Our lives are the stories we tell through the living of them. I’ve found story to be profoundly healing, whether I’m writing it, reading it, directing or watching it in a play, or conducting a ritual that tells its own story. By healing, I mean a call back to center. Sometimes we get out of whack or balance, and stories can recalibrate us, put things in perspective, and help us reenter life’s flow.

All of our stories are important. I would be delighted to support you in discovering, creating, and thriving in your own stories. Find out more about my creative writing coaching and workshops and services for retreats, weddings, and other ceremonies, and get some regular inspiration from my blog, Story Water. And stay tuned for my upcoming publications, especially my first novel, Putting Makeup on Dead People.

Jen inspires me to put to paper extraordinary thoughts about the most ordinary parts of my life. The heart, not the pen, is now my primary tool.
