Publishing & Creation Packages

Bespoke Services for Busy Professionals

How does someone even launch a business, or create a book or deck of cards anyways?

​

Learn from someone with a proven track record of success. You will have the added benefit of learning from a serial entrepreneur who has founded and run multiple businesses, and is also extensively trained in communication and psychological therapies, spirituality, trauma, and a background history in metaphysical studies.

 

Sure, there are other assisted self-publishing services available for hire, but there are none with the unique set of skills I have acquired, and none that have been extensively mentored by a Best Selling Author and Hollywood Producer and Screenwriter.

 

I know how to navigate the bumpy, complex ride of having a human mind and a passionate heart, while also capitalizing on the magic of a neurodivergent brain.

​

I have two decades of practice in psychological realms. I can get the shadowy parts of your personality off-line and out of the way, so that the highest expression of your light can shine out to the world.

 

Navigating the self-employment world can be daunting. With my step-by-step guidance, you’ll have a trusted guide to take you through the entire process—from ideation to creation, choosing the right platform and world to birth your brilliance into. 

​

I'd love to help you strategize how to more successfully launch or run your existing business, or make you an author of a book or deck.
