Unfurl Your Creativity

Do you have a writing project that is sitting in your head or in a document, just waiting to be set free?

Maybe you want to write a book but you don’t know where to start. Perhaps you are midway through a collection of short stories or poems but you’re running into some sticky spots. Or maybe you want to apply to a grad program but the thought of writing a personal essay makes you want to 🤮.

Don’t worry! That’s where I come in. Through 1:1 coaching sessions, we’ll identify your goals and work through challenges that come up, as a team.

Whether you are in the ideation phase or you’ve already begun writing, I am here to help you expand your relationship with writing, set and smash your goals, and gain momentum.

Through one-on-one coaching sessions, we will:

  • define your message

  • discuss the best format and flow

  • determine writing goals that are just the right level of challenging

  • work through obstacles as they arise

  • elevate the overall quality of your work

  • go over feedback and edits from Meredith

  • identify your audience and the best publishing process for you (if applicable)

Lean on me when you’re working through barriers such as uncertainty, creative blockages, low self-esteem, not being able to manage your time efficiently, or not knowing what your next steps should be. I will support you and help your confidence grow throughout the entire journey.

We’ll also discuss payment and scheduling.

  • We can meet weekly, twice a month, or monthly, depending on your needs.

  • I offer text check-ins to support you in-between sessions. We can easily schedule a quick 30-minute call at anytime, if you need it. I’m here to support you!

  • I will email you an invoice and you can pay directly through the invoice with your credit card or via ACH (bank transfer). Venmo also works. Let's chat about what option makes the most sense for you.

    I also offer payment plans.

  • Yes! Contracts are rad. I use a simple coaching contract that outlines our agreement, including the structure of the package you choose, payment terms, scheduling policies, and other important details.

    It protects both of us and creates a clear, professional foundation for our work together. I always send a draft for clients to review before finalizing it.

  • I do! I lead workshops and retreats. I also host occasional writing nights. They are mostly in Central Oregon or virtual. For updates, check out my Workshops + Retreats page or follow me on IG (@wordup.coaching).

    Would you like to hire me to lead a group writing session or retreat? Let’s chat.

  • I love my job because I get to connect with creative humans who are tackling an arduous pursuit: finding the right words to put to their experience. They’re processing what they’ve lived through and because of that, I’m witnessing them healing and growing.

    I get to share what I’ve learned about written communication and getting to know/love oneself with my clients. I get to support them through times of challenge. I get to cheer them on and watch them cross the finish line.

    My clients trust me with their inner worlds, which means everything to me.

    Each time I end a coaching call, I feel stoked. I feel energized. I found my dream job. How lucky am I?!
