I'm a writer, host of the annual online Healing Through Writing Festival and the creator/teacher of a transformational memoir-writing course called The Art of Personal Mythmaking.

This process uses somatic (body) writing prompts, stories like fairy tale and myth, and themed modules to support people who want to heal from the difficult parts of their life stories as they write their memoirs.

You can find me on instagram, as do many of my students and clients.

I've helped young single mothers, organic farmers, cabinetmakers, PhD writers and editors, psychotherapists, professional novelists, podcasters, entrepreneurs, stay-at-home moms, former Members of Parliament, retired teachers, spiritual directors, principals (and more) heal from the difficult parts of their life story as they write the first drafts of their memoirs and reclaim themselves.

I'm a born and raised Yukoner and single mother and I've worked as a trauma-informed bodyworker in the hands-on healing arts fields since 2007  and as an artist (writing, painting + dance) for 17+ years.

Throughout that time I've taught adults out of my living room, arts centres, universities and community colleges.

Since 2017 I've integrated all of my expertise, including a BA in Anthropology, an MA in Dance, a Diploma in Structural Integration (Rolfing) and an almost complete certification in Somatic Experiencing (nervous system trauma resolution), into supporting people in their creative healing work via the alchemy of transformational memoir-writing.
