What I Offer

Life Story & Mythopoetic Memoir

You're writing your life, but you want it to mean something beyond the facts. We work with your lived experience as mythic material — finding the fairytale structure in your biography, the archetypal patterns in your family line, the initiatory map hidden in your hardest chapters. This is memoir that breathes, that transforms, that becomes medicine.

Fairytale & Myth as Creative Portal

You're drawn to a specific tale — through your lineage, or one that you’ve encountered such as Baba Yaga, Vasalisa, Bluebeard, The Handless Maiden — and you sense it's holding a key to your own story. Or you want to retell, reimagine, or write your own mythopoetic fiction that braids the archetypal with the contemporary. We work with myth not as metaphor but as living, speaking wisdom that can shape your creative work from the inside out.

Storytelling Craft & Oral Tradition

You want to learn the bones of story—how to craft a tale that lands, that lingers, that transforms the listener. Whether you're preparing stories for performance, developing your voice as an oral storyteller, or learning to tell your own life as story (not memoir, but lived narrative spoken aloud), we work with rhythm, pacing, archetypal structure, and the somatic presence required to hold a room.

Imaginative & Hybrid Forms

Your work doesn't fit neatly into genre. It's part memoir, part poetry, part dreamscape. It's lyric essay braided with ritual. It's magical realism rooted in your grandmother's kitchen. You need a guide who won't flatten your work into something more "acceptable"—who will help you trust the strange, the liminal, the mythopoetic and shape it into coherent, powerful art.

Nature-Based & Animist Writing

You write with the more-than-human world as character, as teacher, as kin. Your work is rooted in seasonal rhythms, plant wisdom, animal guides, or the voices of place. We explore how to write the living world not as backdrop but as participant in your story—how to track the mythic in the ecological, how to let the land speak through you.

Writing Through Grief, Transition & Threshold Times

You're writing from the raw edge—loss, divorce, illness, career change, Saturn return, the death of an identity you wore for decades. You need a space that can hold the unfinished, the contradictory, the not-yet-resolved. We work with writing as a rite of passage, allowing the page to become the container for transformation you're living through.

Children's & Young Adult Mythopoetic Literature

You're called to write for young people—picture books, middle grade, YA—that carries mythic depth, seasonal wisdom, or soul-nourishing story. Drawing on my Waldorf background and decades of storytelling with children, we work on crafting tales that honor young imaginations while carrying the weight of real magic, real challenge, real transformation.

Manuscript Development & Soul-Level Feedback

You have a manuscript in progress—memoir, novel, essay collection, hybrid work—and you need more than line edits. You need someone who can read the soul of the project, who can see where it's trying to go even when you can't, who can help you excavate the mythic architecture beneath the surface and bring the whole thing into alignment.
