Hi, I’m Sharla.

Author. Writer. Poet. Ritual-keeper.

I believe writing is a way home to yourself. After years of self-abandonment and disconnection, I returned to writing not just to create, but to heal, to reflect, and to rebuild. I am a published author of a memoir and a book of poetry. Now, I guide emerging writers in doing the same by helping them create calm, structured spaces where their stories can unfold with confidence and care.

You don’t need to be published to be a writer.

You just need to begin.

I believe writing doesn’t have to be perfect, productive, or published to be powerful. It just needs to be honest.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, starting fresh, or searching for your voice, I offer gentle structure, creative prompts, and soulful support to help you build a writing practice grounded in calm, not pressure.

This is a soft place to land. Let’s begin.
