Step Inside The Story You're Creating.
Creative exploration for writers who want to discover what happens when imagination, intuition, and the subconscious enter the room.
About Leanna
I’m a self-published author, Writing and Imagination Coach, mythologist, and lifelong explorer of the places where story and self meet.
I’ve always been fascinated by what lives beneath the surface of a story.
The symbols that keep appearing. The characters who refuse to behave. The dreams that linger long after we wake. The strange intuition that tells us there’s something more to a story than what we consciously planned.
With more than twenty fantasy and romance novels under my belt, I help writers explore the worlds they are creating through guided imaginative and hypnotic experiences, dreamwork, symbolism, and intuitive exploration. The goal is to accompany you on the adventure, and discover what may be right there at your fingertips, in the world around you, the mundane and obscene and everything in between that can be transformed into published works of wonder.
And because stories aren't the only things that have thresholds, I also work one-on-one with people navigating the messy, mysterious spaces of their own lives: endings, beginnings, identity shifts, grief, reinvention, and the question of what comes next.
“Your intuition knows what to write,
so get out of the way.”
WHAT I DO
Story & Spirit | Creative Coaching
Explore the story you’re living.
Sometimes the problem isn't that you don't know how to write the scene.
You don't know what the scene is trying to become.
Maybe a character isn't cooperating. Maybe your plot has stopped making sense. Maybe you keep dreaming about your fictional world. Maybe there's a symbol, image, or feeling you can't explain—but you know it belongs in the book.
Or maybe you're not writing a book at all.
Maybe you are the story that feels a little stuck.
These 1:1 sessions give us room to explore whatever is asking for your attention. Depending on what you're working with, we might use guided imagery, hypnotic exploration, dreamwork, symbolism, intuitive inquiry, conversation, or good old-fashioned writing.
This isn't me telling you what your story means.
It's an invitation to go looking together.

Mythic Dreams | Creative Exploration
Step inside the story you’re writing.
What if you could leave the writer’s desk behind for a while and actually enter the world you’re creating?
Maybe there's a character you can't quite understand. A place you've imagined but never fully explored. A plot point that isn't working. Or a strange image, dream, or feeling that keeps showing up in your writing.
Through guided hypnosis, imaginative exploration, dreamwork, symbolism, and intuition, we'll step inside your story and see what might be waiting there.
Ask your characters for THEIR story.
Bring THEM the plot hole you’re struggling with and let them solve it for you.
Or meet the dreaded Writer’s Block face to face and find out why it’s there.

The P.I.G. Shopping the Plot In General | Writing and Imagination Coaching
Let’s shop!
Ever look at something completely ordinary and wonder, What the hell is my brain doing with this? Congratulations. You might have the makings of a story.
The world is full of characters, conflicts, delicious little details, and weird stuff just waiting to be turned into book matter. The trick is learning to notice it, collect it, and get curious about where it might lead.
In this 1:1 session, we'll go shopping for story ideas using The P.I.G. Practice, my playful, practical approach to feeding your writer's imagination. We'll explore the people, places, conversations, oddities, and everyday encounters that might become the ingredients for your next great story.
Think of me as your curious companion and enthusiastic taste tester.
1:1 Zoom Session: 55 minutes | $100
This is also offered as a 5 session package to focus on all five steps of The P.I.G. Practice.
This session comes with a free digital copy of The Pocket P.I.G. An Every Day Ingredient List and Field Guide for Writers and Creatives.
The Wild Unknown | Counseling and Coaching
For when the life you knew no longer fits and the next one hasn't taken shape yet.
There are moments when the usual advice isn't particularly helpful.
You're not looking for someone to tell you what to do.
You're trying to hear yourself clearly enough to know what comes next.
The Wild Unknown is 1:1 coaching and spiritual counseling for people navigating significant transitions: endings, beginnings, identity shifts, reinvention, uncertainty, and the strange territory in between.
Our work may involve reflection, conversation, symbolism, spirituality, intuition, guided visualization, or other contemplative practices.
