presence-based creative writing mentorship

These private sessions are presence-based and tailor-made to your specific needs — a space for women who feel ready to come back to themselves.

Together, we use:

Writing as a tool for self-discovery
Poetry and storytelling to reveal what’s hidden beneath the surface
Somatic awareness to reconnect with the wisdom of the body
Conversation and witnessing to help you step further into your truth

This is not traditional coaching.

It is a creative, embodied process that helps you:

• reclaim your voice
• process life transitions and heartbreak
• reconnect with your creativity
• step out of shrinking and into your inherent power
• remember the woman you were always meant to be

When words begins to move through you, your life starts to move, too.

This Work is For You if…

You are a woman who:

• is done shrinking
• wants to trust her voice again
• senses there is more life inside her than she’s currently living
• longs for deeper self-connection
• wants a creative pathway back to herself

why work with me?

You wouldn’t take flying lessons from someone
who’s never flown.

And you shouldn’t take self-love advice from someone who’s never had to fight for it.

I’m not here to sell you a fantasy. I’m here because I’ve walked through hell — and chose to rise. Not once. Over and over again.

I fled a marriage that almost erased me. Left a church that led me to believe I was demonic. Broke a pattern of fear that had me in a headlock every single day. And when the world tried to convince me I was fragile and naïve, I politely flipped it the bird — and took off on a solo Airstream trip across the country, proving to myself just how powerful I really am.

I’ve endured multiple surgeries. I live with a permanent ileostomy bag — something I once thought would break me. Lost pregnancies. Had my heart shattered by an adoption loss. Been cheated on. Abused. I know how to shrink and contort. I’ve known the kind of pain that splits you in two.

But here’s what matters most: I no longer mold my life around my wounds. I no longer seek perfection — but rather, I learned to embrace my humanity. When the old patterns whisper back, I now have the tools and the inner anchors to meet life’s ups and downs with grace, self-trust, and power.

Yes, I’m a certified trauma-informed coach and yoga teacher. But what qualifies me most is my story — my lived truth.

This isn’t spiritual fluff. This is radical reclamation. Death. Resurrection.

If you’re craving a mentor who has been there, and who won’t flinch when you bring your full self to the table — I’m her.

You don’t need more mindset hacks, babe. You need a damn pilot — I can teach you how to soar.

  • "Working with Dana 1:1 helped me move through some of my darkest emotional seasons with more compassion and clarity.

    Her presence is grounding, and her guidance helped me remember that joy can exist even in the midst of pain. Every session left me more connected to myself and more empowered to face my life with love and strength.”

  • Dana leads heart-first and encourages others to do the same.

    She reminds you to believe in yourself, that your voice matters, that YOU matter. Beautiful transformations occur when you come home to yourself and Dana has been instrumental in helping me find my way back home, to show up authentically, to be vulnerable, and to allow others to see me...the real me, broken pieces and all. 

    -Crystal from Illinois

  • “I’m becoming the version of myself I always hoped to be.

    Dana’s 1:1 coaching awakened a creative fire in me that I didn’t know I had. Her way of seeing and reflecting life made creativity feel not just possible, but essential. I show up for myself in a completely different way now—more trusting, more open, and more capable of turning even my struggles into meaningful, inspired expression.”

  • The songwriting workshop was so expansive.

    It felt like such a safe space to reignite my creativity. I was personally so blown away by the meditations and left feeling very inspired. I highly, highly recommend Dana, she was absolutely fantastic I’ll definitely be joining another class in the future.

    - Stephanie Z., Chicago

  • I had such a good time at the songwriting workshop!

    I was nervous to be in such an intimate space but Dana was so wonderful. She guided us through a meditation first which personally helped me feel so comfortable! I loved meeting everyone and hearing the poems/songs they created. I will definitely be joining more workshops led by Dana! 

    -Jen Z., Chicago

If you’re standing on the edge of the woman you’re becoming, and you’re ready to fully step into her — I’ve got you.
