Step into the power of your story
with one on one Story Consult sessions
Tired of feeling stuck – even as you embrace your own readiness to tell a story that is calling you?
I help creative souls – especially women of color - live their story-journeys with a sense of play and curiosity so that their stories become manifest and they enjoy the process and grow from it.

You don't have to tell stories that fit into any tradition except your clear mysterious ineffable truth.
In fact, trying to fit in is the fastest way to stop the story from speaking in its own voice.
As your story guide, I share cross cultural story-songs and use a variety of playful, intuitive techniques to liberate you from “shoulds” (a story should be this or that) so you are writing with abandon and enthusiasm.
Together, we write, journey, embody, play, set goals, make action plans, talk about process; I share insights and feedback - all so you and your story keep growing.

Memoir, fiction, poetry, plays, scripts, or hybrids – whatever you write, you are the authority of your own vision.
My work is to support you in excavating what is buried and nurturing a story that reflects the particularity of your voice, the you-ness of you. |
|
I design your story-journey to encourage a felt body sense of inspiration which becomes a guide to living in resonance with your true nature.
Getting started is simple
Just come as you are and we'll discover the story that wants to manifest.

"Most of my life has been a pilgrimage even though I'm not on a conventional route.
How to write about this?
I feel the stories I want to create are for myself and also a community of women of color who are rising… it is a lot to carry on my own.
I don’t want to feel pigeon holed in any way, especially in my writing; I also want to understand craft.
I’ve never shied away from life experiences and I want to feel my power in this story that belongs to me."
