“I found in Carolyn a friend, a coach, and a writing partner. She flowed like water, side by side with me, with such elegance, delicacy, and respect—not only polishing my writing, but fertilizing my ideas, inspiring me, seeing my best and helping me to bring it to the paper.”
“Carolyn helped me on a large writing project and I could not have been more happy with her work and our collaboration. She brought so much knowledge and know-how to the job, and had such a great way of getting information from me to inform what she was writing. Everything she produced was beyond top-drawer and working with her was a true pleasure. Carolyn is highly recommended to help you with whatever your writing project may be!” - Eileen McKusick, author, sound therapist and researcher; Vermont
"Carolyn helped me create a 20,000-word book proposal, which soon after secured me a literary agent and (hopefully soon) a publishing deal. Carolyn saved me tons of time and headaches by reworking, adding and deleting sections and ensuring the proposal had the best structure. It was a joy to get her expert guidance and I highly recommend working with her." - James Swanwick, Alcohol-Free Lifestyle Coach and Entrepreneur, Australia
“For more than 20 years, I have longed to write a book. I had many ideas, but did not know where or how to start. Last year I was lucky enough to meet Carolyn, who worked closely with me through the process of writing a book proposal. Carolyn is intelligent and intuitive, and she guided me with curiosity, patience, and persistence. She is a consummate professional, always kind, and at times firm, which is exactly what I needed.
We did it! I have a completed book proposal, and I couldn’t be happier with it. I highly recommend Carolyn to guide you on your writing journey.” - Paul Browde M.D., Psychiatrist, New York City
“I first contacted Carolyn for help with my project of creating an online workshop that could bring ancient shamanic knowledge to the modern world. The project involved much more than rewriting old rituals and practices. It was about developing language, methods, and tools to create a completely new kind of shamanism that could be aligned with our culture, speaking to our times, and helping us with our current challenges. As a non-native English speaker, starting a project of such dimension - in English - was quite a challenge for me. Yet, working with Carolyn was an awesome experience that surpassed all my expectations. I found in Carolyn a friend, a coach, and a writing partner. She flowed like water, side by side with me, with such elegance, delicacy, and respect—not only polishing my writing, but fertilizing my ideas, inspiring me, seeing my best and helping me to bring it to the paper.
I’m looking forward for a next project and when time comes, I will definitively work with Carolyn again. Yet, my experience with her helped me to find my voice and develop maturity enough for writing my own articles and doing some small projects by myself. I couldn’t be more grateful!” - Ruda Iande, Shamanic Teacher, Brazil
“Writing my first book has been a long, powerful, intense journey. Along the way, I've experienced a rollercoaster of emotions and have hit various bumps in the road. For a moment, I considered abandoning the process. What gave me the fuel to keep going? Awe-inspiring support.
Carolyn's support made all of the difference. I am saying this with every bit of authenticity; I truly do not know what I would do without her. Initially, I struggled with the structure of my story, as it is a memoir, and finding a consistent voice. Carolyn's suggestions and guidance allowed me to move forward with clarity and confidence. Her expertise, coupled with her beautiful way of not just navigating the writing process, but life overall, is exactly what's required to birth an extraordinary book. Carolyn is absolutely brilliant, consistent, and purely nurturing. For someone to support me in such an intimate unfolding, I couldn't imagine having it any other way. To work with Carolyn is a gift. I highly recommend birthing your book with her.” - Lana Shay, Tantric Teacher and Feminine Embodiment Coach, Los Angeles
"Our work with Carolyn was so enjoyable that a part of us didn't want it to end. She helped us transform an idea into something concrete that offers real value to the public, despite the challenges and constraints we've had. She is a real gem and an absolute pleasure to work with." - Gabriel Mokayed, Filmmaker and Founder of blank.paris, France
"Working with Carolyn was the best decision I could have made while writing my first book. She helped me through the entire process from getting structure to my ideas and mapping out the book. She supported me throughout the entire process, as a coach offering feedback and even holding space for the emotions that arose (which always arise when writing a book!) She also did a fantastic job editing and providing feedback on the final manuscript. I felt like she just got me, and got my vision for the book and this kind of support during such a powerful birthing process is so supportive. Thank you Carolyn!" - Nadine Lee, Teacher of Tantra and Feminine Embodiment, Australia
"Carolyn is the best. She's been my editor for over a year and we’ve been able to collaborate with such ease and flow. The work we are creating together is beautiful and she always captures my personal voice. I can't highly recommend her enough!" - Matt Hunter, Executive Coach, Colorado
