With a background in communications and life coaching; I help business owners and creatives clarify and capture their message by writing for them and with them.
I have had a successful coaching and writing business for the past 10 years. Beginning my journey in content and communications for the non-profit world, I pivoted to coaching and mentoring before returning to my writing roots as a content writer for small businesses.
I now support my clients in connecting, clarifying and expressing themselves through content creation for their dream projects.
However, I did know that I was intuitive, sensitive, spiritual and wanted to support others in healing.
I had this underlying feeling that kept leading me inwards. It whispered that my dreams of peace and play were possible. It reminded me that I am the leader (YOU ARE TOO) of my life experience and I am worthy of LOVE.
I write with my heart W I D E O P E N! I write with a voice that is deeper, wiser and authentically me.
The result?
Readers + clients responding with:
My clients tell me they feel INSPIRED to start their week. They feel connected to the part of themselves they assumed was lost or didn’t belong in their project. They share that internally they feel different!
The secret is that they are being their truest and most authentic selves and this captivates not only their audience – it captivates themselves!
Since I was young, I was curious and captivated by people’s life stories. I spent hours reading Chicken Soup for The Soul while my friends were reading The Babysitter’s Club.
I was a safe space for many before I even understood what that meant. People shared deep and personal experiences and understandings about life with me which I in turn received as reflections for my own unique journey.
I don’t believe that anything that has happened in your life experience defines you in any way. I believe we are so much bigger than that. I believe each person is shaped by their challenges and has something incredible to offer the world – their unique learnings, services, and creations.
Being sensitive I often struggled with emotional wellness. I experienced periods of depression, anxiety, insecurity and an overall helplessness that clouded my vision and led to deep suffering.
I thought my sensitivity made me weak or incapable. I thought my lack of action meant I would never move forward. These were untrue and through my journey I discovered that I am so much more than the sum of my parts.
Creative expression and supporting others on their journey is my greatest passion. For me, writing has been a long lost love that I only recently welcomed back with open arms.
Not feeling confident enough to share my message with the world was painful. The fear of rejection and comparison to others held me back for years.
Yet, the more I focused on my heart and being authentic, the more the whisper to take action became louder and clearer. I couldn’t stand it any longer, it became inevitable that I would overcome these fears and start sharing my truth through creative expression.
I believe the journey of creative expression is an inward journey of remembering and healing. It supports us in reconnecting with our truest and most authentic selves. It is not about the outcome but about the journey itself!
For me, the possibilities are endless. My life feels connected, inspired and on purpose! It is also about allowing the right people to find you through your unique communication, modality and energy!
Writing and communication needs a home. It is the bridge that brings the formless + feminine to a stable structure. Creative expression is connecting to the formless within us, it is the unconditional love we are bursting and overflowing to give; yet in order to give or share it with others it requires a canvas or platform.
This may look like a cookbook that showcases your favorite family recipes, an online portfolio that showcases your art, a book that showcases your internal journey, a website that showcases your offerings, a blog or podcast that showcases your realizations and experiences, a Youtube channel that showcases your yoga sequences.
The opportunities for creative expression are infinite – they begin with you carving out the time to begin AND complete a creative project.
Beyond the possibilities of rejection, judgment, fear and failure, there is more waiting for you. Are you ready to move past these waves to the peaceful waters of creative collaboration?
If your answer is YES – let’s do this! Together we will remember what you love, gain clarity and move forward towards crafting, creating and publishing your message so you can shine and share your creative gifts with the world!
