"There is freedom waiting for you, On the breezes of the sky, And you ask "What if I fall?" Oh but my darling, What if you fly?”

― Erin Hanson
The dragonfly in many cultures is associated with change and transformation. What changes are calling to be expressed in your life?

You don't need to have the perfect words to discover what you have within you that is just waiting to be expressed.

Many of us walk through the world armored and numbed to what is happening around us. We may feel like we are sleepwalking through life, anesthetizing ourselves with substances, our phones, our work and our schedules, which can make it a challenge for us to slow down enough be able to hear that still, quiet voice within the depths of our being. Through a combination of coaching and carefully selected writing prompts, I aim to create a warm, safe and nonjudgemental space where you can reawaken to what you really want and dream up what’s next for you.

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”

You know you want to do something to change your life or to connect with like-minded people to bring changes to your workplace, your communities, or on a larger scale, but you don’t know exactly how to do that. You’re stuck. Many of say we’ll get to it “one day” or wring our hands about the state of the world, but never actually take action. This is your invitation from me, to take those first steps toward creating the kind of life, or world, you’d like to see. This six-module class will help you map out a plan to create the changes you want to see in your life and on larger scale that are aligned with your talents, interests, and resources.

  • A grounded place to be heard and witnessed
  • Prompts shaped around your story and goals
  • Clear next steps that still feel like your own

ABOUT ME

I’ve always marched to my own beat. Curious, empathetic, creative, and spiritual, my life has been a journey of exploration and seeking out deeper understanding about myself, the world around me, and the experience of being alive.
As a writer and an empath, I use my skills as a coach and therapeutic writing facilitator to help people feel heard and witnessed. Through careful listening, thoughtful questions, and the power of using writing as a tool for both excavation and exploration, I help my clients discover what they have to say and to recognize that they have the power and ability to create positive changes in their outlook, their lives, and their communities.

It’s known that animals that have been domesticated can continue to behave in the ways they’ve been conditioned even after they are set free. People aren’t that different. I understand what it’s like to feel stuck in boxes that are too small for the truth of who we are. We are all much more complex and interesting than we think. Ultimately, my aim is to help people around me feel supported and witnessed as they seek to heal from losses, face challenges and create their own joyful, purpose-filled paths built on their authentic beliefs and values.
