Story Healing is here to help you. The idea behind Story Healing is that every one of us holds a unique story. And while not everyone wants to write a book, we all need someone to listen when we feel stuck in life. Being able to share the story of your heart and soul helps you feel less lonely, identify your true purpose and focus on what changes you might like to make either in your life or in the world. If that feels too lofty, what you may not have realised is how much your story could help someone else too.
If you’ve thought about writing a memoir or sharing your story, yet it feels too raw to reveal all the facts, why not explore how your story could work as fiction or as creative non-fiction to underpin your business idea? That’s the magic within any book - we laugh, we learn and we live differently because of something someone else taught us!
​
So what’s my story? I’ve worked in corporate marketing, earning a salary to keep a roof over my head. I’ve adapted my skills to copywriting, following my passion to help businesses share their success stories. I moved into publishing to help authors learn marketing skills to finish writing and promote their books. Then as I began to find more time for my own creative writing, I started on a journey to retrain as a therapist because I realised some of the issues which cause us to get stuck creatively are best solved with someone else to hear your story. It can help you move forwards before you write.
Now I’m on a mission to write my books and help people feel less lonely yet be their authentic selves. I am an empathic listener, a curious problem solver, a marketing mentor, a book coach, a compassionate writer and a true connector. I’ve spent years working through solving different business and life challenges and learned how to quickly identify and remove blockages. After just one session with me, you’ll feel lighter and more ready to focus on your next steps - whether that’s a book or a different life goal. “A problem shared, is a problem halved.”
Since working in publishing, I have been a beta reader for authors, as well as editor for a non-fiction collaboration book. I too have unfinished book projects therefore I really know what it feels like to get stuck. Stuck in your head, stuck in your heart and stuck in your body. Which is where I came up with the idea for Unblock Your Soul Story - the mini course which will help you plan a framework for your book.
You can start writing without a plan, and as soon as you hit any resistance, use this simple three step course to develop your ideas and tackle writer’s block in other creative ways. It’ll help you move forward again.
