About

I write books and facilitate workshops for children and adults, and coach adults one on one. It sounds like three jobs. It's really one. Most people live with a harsh inner voice. It says try harder, you're not enough, what's wrong with you. It drains them at work, in relationships, and in the quiet moments alone. I help people build a safe environment inside themselves. Soft, nurturing, full of loving kindness. A place that reparents their being, so the inner tone that meets them on hard days nurtures them instead of fighting them. Less what's wrong with you. More I've got you. I do this with people from 4 to 94. Children are at the critical age when this inner environment is first being formed. What takes root now becomes the voice they live with for life. Adults arrive exhausted, after decades of living with a critical space inside. It is never too late to rebuild. With children, I work through stories and workshops. I'm an author and illustrator with two picture books forthcoming from Penguin Random House, winner of the SCBWI Don Freeman Grant, and founder of The Little Soul, a nonprofit creating mindfulness story apps. With adults, I work through the body. I'm a Certified Psyc
