Start Your Writing Journey Program
A 1:1 guided experience for new (or returning) writers who want to begin with confidence, clarity, and support.
You’ve been wanting to write. Maybe for years. You have ideas, memories, stories, or feelings that keep circling back. But getting started — truly started — feels overwhelming. Sound familiar?
That’s where this program comes in.
Start Your Writing Journey is a gentle, structured 1:1 experience designed to help you build a foundation of writing safety, discover what you want to write, and create one piece you feel proud of. You’ll be guided, supported, and encouraged every step of the way — without pressure, perfectionism, or comparison.
This is for writers of all levels who are ready to take the first step.
What’s Included
1 Deep-Dive Session (60–90 minutes)
A spacious Zoom conversation where we explore:
what writing feels like for you right now
what you need to feel safe, grounded, and confident
the stories or ideas that are calling for your attention
the kind of piece you want to create
the supports and rhythms that will help you show up
You’ll also do a short guided writing activity to help you discover the heart of your piece, and together we’ll create a personalized writing plan that works with your life.
You’ll leave this call with clarity, direction, and your first writing invitation.
3 Supportive Check-Ins & Feedback
Short, focused touch points (Zoom or asynchronous) to help you stay connected to your writing.
Check-In 1: Momentum
We talk about what you’ve written, celebrate what’s working, and navigate any stuck points.
Check-In 2: Draft Development
You’ll receive gentle, strengths-focused feedback and guidance for shaping your full draft.
Check-In 3: Revision + Completion
We walk through high-level edits, flow, and emotional resonance to help you finish a piece you feel good about.
What You’ll Walk Away With
Significant progress on a piece of writing (the amount of writing that gets done is solely dependent on how much writing your do–I can offer all the support in the world, but you still have to do the writing)
a writing routine that actually fits your life
a renewed sense of confidence in your voice
strategies for staying grounded, supported, and safe while writing
the tools to keep going long after the program ends
This Program is Perfect For You If…
you want to start a writing practice but don’t know where to begin
you feel overwhelmed by the idea of a “first draft”
you crave gentle guidance, accountability, and encouragement
you want to explore writing as a form of expression, creativity, or healing
you’re ready to take your writing seriously — but softly
A Different Kind of Writing Support
This isn’t about deadlines or perfection.
It’s about creating space.
It’s about listening inward.
It’s about finding what you want to say — and giving yourself permission to say it.
You don’t have to do this alone.

Perfect. This program was designed for beginners — and returning writers who feel rusty. You don’t need experience, a topic, or confidence. You just need curiosity and willingness.
-
No. Many people come in unsure.
We’ll explore what’s calling you during the deep-dive call, and I’ll guide you toward a piece that feels meaningful and doable. -
That’s entirely up to you. Past clients have created:
personal essays
reflective pieces
short stories
poems
letters
children’s stories
brief collections of vignettes
The focus is on creating something true — not something perfect.
-
You’ll make meaningful progress on your piece, but whether it’s fully finished depends on your own writing rhythm. I’ll guide and support you every step of the way, while you decide how much time and energy you can give your work.
-
I recommend setting aside at least 60 minutes per week, which can be broken into short 20-minute sessions. This keeps your piece alive without adding pressure, while still supporting real momentum and commitment to your craft.

Then you’re in the right place.
We’ll talk about writing safety, gentle practices, and ways to keep moving without shutting down. You’ll have support the whole way through. -
This program is intentionally flexible.
If you need more time between check-ins, that’s totally okay. You won’t lose your spot or be penalized. We’ll find a rhythm that fits your life. -
Yes — you’ll receive gentle, strengths-based feedback during Check-In #2 and a supportive review of your final piece during Check-In #3. No red pens. No overwhelm.

Writing is personal. Your stories, your voice, and your inner world deserve a coach who understands both the craft and the emotional landscape of creating. My approach is rooted in safety, clarity, and compassion—because meaningful writing can only happen when you feel supported, seen, and grounded.
You’ll be guided, not pushed.
I don’t believe in harsh critiques, rigid rules, or productivity-at-all-costs. Instead, I offer thoughtful, strengths-focused guidance that helps you grow without overwhelm.
You get support that meets you where you are.
Whether you’re writing for the first time, returning after a long pause, or deep in a project, I tailor our work to your needs, pace, and goals. Your writing journey is unique—you deserve support that honours that.
You’ll build safety, confidence, and trust in your voice.
As an author, teacher, writing mentor, and speaker, I’ve spent years helping people write from a place of emotional steadiness. Together, we create the conditions where your voice can expand and your creativity can breathe.
Your stories matter—and I treat them that way.
I listen deeply. I notice what’s working. I pay attention to the heart of your writing. And I reflect it back to you with honesty, encouragement, and care.
You won’t be doing it alone.
Writing can feel isolating—but it doesn’t have to. When we work together, you have someone in your corner: cheering you on, helping you navigate stuck places, celebrating your progress, and holding space for your words.
