a word after a word

after a word is

power.

-Margaret Atwood

I want you to find that power.

Hello lovelies.

I am so happy to have you here. My entire purpose in life is creating & sharing joy & connection. You can find me lost in creation, 2am honest conversations with people I love, deep and dirty humaning… & booming laughter (if you’ve heard my laugh, you know that "booming" is very much the correct adjective).

offerings:

Fun & experiential practical psychology classes reconnect with your confidence and sense of connection, whether you're feeling stuck, anxious, alone, burned out, or disconnected. You'll learn to know & trust yourself better, feel genuinely seen, & move forward with clarity. And it's fun.

Creative writing classes to unlock and develop your unique voice. Either theme or skills focused, each class explores how to create sparkling fresh imagery and unique grounded authenticity while discovering great contemporary writers.

A multi-modality coaching approach to engaging with joy more & releasing what's blocking you from doing what you wish you were doing, feeling what you wish you were feeling, creating what you wish you were creating in the world.

about me

Author of the poetry collection, ex traction, I am a writer, editor, educator, artist, coach, reiki master, traveler, language lover & walking heart. I love learning so much, I joked I would die with ten degrees, but instead turned that love into teaching & coaching professionals who do things like build spaceships so that I get to learn while sharing wisdom I've collected.

I hold a BA in Creative Writing & Linguistics, an MFA in Creative Writing & studies in MFT, have won awards for writing & community service for over 20 years, had stories, poems, memoir, & visual art published in & on the cover of lit mags, had my poetry turned into operas, been a featured reader at major museums & literary events, & am a bit of a modern day witch (I call my brand of magic 'skeptical woo').

I'm somatics & trauma informed, & trained in brainspotting (EMDR), systems work, & I know how to ask questions that help you see that thing that's just outside your view, always vibrating in the periphery.

Most importantly, I really, truly care about how you think, express yourself, make art, live, see yourself, interact within your relationships, your craft, & your world. Whether we're talking about how you write or how you live, I want to help you create something you are deeply excited about.

I work in both English or French

In-person in Toulouse or remote.
