Rainbow Muse began as a dream.  In 2019, Chenai founded Rainbow Muse with the vision of creating a magical, therapeutic safe space for those who don’t fit neatly into boxes—people often overlooked, misread, or pathologised by systems not built for them. A place where neurodivergence, queerness, cultural complexity, and radical softness could be held with care.

The dream grew. And in 2022, Chenai joined forces with her best friend Sammy—founder of Girl and Dog Psychology, fellow youth mental health rebel, and passionate disruptor of the norm. Together, they opened Rainbow Muse Clinic, pouring their hearts into building a home for fierce, creative, radically affirming care.

Over two incredible years, our team and community expanded beyond anything we imagined. But so did the weight—of long waitlists, endless referrals, and a clinical system that too often demands more than it gives. The clinic model, with its hierarchies and pressures, began to pull us away from our values.

So we made a bold choice. We dismantled the clinic. And rebuilding something softer, braver, more aligned.​ A home built not from the top down, but from the inside out. A collective led by shared values, collective leadership, and deep trust in community care.

We are artists, therapists, troublemakers, and dreamers. We work on Wurundjeri Country, with an unwavering commitment to decolonial, neuro-affirming, and intersectional practice. We honour lived experience and the wisdom of those too often silenced.

We believe healing is not about compliance—it’s about connection. It’s about being seen, protected, and empowered to live fully, messily, and magnificently as yourself. r
