birth your book
Birthing a book is both an inner journey of discovery and an outer process of creative manifestation. As a book doula, I am here to support you in bridging the inner and the outer to bring your book to life. My gift is my ability to see and make contact with the essence of your idea in its purest form—and to help clear a path to bring that idea forth with the highest level of integrity and authenticity.
I support my clients on the journey from concept to creation with editorial projects including book proposals, non-fiction books, Substack newsletters and online content series, and workshops. (Several have referred to me as their “secret weapon”!) In an immersive and personalized process, we work together to clarify your vision, attune to your true voice, and find the path of least resistance to executing your ideas.
You’ll have not only a compassionate guide and coach but also a meticulous editor and seasoned collaborator by your side. I bring to this process more than 12 years of experience as an editor and collaborative writer, and on a more subtle level, a decade-plus of wisdom and techniques gained from working with world-class spiritual teachers, healers, coaches and therapists. It’s my joy to apply this unique blend of skills and expertise to serve as a kind of creative midwife for authors in the process of finding their voice and bringing their most important and soulful work into form.
