Release, honor, inspire, and transform through the power of words.
Let’s make writing feel good.
For anyone who’s ever had a story to tell, obstacles arise that may seem insurmountable.
You’ve got something inside you, something that needs to come out, but you’re paralyzed, over-thinking, wondering if it’s even worth the effort.
Underneath all of that, you’re simply afraid.
Once you let the words out, you’re changed forever. Once you let them out, you can’t put them back in. And that is where the beauty lives.
As a doula I can’t help but relate this process back to birth. Letting something out that was once a part of you is the ultimate form of surrender. Surrender to possibility, expansion, freedom, and transformation.
That’s why, like any birthing mama, you need support.
Yes, that story needs to come out and see the light. No, you don’t have to do it alone.
I’m Jaime, your
writing doula.
I give you the support you desire and require to finally write your soul’s true expression. My role is not to control or judge. I’m here to listen deeply, share what I know, and hold your hand as you birth your writing project into the world.
You’re here because you want to write stories that matter, and share ideas that you’re passionate about.
You want to harness the power of writing as a tool for self-inquiry, consciousness, growth, healing and liberation.
You might even know, down to your bones, that a book is begging to be birthed into the world through you.
Here are just some of the ways writing can enrich your journey:
- Process your story, shine a light on the darkness, and heal your hurts
- Honor the truth about your life, your experiences, and your expression
- Liberate yourself from the past and fully process the lessons you’ve learned
- Enhance your self-awareness and learn more about your number one ally, yourself
- Alchemize your pain into service and create positive change in the world
- And so much more…
You want someone who can gently, firmly and encouragingly hold you accountable for your work’s progress and empower you along every step in making your vision a reality.
Whatever your project and passion, you want to feel supported, courageous, confident, clear, energized, and accountable when it comes to your writing.
I’ve got you covered.
If you already have a working manuscript for a book or story collection, please check out my editing services.
When it comes to writing, I’ve done it all.
Quick backstory: I have a Master’s in Teaching Writing
I worked as a writing professor for six years, I was a full-time copywriter for a decade, and I’ve written two books. I’m also a doula, for birthing mamas, not just books. I’ve used writing as a tool to help me honor my life’s experiences and I love supporting others to do the same.
My other passions— embodied movement, natural wellness, and healing trauma through creative expression— inform my life and work perspective; these are additional offerings I weave into our work together (for example, I may suggest you dance around your living room or put on a song “that really gets you” and paint).
How can I serve you best?
