Where Mastery Meets Destiny.
Where Soul Meets Ego.

Where the Book You Were Born to Write Comes Alive.

 

You’ve poured your energy into building a creative life, a business, a body of work.
You’ve helped others, taught, coached, created.
You’ve reached heights you once only dreamed about.
And now — something deeper is stirring.

There’s a book in your soul.
A living, breathing legacy that’s ready to be born.

Yet even as the calling grows louder, you may feel yourself:

  • Unsure where to start — even with all your expertise.

  • Overwhelmed by all the classes, workshops, and advice you’ve already tried.

  • Exhausted from spinning your wheels, trying to do too many things at once.

  • Disheartened that the book still sits on the back burner — a quiet ache you can’t ignore.

  • Frustrated by self-doubt, wondering if your dream will stay unfulfilled forever.

  • Weighed down by burnout, guilt, or fear of failing before you've even begun.

 

If not writing your book has started to make everything else feel harder,
you are standing at a sacred threshold.

It’s time.
It’s time to honor the work your soul has been whispering about.
It’s time to tell your story.
It’s time to answer the call — before the dream fades away.

 
 

Introducing: Aligned Author

A bespoke book coaching journey for soul-led experts, creatives, and writers ready to channel their life's work into a living, breathing legacy.

Aligned Author isn’t just another coaching program.
It’s a sacred container where your deepest creative work is nurtured, structured, and brought into the world with integrity, intuition, and strategy.

Together, we:

  • Honor both the structure and the spirit of the book that wants to be born through you.

  • Clear the blocks — the fears, the self-doubt, the burnout — that have kept you stuck.

  • Align your actions with your soul’s mission — so the work flows with more ease, confidence, and joy.

  • Create a customized path from scattered ideas to finished manuscript — one that honors your creative rhythm, your lived experience, and your vision for impact.

This is not about writing any book.
This is about writing the book only you can write.
The one that turns mastery into legacy.
The one that changes not just your life — but the lives of those you're meant to serve.

I created Aligned Author to provide a sacred space for authors to truly understand what has been holding them back, to learn how to merge the soul with the ego, to live and create in that duality, and to discover their own super powers.

What You'll Receive Inside Aligned Author:

  • A sacred 60–90 minute strategy session to get clear on your soul’s vision and your next aligned steps.

  • A customized action plan tailored to your goals, dreams, and creative rhythm.

  • Weekly 1:1 book coaching sessions (video calls recorded for your reflection) — combining story coaching, business strategy, intuitive insight, and creative ritual.

  • Writing exercises, meditations, and oracle readings to support you in accessing your deepest creative truth.

  • Story structure guidance and manuscript diagnostics to ensure your book flows powerfully from beginning to end.

  • Ongoing accountability and mentorship — weekly, monthly, and through direct messaging — to ensure you stay connected to your creative momentum.

  • Access to group sessions for reflection, celebration, and collective encouragement.

You'll also receive:

  • Less overwhelm and more inner spaciousness.

  • Practical tools for sustainable creativity and success.

  • The profound peace of knowing you fulfilled a soul contract by bringing this book into the world.
