I am a writer, teacher, and narrative guide who helps people unearth hidden truths and write—and live!—new stories into being.
For more than two decades, I have accompanied writers, leaders, and seekers through moments of profound transition. My work draws from my background as an award-winning author and ghostwriter, my long-standing contemplative practice, and my training in narrative, somatic, and mindfulness traditions.
I am the creator of Literary Alchemy, a writing method that blends narrative mapping, mythic imagination, mindful awareness, and the craft of writing. This work has helped hundreds of writers and creatives uncover deeper truths, reshape their narratives, bring their stories to life, and publish their books to great acclaim.
I also co-teach Embodied Wisdom with Master Somatic Coach Jennifer Reitz. Together, we offer workshops for people and practitioners—coaches, therapists, and mindfulness teachers—who want to move beyond habitual patterns and outdated narratives and embody greater presence, power, and resilience in their lives and work.
I am a Certified Mindfulness Teacher–Professional Level (CMT-P) through the International Mindfulness Teachers Association, with teacher training through Dharma Moon/Tibet House with David Nichtern and mindfulness mentoring with Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield. I have studied meditation for over twenty years.
My writing has appeared in publications such as Fast Company, BusinessWeek, and Harvard Business Review. My books include Iron Maidens and Tree Dreams, with forthcoming titles including The Right Mountain: Practical Wisdom for Achieving True Wealth written with Matt Ludmer (Partners Media, Spring 2026) and The Embodied Wisdom Workbook co-authored with Jennifer Reitz.
