Welcome

Rainbow Muse is nestled in Warburton, on the lands of the Wurundjeri People. We offer neuro-affirming, anti-oppressive, and culturally inclusive support, specialising in working with people whose identities exist at the intersections—of neurodivergence, race, gender, culture, class, and other overlapping forms of marginalisation.

 

This is a space for healing justice. Our goal is not to “fix” anyone to better fit normative expectations. Instead, we co-create the conditions for safety, dignity, and thriving. Safety here means more than absence of harm—it means a gentle dwelling space where complexity is seen as magic, not pathology. Where tools can be collaboratively built to help humans navigate the world, rather than erase the parts that make them beautifully different.

 

At Rainbow Muse, we take a collaborative and participatory approach to care, grounded in the belief that community connection, collective care, and creativity are vital for wellbeing and belonging.

 

Chenai is a NDIS Registered Provider for both Therapeutic Supports and Innovative Community Participation, with a strong focus on using creative methods to mobilise communities for cultural resilience and revitalisation.

NDIS Support heading Rainbow Muse

Chenai is a Registered NDIS Provider for Therapeutic Supports and Innovative Community Participation. She works alongside humans of all ages to build safety, expression, and connection in ways that honour who they are- not who systems expect them to be. Here are some of the ways she shows up in the world—with art, laughter, curiosity, and a refusal to believe that anyone is broken.

magical little ones

I work therapeutically with children and young people using child-centred play therapy and art therapy to meet them where they’re at. My focus is on helping little humans make sense of the world in ways most meaningful to them—through art, imagination, creativity, and play.

As a late-diagnosed neurodivergent person myself, I specialise in working with neurodivergent kids and deeply understand the importance of feeling safe, seen, and celebrated just as you are.

still magical bigger ones

I prioritise working with people from marginalised communities to support equitable access to identity-affirming, inclusive, and culturally responsive care. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches to support regulation and mind-body connection.

I celebrate all identities, bodies, and neurotypes—and acknowledge that I, too, am an imperfect human still fumbling through. I believe in co-creating meaning and building therapeutic relationships grounded in authenticity, humour, vulnerability, and collective care.

into the community

Some of my work focuses on building social inclusion and belonging beyond the therapy room. For many, healing involves connection to community, accessible opportunities for contribution, and having your voice heard.

I work alongside people to navigate the world in ways that are empowering and aligned with their values. This includes helping break down systemic barriers, amplifying underrepresented voices, and supporting participation in inclusive, creative, and community-based ecosystems.

Finding ways to authentically live

I offer employment mentoring and capacity-building support for NDIS participants wanting to pursue meaningful pathways—whether in work, passion projects, or purpose-led lives.

This is not about fixing you to fit systems—it’s about helping you find ways to be in the world that feel aligned, doable, and yours.

Together, we look at identity, agency, and accessibility. We remove shame, explore strengths, and find creative ways to support motivation, autonomy, and self-worth.

Rainbow Muse and the Magic Ones by Chenai Mupotsa-Russell Rainbow Muse

The Magic Ones is a heart-offering from Chenai created as a dedicated extension of Rainbow Muse for younger neurodivergent humans and the grown-ups who care for them.

 

This space isn’t new anymore—but it still carries that early sparkle. It’s a sanctuary for little ones whose brains work in magical, curious, deeply feeling ways. Children who move through the world with intensity, sensitivity, creativity—and sometimes big challenges making sense of it all.

 

Here, we don’t try to mould kids to fit the world. We reshape the world to fit them. Therapy is playful, imaginative, and collaborative. We draw, build, wonder, and problem-solve together, creating a shared language for feelings, needs, and navigating daily life.

​

I offer one-on-one therapy now focuses exclusively on Magic Ones and the adults who support them. Together, we co-create tools, rituals, and understandings that make life feel a little softer, safer, and more full of possibility
