Witnessing
I want to see you
as you truly are
There is a real magic that happens when we allow ourselves to be truly seen. Behind the masks, behind the stories, behind the places we have outgrown our skin but still try to hold on to it.
Sometimes, we don’t even know that we are holding on to past versions of our self. We’ve become so comfortable in them — like a favorite sweater in the middle of winter — that when our shape and form changes we still turn to the familiar, regardless of how well it doesn’t fit.
Have any of us truly seen ourselves authentically?
I want to sit with you as you unpack the changes, remove layers of papier-mâché masks and place them in the fire of your becoming. I want to hear the stories you don’t share with others that created pivotal pieces of your identity — the things that shaped who you are in the world but are not all of who you are.
Come and sit a spell. Share with me your truth.

Reflection
I want to show you
your genuine self
It starts with a conversation.
You and I, sitting down to chat (by video, or perhaps in person). I have done my homework: reviewed who you are on social media, checked out any websites or bylines you’ve got to your name, and studied the questionnaire you complete when we agree to work together. You have done your homework: completed said questionnaire, determined how you want to be seen in the world, and prepared yourself to show up completely with me.
The conversation lasts anywhere from an hour to three hours, and is the first of three such tête-à-têtes. In them, the focus is both on where you have been and where you are going so that I can learn how you are standing in your right now — in your authority, in your truth, in your power.
“It’s the questions ... that make a spark light in your eyes and reveal a person’s soul...”
And then I do my part. Sitting with the information you share and the stories you tell me, I begin writing. I create the story of your history and a reckoning of who you are in the world. For you, for your loved ones, for your right people to see you and be drawn into your magic.
Reckoning
an accounting of
your authentic self
Between the writings and the conversation, we create a collection — like several pieces of jewelry organized around a theme — and bring it into the world. Stories, memories, snippets of who you are and how you show up.
Some might say that this is a biography of you, written to capture a moment in time. In some ways, it is. But it’s also so much more — it’s a narrative, a time capsule, a beautiful accounting of everything that has made you who you are and how you show up to your life.
You’ll receive a beautiful, printed hardcover book filled with the snapshots of words and images co-created through our sessions. This is both a mirror and a memory — a place you can return when the world has clouded your vision of yourself.
This book isn’t the result of the process. It’s just the most tangible piece I can describe. The truth is, the experience of being witnessed so deeply by someone whose work in the world is to reflect your truest self back to you is life-altering.

I don’t work this magic with someone who isn’t strong enough to see their true self.
This work forces out the unreliable narrators we’re expected to suffer through in our lives. These are the voices within and without us: from angry parents to dissatisfied bosses, from exes to teachers to kids and everyone in between. And the voices of society and culture, the constraints of capitalism and patriarchy that anyone willing to even acknowledge the systems of oppression can see are killing us.
When you step into this work with me, you are consciously choosing to look in the mirror and actually see the human looking back.
You might not like what you see. You might love that human for the first time in your life. You might not recognize the shape of your jaw or the way your left eyelid hangs a little lower than your right. This work takes a very zoomed-in approach in uncovering how you move through the world, and then it turns around and shows you exactly who you are and what you are all about in this moment.
I will change the way you see yourself. Forever.
