Hi there
I’m Chanelle Louise.
I am excited to introduce myself.
I’m the owner of Chantilly Styles & The Self Edit School, I am a Life Stylist, based in Mackay Queensland.
I have studied a diploma in fashion styling, and recently completed Life Coaching Certificate and currently studying Style Coaching specialising in Image Coaching to further my knowledge about our Style and Self-Image.
For over a decade I haven’t always felt confident in my skin, and for a long time, I didn’t know who I truly was beneath the roles I played.
There was a time I hid behind my weight, my family responsibilities, and a busy to-do list.
My self-image was shaped by quiet insecurity, constant self-doubt, and the belief that I had to fix myself to be worthy.
I tried dieting to lose weight, only to end up back in the same patterns.
I made money plans hoping they’d change everything, but still found myself overspending.
I attempted meditation to be the “calm” version of myself, but still lost it—and carried the guilt of not being the mother I wanted to be.
I tried to look stylish, but I’d catch my reflection and feel like I was pretending. Back into baggy jeans I went.
What changed everything wasn’t a new plan or another “fix”—it was learning how to see myself differently.
This is the work I now share: not perfection, but powerful self-perception. Not chasing a new self, but embodying the real one
I haven’t always felt confident in my own skin, and for a long time, I didn’t know even who I truly was beneath the surface.
There was a time I hid behind my low self-esteem, my family responsibilities, and a busy to-do list, gained 10 kg that made me feel unhappy with how I saw myself in the mirror.
My self-image was shaped by quiet insecurity, constant self-doubt, and the belief that I had to fix myself to be worthy.

What changed everything wasn’t a new plan or another “fix”—it was learning how to see myself differently.
This is the work I now share: not perfection, but powerful self-perception. Not chasing a new self, but embodying the real one.
I wanted to be the kind of woman who wasn’t intimidated by designer boutiques or luxury labels.
A woman who believed in herself deeply.
Who could walk into any room and carry a conversation about business, the arts, or ideas that mattered.
A woman who felt cultured, confident, and completely at home in her own skin.
But of course, my mind had other plans.
It gave me a long list of reasons why I couldn’t possibly be that woman:
You grew up in a trailer.
You’re 10 kg overweight.
Your speech is unclear people won’t be able to understand you.
You don’t have a good employment record
You’ve never been overseas except for New Zealand
You didn’t go to a fancy school or graduated from university.
You’re not smart enough, polished enough, rich enough…
That voice was loud.
But there was another part of me—quieter, wiser—that started to wonder:
What if I could become her?
Little by little, I leaned in.
I began to think like her. Dress like her. Speak like her.
I started showing up with more intention.
I created spaces that felt aligned with her energy.
And with each step, I became more of her—the woman I had always longed to be.
Today, when I look in the mirror, I can honestly say, I’ve become her the version I have always wanted to become.
Becoming her changed everything. My relationships deepened, my dreams flourished, and my confidence, joy, and sense of well-being expanded beyond what I ever thought possible. And yes, I released the weight and have kept it off for years, effortlessly and without the endless cycle of dieting or drama.
That’s the true power of an elevated self-image.
As a Life Stylist, this is my calling, guiding women to transform how they see themselves from the inside out. Because when a woman begins to see herself as extraordinary, her entire world shifts. Her possibilities become limitless.
Through my work with women who crave more from life, one truth has become beautifully clear:
To create an extraordinary life, you must first create an extraordinary self-image.
That is why I created Chantilly Styles and very soon I will be launching the Self Edit School, and inside the Self Edit School, that’s exactly what I help women do.
That quiet transformation became my turning point.
Not because I reached some finish line.
But because I finally understood: I didn’t have to wait to become her.
I could start embodying her now through my mindset, my style, my surroundings, and most importantly, my self-image.
And that’s exactly what I help women do through Chantilly Styles & The Self Edit School.
This isn’t about becoming someone else, it’s about uncovering the elegant, expressive, and empowered woman you’ve always been beneath the conditioning.
Whether it’s through the way you dress, the way you speak, or the way you carry yourself in the world your self-image is always leading the way.
When you shift it, everything else shifts with it.
At Chantilly Styles & The Self Edit School, I guide you to design a life and identity that feel deeply aligned.
Curated. Beautiful. Intentional.
Because becoming the woman you’ve always wanted to be… starts with choosing to see yourself differently.
You don’t have to be born into elegance or confidence or wealth.
You can cultivate it. You can embody it.
And you can begin right here.
That Was the Beginning of Chantilly Styles & The Self Edit School
A space where self-image isn’t about appearance, it’s about embodiment.
Where personal style becomes an expression of your inner truth.
Where elegance, creativity, and confidence are no longer just aspirations they become your way of being.
Through my work, I help women like you reimagine who they are.
To release the outdated identity they’ve outgrown and embody the one that feels true.
This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about coming home to yourself and doing it in style

In a World Full of Self-Help…
What Makes Chantilly Styles & The Self Edit School any Different?
Most personal development programs focus solely on your inner world, shifting your thoughts, managing emotions, setting bigger goals, and taking bold action.
On the other hand, most style advice only addresses the surface, change your hair, wear seasonal colours, perfect your posture, and smile for confidence.
But here’s the truth: neither creates lasting transformation on its own.
At Chantilly Styles and The Self Edit School, we do things differently.
We believe true self-expression begins when your inner and outer worlds align.
Because what good is a beautiful outfit if you don’t feel worthy of being seen in it?
And what power is there in a positive thought if your outer life doesn’t reflect the woman you’re becoming?
That’s why our work blends the power of self-image, personal style, and intentional living.
To guide you into your most elevated, authentic self.
Because the life you create will always mirror how you see yourself.
And when you expand your self-image, you expand what’s possible.
This is the foundation of The Embodied Identity Method a 12-month membership
program with a signature approach designed to help you become the woman you’ve always known you could be. Are you ready to expand on how you see yourself and as a result to elevate the quality of your life.
Chanelle’s Offical Bio
Life Stylist | Founder of Chantilly Styles | The Self Edit School.
I’m Chanelle, founder of Chantilly Styles and your guide in curating a life that feels as beautiful on the inside as it looks on the outside.
As a Life Stylist, I help women redefine their self-image, express their authentic identity, and design a life with intention, elegance, and presence. My work blends mindset, personal style, and environment, because true transformation is never just surface level. It’s how you think, feel, dress, speak, and carry yourself every day.
Years ago, I felt like I was hiding behind who I was “supposed” to be. I dressed for invisibility, played roles that felt too tight, and quietly longed for a life that felt more me.
What changed everything?
Learning to see myself differently and to embody the woman I truly wanted to become.
