What I know

If you don’t tell your story, someone else will—inaccurately, briefly, not at all or worst of all, lies.

Most lives end up reduced to a few lines, a handful of memories, half-remembered versions of who someone was.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

I’ve been writing since I could hold a pencil, it’s my natural state of being now.

I accompany you in a way that supports you to say what you want to with clarity and truth of emotion.

I don’t rush it, I don’t force it, I sit with you and guide you until the words come and when they do, they’re yours, not mine.

I grew up, not being heard, in Ireland, when I did speak I was dismissed for ‘telling stories’ I raised my family in Aotearoa New Zealand. I now travel to deliver and write words all over the world. That sense of story, of memory, of what’s carried and what’s left behind, shapes everything I do.

I’ll meet you wherever you are, in the grey, in the ‘I don’t know to begin‘ and sit with you, to guide you on how to translate your life into an eternal form.

For you, and for those who come after us, give the gift of truth.
