Writing Coaching & Message Development
for Therapists, Coaches, and Creative Entrepreneurs
You’re a transformation professional on a quest to own your story, but sometimes ownership has its headaches.
Blog posts. Website copy. Guest articles. Your online course. The personal stories you want to use to connect to your audience during your next talk or presentation. The book you know you’re meant to put out there.
On top of all of your other commitments to your practice, your business, and your life, these writing projects may seem too demanding.
With your own writing coach, you won’t have to develop, organize, and write all alone.
You’ll have a collaborator who will help you translate your vision into words.
When you invite me to support your writing practice, you’ll have a sounding board, a fresh set of eyes, an experienced copywriter, a seasoned player in the digital marketing arena, a compassionate editor, and a passionate storyteller who is fiercely dedicated to helping you put your vision on the page and build your world-renewing business.
The words you use and the stories you tell – they matter
You want to capture the attention of the skimming online reader, but you don’t want to produce gimmicky, plastic prose. You want to sound like you, not like a marketer. You want your words to do their job and further your business without sacrificing what’s really important – your voice.
Call on me when you want to write content that matters, when you know that your work and your audience deserve more than “just another blog post” or “a quick services page.”
Call on me because you want to weave words that are meaningful to you, your readers, and your business.
Call on me because it's time to work on the bigger project - the book, the course, the big in-process ideas that don't quite have a form yet.
What You Can Expect From Your Writing Coach & Message Development Consultant
Writing coaching is a co-creative process.
We’ll work closely together, but the web copy, posts, articles, and course content will always feel like yours. Your finished work will emerge from your own first drafts, results of our consulting sessions, your own process of rewriting and refining, and the edits I do for you.
Consider me your partner in every step of the writing journey.
Together we will:
make sure you’re clear on the work you’re meant to do, the people you’re meant to serve, and the message you’re meant to bring to the world
determine the needs and interests of your readers
brainstorm and organize your ideas
create an editorial calendar that you can actually sustain
continue to journey together as your vision, audience, and business evolve
And I will:
help you decide which personal stories to tell so that you make a connection without worrying about oversharing
empower you to become a stronger writer, specifically when it comes to writing for an online audience
edit your work and make informed, detailed suggestions about your content
“When you work with Marisa she dives deep into who you are, who your clients are and how to reach those clients from a heart centered place. Her gift is bringing creativity, spirituality and a little magic —if you’re willing—to each session. She’s helped me create copy that feels genuine and true to me, and speaks directly to my clients. I highly recommend Marisa as a writing coach!”

Writing Coaching with Marisa is for you if…
You feel like you can write. You enjoy writing.
Most of the time.
Whether it’s an encroaching deadline, the struggle with establishing a consistent writing routine, or a sense of overwhelm and feeling like you don’t know where to begin, you’re stuck.
You’re seeking a partner and adviser who will help you find joy and satisfaction in the writing practice.
This style of writing coaching isn’t fit it…
You feel like you need remedial help with the basics of writing.
You can’t imagine looking forward to writing and seeing it as an important use of your time.
You’re looking to create weekly list posts or other “by the book” writing. My style of coaching elicits powerful personal stories, not marketing fodder.
How does Writing Coaching with Marisa work?
We begin with a free initial consultation call. You’ll tell me about your project and I’ll tell you more about my approach. Often, the sparks start flying in those first thirty minutes and you’ll find you’ve got new ideas and a new sense of creative direction immediately.
If we decide we’re ready to begin the writing journey together, we’ll enter into a six-month agreement.
Over those six months, we’ll meet regularly on Zoom and collaborate on documents where you’ll receive suggestions, on-the-page coaching, and substantive edits. Between our calls, you’ll send me your writing for review.
Many clients choose to renew at the end of their six months because creating content is a long game.
