Probably the coolest thing I’ve ever done is write my own book.

Me (she/her) and my first baby!

Salt and Sour: My Recipe For Starting Over

(on Amazon) (or Kindle)

Part cookbook, part memoir—this book combines my two greatest loves: food and words. It’s not for everyone, so you decide for yourself. If you need a little nudge, here’s my favourite review ever. Oh, and here’s a really awkward video of me on my local news channel promoting my book!

Self-published, #1 on Amazon for 18 weeks, 5000+ copies sold

Fun Fact: Before I became a writer, I was a chef! In 2022, I retired my knives so I could write full-time, but I still flex my chef muscles by writing for various food blogs, creating courses, and for other chef-related content creators.

Since I started pursuing a career in writing, I’ve been working mostly as an independent freelancer. I love to create copy for all types of businesses, including:

Karri Wilson: Intuitive Eating Coach

Creating Me: Life Coaching

Art of Seduction: Boudoir Photography

LTTC: Trauma Therapy

CZYK Publishing: I worked on an article that got turned into a book! Greater Than A Tourist

My real passion is helping other writers birth their books. That’s why in 2021, I launched Doula of Words and Something Sacred.

At Doula Of Words, I help writers write, finish, edit and publish their books through virtual, individual, and group coaching. I specialize in memoirs and full-length poetry collections but have also worked with authors on children’s books and novels. This project was birthed after I self-published my own book in 2020 and has since grown into a robust community.

I also host weekly writing workshops which aim to help writers of all skill levels sink into a super soft and welcoming space. These small, intimate, generative workshops introduce participants to new poetry, scheduled writing time, and the opportunity to share without pressure or feedback.
