about me:

Hello, I’m Leigh.

I’m a writer and creativity coach, and I work with coaches, artists, and entrepreneurs to move them through fear and resistance, develop their courage and clarity, and claim their creative authority.

I’ll help you take all the innovative thoughts in your head and put them down on paper. Whether you need a writing coach or a ghostwriter, I'll help you find your voice and share your message, easily and effectively. Book proposals, workbooks and training materials, even a full-length book with your name on the cover - we can work through it all. My process is collaborative, authentic, and seriously stress-free.

I’m a certified Master Jungian Life Coach and have completed advanced training with Eric Maisel, the founder of creativity coaching. I have an MA in English from the University of Kentucky and have been involved in communication, teaching, and the arts for more than two decades.

I believe in clarity, curiosity, wholeheartedness, and imagination, and hope to use the power of your own unconscious mind to unlock and enhance your inherent creative expression.

some kind words:

I just wanted to thank you for the magnificent workshop that you gave. I love that we got a lot of tools to work on a more personal level, and then ways to use that newly acquired knowledge with our art. I love the workshops that stay in my heart and mind for a long time and this was definitely one of them! Thank you so much!

Leigh has helped to guide me through the process of creating a book proposal for an emotional art series. I’ve had this specific project on the backburner for years due to a creative block as to how to move forward. Leigh’s welcoming and down-to-earth nature quickly puts me at ease at each meeting, while her warmth comforts me as we dig through some strong stuff.  Leigh is supremely organized; providing expectations and goals that are transparent and achievable. With her professional knowledge, kindness, and enthusiasm, Leigh has managed to unlock all sorts of creativity … ultimately allowing me to organize my work into a complete and cohesive project.

Not only is Leigh an elegant, incisive writer, she uses those talents to elevate others' written work as well. As a copy editor for our magazine, Leigh ensured our articles were factual, clear, and well-written, often under demanding deadlines. Our publication is much better for her assistance and she is always a delight to work with.

I sought out Leigh because I wanted to communicate my inspirations and thoughts about painting. My writing was tangled in formalities, lacking clarity, and just didn’t say what I desired. Leigh’s approach to find what is strong in the writing and work from there has helped me produce writing that delves clearly and creatively into what I really want to say. 
—Norma Jean, visual artist

As a visual artist, writing is an important part of my practice. Recently, I found myself stuck while writing about a new body of work. One meeting with Leigh, where I rambled and stammered through my new ideas, helped tremendously. She thoughtfully listened, took notes, asked questions, and gathered my thoughts into a cohesive outline and statement. Leigh made the process so comfortable!
— Jennifer, artist

I've always been so excited about this business, so it was hard for me to see it from the perspective of a new client. After seeing your copy work, I realize my shortcomings in communicating my message! Thank you so much – you have made it much more interesting and coherent, and you added so much style to my writing.
— Riley, entrepreneur

Leigh's wonderful personality, professionalism, and relaxed approach made my experience really enjoyable and stress free. She was so easy to talk to, and really took the time to understand my mission as an artist.
