Smart, compassionate + insightful support to make you a better writer, and a happier one too.
Writing is scary and hard for the best of us. When working with a writing coach, you want to know your most inner thoughts and feelings will be cared for, no risk of the painful red pen marks of your school years.
I’ve worked with hundreds of writers over the last decade and what I’ve learned is that compassionate writing instruction and editing can transform the writing experience.
Whether you’re writing to build your business or to express your creative side, these personalized sessions are designed specifically for you.
Business Owners >>> Renew your writing skills—make the shift from old corporate speak to meaningful connections with your people
Aspiring Authors >>> Clear + actionable guidance on outlining, style and voice for your book or personal essay
Personal Growth Seekers >>> Deepen your writing as a form of self-expression, creativity, and empowerment
In our 80 minutes together, we will go through 1500 words of your writing and I will provide you with on-the-spot feedback specific to your strengths and weaknesses.
It’s about being the writer YOU are meant to be, not the writer your English teacher tried to make you into.
Parrish stood by me as I opened up my vulnerable space and listened to me when I had doubts. She re-assured me when I was confused and gave me space and time to unfold the truth in my work. I now understand what it means to write from my heart, thanks to her guidance. Parrish is truly one of a kind!
Working with Parrish, I felt like my ideas, my manuscript and the heartfelt desires I had for my readers were all held so tenderly in her caring and capable hands. My book would not have such depth, clarity and heart if it weren’t for her.
With a focus on your strengths, but a willingness to be direct about your weaknesses, I can make you a better writer in a single session.

My writing coaching combines my Master’s in Counselling & Spirituality with a Graduate Certificate in Creative Writing for a compassionate and insightful approach. I’ve been coaching writers since 2013 and it’s the most rewarding (paid) work I’ve ever done!
I have hang-ups with my writing since working in a newsroom and beaten over the head by the Grammar Police and the AP Style Book. Parrish has a wonderful technique to get you out of your head and words on the page.
