My Services
Legacy Letters
WHAT: Meaningful letters to loved ones.
WHY: We often don’t carve out the time, or are caught unprepared, or feel too overwhelmed to truly express our hopes, dreams, and regrets to those we love.
THEMES: Gratitude. Life Lessons. Advice. Memories. Blessings. Apologies. Explanations.
FINAL PRODUCT: A collection of elegantly printed letters, along with a digital copy of the storyteller reading the letter.
TIMING: Four 60-minute conversations over four weeks.
Family History
WHAT: Your family history, all in one place.
WHY: Most people have pieces of their family history scattered across folders, boxes, and computer files. Through guided conversations, I’ll help you create a succinct family history all in one place that can be easily shared.
WHAT PEOPLE WRITE ABOUT: Memories and stories that have been passed down in bits and pieces, but never put together. You tell the story, starting from a point in the past to the present day, to finally document your family’s history.
FINAL PRODUCT: A beautiful chapbook + a digital copy of our interviews.
TIMING: Four 60-minute conversations over four weeks + time for editing and review.
Story Collections
WHAT: Personal stories about defining experiences.
WHY: To reflect, remember, document, and preserve key moments. Telling stories invites self-reflection, connection, and a greater understanding of meaningful experiences that have shaped a life.
EXAMPLES: “My Record Player and Me.” “A Teenager Grows in Brooklyn.” “How I Went From Housewife to Hippie.”
FINAL PRODUCT: An elegantly printed collection of 3-5 personal narratives + digital files of our conversations.
TIMING: 60-minute sessions each week, number of weeks varies.
Backstory Workshops
What: In-person groups that provide the time, space, and guidance to reflect on and document the stories that have shaped your life.
Why: Connection, reflection, expression.
How: Prompts and activities that spark memory and discovery.
Themes. My biggest regret. The decision that changed my life. The story of my teapot. The best advice I have received.
