Writing Coaching

We guide writers, artists, and curious creators deeper into their authentic creative power and full expression, using writing as a tool to get in touch with life in ways that feel authentic, full-bodied, and magical.


This is a unique immersion for new and seasoned writers and artists alike.

Writing asks us to engage with life with full interest and curiosity. It asks us to absorb our experiences, even if there is risk involved — the risk of exposure, of vulnerability, of seeing and being truly seen. This is not unlike what life itself asks of us. Every moment we choose to engage with life is a moment we choose the direction of our energy and attention. In the act of writing, we reflect on ourselves in our lives and intentionally create and re-create narratives about our lives and our perceptions of life. We reclaim our autonomy and identity all while developing our distinct voices as writers and artists, and diving more deeply into the intricacies of written language as a mode of authentic soul-expression. A truly embodied creative technology.

Imagine writing or developing a collection of short stories or poetry, a novel or memoir, personal essays, blog posts, lyrics, whatever you dream of; imagine deepening your self-expression, integrating your lived experience into your writing, refining your writing skills, and fortifying a connection with your creative power.


This 1-1 coaching will support you in:

  • cultivating a consistent and enjoyable writing + artistic practice during which you create work(s) of your choosing, your authentic desire.

  • discovering and expressing your unique creative spirit through language, imagery, and personal lived experience.

  • understanding and embracing your unique (potentially weird and wild) voice through written word and other artistic exploration.

  • accessing all your senses and seeing life as more colorful, vibrant, and interconnected.

  • learning through trauma-informed, somatic-centered, cycle-aware guidance.

  • building a stronger resonance with your intuitive power.
