Your Story Matters
You have a mission, a message, and a community to reach. I’m here to help you find clarity with words - and within your mind - so that your impact can grow with ease.
Maybe you're a small business looking for messaging that truly connects with your audience. Maybe you're a nonprofit devoted to raising awareness and securing needed funds. Or perhaps you're a mother navigating the deep transformation of raising children while growing a business, and seek guidance and a deep sigh.
I help purpose-driven individuals, brands, and organizations craft stories that inspire action—whether through compelling stories, communications strategy, or thoughtful guidance.
I understand the power of words to build trust, mobilize support, and make an impact. Storytelling needs to be at the center.
But how do you know you can trust me?
Years ago, I opened a yoga studio in a small town after nearly a decade working in nonprofits and education. I was wildly unsure if it would succeed, but was pulled by a mission greater than me. Spoiler alert: Yoga Dear flourished. We opened to a packed house, and were filled mat to mat with students in less than a year.
Alongside teaching yoga, I honed my craft in copywriting and community-building. Upon selling the studio, I continued working with private yoga clients, especially mothers, and then expanded into communications consulting for small businesses, nonprofits, and women carving their own career paths to support their families.
I’m also a other of three, and understand the pull between meaningful work and being present for what matters most. Let me lighten your load. My approach is grounded, strategic, and heart-centered—designed to help you tell your story in a way that cuts through the day to day noise and resonate with your people.
If you're ready to breathe life into your messaging, write to me below and we’ll schedule a time to chat.
In addition to my creative services, I support mothers with yoga and postpartum care through my perinatal care business, Afterglow. A multihyphenate to the core, my husband and I founded Flower House Farm Virginia, where we grow cut flowers, medicinal herbs and host small gatherings in the blooms.
Let’s chat over tea.
Take five minutes to tell me a little about you and how I can help. From there, we’ll schedule a free 30 minute consultation over the phone or Zoom.
