Good question!

Writing a memoir takes a lot of time and energy.

However, getting started on a memoir requires a bit of structure first. You need to know what you want to focus on, where your starting points are, what the ‘lay of the land’ is, so to speak.

This workshop gives you enough of a plan to get started with confidence and optimism.

Absolutely. I also offer an online 13-module transformational memoir-writing course The Art of Personal Mythmaking. You can take this as a self-directed process, as well as a live, 6-month weekly classroom experience (once a year). It’s rich, deep and wonderful. But you have to do this workshop first anyways, so let’s start here.

Thanks for asking.

I’ve got an exceptional amount of skill, training and experience in interviewing, writing, working with people one-on-one in a healing environment, and drawing out stories.

I’ve been working as a trauma-informed Structural Integrator (Rolfing) doing one-on-one hands-on healing bodywork for 17+ years, am a couple months away from full certification as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and have teaching individuals and groups for 20+ years.

I’m also a published writer with a BA in Anthropology, an MA in Dance and a Diploma in Hellerwork Structural Integration. I’ve worked as a research assistant at Yukon Archives, as a teacher and teaching assistant at various colleges and universities, and taught creative writing and healing workshops online and in person.

I’m a great listener and I’m always attuned for patterns, deeper meanings and great stories.

I have an appreciation for context, history, and take the role of helping people birth their creations into the world very seriously (without forgetting that fun is important!)

Yes, I always send out a replay right after the workshop ends.

The replay is usually available for between 6 to 10 days, so make sure to plan to watch the replay soon!
