Why Me?
I am an author, journalist, teacher, and memoir-writing coach. I have 30-plus years’ experience writing and editing books and stories at the highest levels of publishing.
I also know about trauma. I understand depression, addiction, and the shame that come with them. I’ve experienced painful emotional flashbacks. I have suffered from attachment wounds, addiction, shame, and self-defeating thinking patterns. These are the very demons that stopped me in my tracks mid-career and led to a five-year stint as an overmedicated, homebound zombie.
I’ve also been on a decade-long journey of healing. I’ve worked to overcome some of these issues, and I’ve learned to accept my limitations, too.
I am a writer whose work has appeared in the nation’s top publications. I’m an experienced professional editor and a seasoned memoir writing instructor. I’m also a trained and certified yoga and mindfulness teacher. I have professional teaching certifications in both yoga and meditation.
I’m uniquely qualified to teach writing courses that help people write about their journeys of healing and personal transformation. (I am not a mental health professional.)
You’ve been on one hell of a journey. Make 2023 the year that you TELL YOUR STORY. Inhale, exhale. And start writing. I’ll show you how.
