working collaboratively with a shared ethos to provide radically affirming and responsive care.
We are based in Naarm (Melbourne) and offer art therapy, mental health peer support, psychology, child-centred play therapy, dance and movement therapy, family therapy, animal-assisted therapy and trauma sensitive yoga in an inclusive environment that celebrates diversity.
Rainbow Muse™ was founded in 2019 by Chenai. She dreamt of establishing a magical therapeutic safe space where people who do not like, or fit into “boxes” could feel seen, heard and valued while on their mental health journey. Rainbow Muse grew beyond what she could have dreamed and in 2022 she teamed up with Sammy, who had been busy building Girl and Dog Psychology. These two best friends, who met working in youth mental health decided to marry their passion, love and fierceness into an even bigger dream. They joined forces to harness their strengths and in 2022 we opened Rainbow Muse Clinic.
After 2 beautiful years of building an amazing team and working with the most beautiful clients we found ourselves quite burnt out with a waitlist we had not hope of ever meeting the needs of. The "clinic" model does not align with what we seek to do. Hence we are moving away from a top-down hierarchical structure to practising collective leadership.
As a team we are dismantling Rainbow Muse Clinic and rebuilding our new home Rainbow Muse Collective.
We are all committed to supporting, protecting, learning from, and empowering people from the bottom up. We work with an intersectional lens and running a decolonial, de-pathologising and neuro-affirming space on Wurundjeri Land.
All of our offerings will soon be added to our collective space. Please be patient with us during this transition. During this time our waitlist will be closed.
