Stuck at the Start? Lost in the Middle? Struggling to Finish?
You’re a natural health and wellness expert—a yoga teacher, herbalist, therapist, nutritionist, or integrative, alternative, or functional medicine health practitioner.
You want to share your knowledge, establish yourself as a thought leader,
and grow your brand.
But without the right guidance, direction, or plan, it’s easy to get stuck or rewrite in circles.
You may have tried workshops, conferences, critique groups—but you’re still struggling.
This wastes time, money, and energy and turns your enthusiasm into stress, confusion, and overwhelm. This may be why 97 percent of writers never finish their books. .
Imagine How You’d Feel if You Could…
🌿 Get clear about why your book matters to you
🌿 Identify what problem you’re solving for readers
🌿 Focus on your best idea and point of view
🌿 Identify your ideal reader and why they need
your book
🌿 Define your method, approach, or plan for real
reader results
🌿 Create a structure that makes writing easier
🌿 Write and revise pages with clarity and confidence

We're a Good Match If You Are: A self-help or natural health and wellness expert and have a burning desire to share what you know to help readers transform their lives. Willing to adopt what's known as “beginner’s mind,” which means you're open to the process of book coaching as it unfolds and evolves.

Ready to work to solve the problems with your book, whether it's defining your idea, your method or plan, your structure, your book proposal, your pitch or your manuscript.

Is it a Good Idea to Write a Book? Yes! Writing a nonfiction book is a smart move whether you're a yoga teacher, an herbalist, psychologist, doctor or any type of health and wellness expert. You can share what you know with a wider audience, establish yourself as a thought leader, make an impact and grow your brand. You Can Use Your Book: •To help readers transform their lives in a positive way. •To educate your clients or patients about your method, plan or program. Instead of giving each one handwritten instructions, you can give them a complete approach from A to Z. •To land interview requests about your subject matter whether it’s for print, radio, the internet, podcasts or TV. This further establishes you as an expert and builds your presence as a thought leader. •To supersize your content. You can use and repurpose book content for speeches, blog posts, articles, newsletters, in person and on-line courses. • To help you land speaking gigs. Defining who you are, what you do and what you believe in through your book makes it easier for people to find and book you. •To give in-person workshops in your hometown, at universities, associations, green companies, organizations. Bonus you can sell your book to participants too. •To book consulting gigs with people or organizations who want to know what you know and learn what you have to teach them. Maybe you can teach Buddhist stress reduction techniques or mindfulness meditation to accountants or lawyers or business people. •And of course, The Big Kahuna: To get booked for a Ted Talk and boost your visibility, way, way up!

1:1 Monthly Book Coaching & Editing Packages
Part 1: The Roadmap: Blueprint for a Book
We'll use Blueprint for a Book, created by Jennie Nash, the author of Blueprint for a Nonfiction Book, an in-depth comprehensive approach to help you plan the book you want to write and establish a solid foundation. This is for you if you’re just getting started or are stuck and need to reimagine and rewrite your book. Clarify your idea, audience, and message. Know why your book matters and how it fits in the marketplace. Putting a roadmap into place saves you time and energy. In Part ONE you will:
-
Define your idea, method, or plan so it’s clear, concise and takes readers on a transformational journey.
-
Define your ideal reader, identify your audience and more.
-
Create a structure, a Table of Contents and a narrative design that serves your mission and the reader’s needs.
-
Get expert editorial guidance, feedback, and support so that your foundation is solid, and you can move from Blueprint to book proposal (or manuscript if you're self-publishing) with confidence.
-
Average duration: 1-2 months.
Part Two: The Proposal
Once you’ve defined your idea, your ideal reader, audience, structure and more, you’ll write a compelling proposal with overview, bio, audience, marketing plan, comp titles, TOC, and sample chapters. You'll be ready to pitch to agents or publishers or self-publish. In Part TWO, you’ll:
-
Create a book proposal that attracts the attention of agents and book publishers who will invest in you and your book project.
-
Get guidance, feedback, and direction on the 8 must-have elements of a winning book proposal (including a sample chapter) and how to make your content shine.
-
Examples of book proposals that sold to publishers.

Regular deadlines so that you can manage your time along with accountability and support. Average duration: 2-3 months.
If you plan to self-publish you can skip this step and go to straight to Part Three although a book proposal can help you clarify your goals and content and enable you to write faster and more easily.
DISCLAIMER: I can’t guarantee that your book proposal will result in an offer of representation, a publishing contract, or sales but it will represent your idea, method or plan and your expertise in the best way possible. What I will do is support you in writing your best book.
Part 3: The Pitch
Once you have finished writing your book proposal, it’s time to craft a query letter, research agents, and create an effective pitch strategy for traditional publishing. In Part THREE, you’ll learn how to:
-
Research agents and publishers.
-
Write a query letter that sells.
-
Create a list of agents to pitch who have a track record of selling books like yours to traditional publishers.
-
Create a pitch strategy for which agents to pitch in what order, how to find the best match for you and your book, and how to respond to offers of representation, comments, and rejections. Average duration: 1-2 months.
Part 4: The Manuscript
Whether you have a contract to write your book or are self-publishing Part FOUR is a combination of developmental editing and book coaching, a thorough and complete process that will help you revise your manuscript so that it’s ready for publication. Part FOUR ensures that the:
-
Content is clear, engaging, and actionable and aligns with your message and goals.
