• Two-Hour Consultation A deeper dive into your practice, writing, or project development. Together, we’ll unpack your ideas, review your practice or writing, and produce an action plan.
• Complimentary 15-Minute Chat If you’re unsure about booking a full consultation or would like to discuss your needs before committing, feel free to book a free 15-minute introductory chat. This is a great opportunity to explore how I can support your goals.
