Coaching with Grace

For more than twenty years I’ve witnessed the struggles creative, sensitive, introverted people go through to engage with projects close to their hearts. Overwhelm and fears of not being good enough crop up for creators at all stages, from getting the first seed of an idea, through to sharing and beyond.

I believe you are the expert about your path as a creative person. My gift as a coach is helping you believe that and own your joy.

I specialize in working with intuitive creatives, highly sensitive people, and INFJ/INFP personality types. I love working with writers and other creators who

• feel overwhelmed, afraid, lost,

• struggle with holding personal boundaries,

• have too many ideas and don’t know how to pick one,

• feel frozen by perfectionism,

• feel deep shame about procrastination,

• feel unsure or struck or frustrated,

• are looking for someone to hold their hand through the process of doing something big and/or scary.

I am not a traditional coach. I don’t push. Instead, I listen deeply and with compassion, using my intuition and experience to encourage you to connect with yourself and where you really want to go. The result is the relief of knowing what you need to do.

The people I coach bring all kinds of things to our calls, and that’s okay, because the whole of us gets involved when we create. Whatever you want to do with your life, whatever you yearn to create or become, I believe in you.

I also provide personalized practical support—how to get from where you are to where you dream of being. With experience in a variety of areas related to writing (including editing, self-publishing, and compassionate productivity), I can help with sorting through options, making decisions, and taking action that feels right, even if it’s scary.

Uncertainty or overwhelm don’t need to keep you from doing what you most want to do.

I offer single sessions rather than packages. Sessions are one hour by phone (for international clients, other call options are available).

A one-hour session is US$150.
