Hi there! I’m Janelle.
I help creative, sensitive people reclaim their stories and their bodies through memoir-writing, using myth, fairy tale, and somatic healing.
Years ago, I felt locked up in my body and silenced in my stories. But once I began working with fairy tale and myth and writing through the body, my storytelling voice came alive.
The Selkie story has been a guiding fairy tales, for 15+ years now.
Now I’m offering you multiple versions of this tale, along with guidance and prompts, so you can see how the Selkie tale might guide your story too.
“Janelle is absolutely amazing, the real deal and a woman of integrity, amazing, professional, insightful and compassionate.”

“Janelle’s brilliant guidance through our creative process allows for focus and elimination of distraction.”
