My mission is to serve writers, dreamers, and badass humans who are committed to healing and transformation.

Hey, I’m Rachel!

I’m a writer, editor, memoir artist, poet, and champion for independent authors. I’m a graduate of Northwestern University, a certified yoga teacher, an energy healer, and an ultramarathon runner turned daily walker, too.

I empower individuals to release resistance, harness perfectionism, and build unstoppable momentum in their wellness and creative pursuits.

I love helping first-time authors share inspiring stories and launch bestselling books. I also love creating unforgettable, on-brand copy for wellness brands and strategic marketing campaigns for small businesses.

I believe in creating impactful marketing with integrity. I support writers in learning how to put themselves out there online, without feeling overwhelmed or guilty about it.

I grew up in northern California and now live in Salt Lake City, Utah.

In addition to my writing endeavors, I also teach and practice yoga. I’m the founder of Alive in the Fire.

I incorporate a variety of holistic practices into my routine, including yoga, contrast therapy, strength training, energy work, meditation, hiking, and walking.

Storytelling with strength and sensitivity

I'm here to help you bridge the gap between your heart and your words.

To embrace the healing process that is innate with any writing project. Discovering the power of your voice is an emotional journey— and one you shouldn’t have to face alone.

I can help you discover how self-care and creativity go hand-in-hand.

I’m here to help you write boldly and heal deeply.

Surface-level, boring @$$ writing doesn’t interest me. In order to stand out, the world needs to see the real you, the emotional and human you, and I can help you find the words to do just that.

I'm all about diving deep, finding the soul in your story, and unleashing your authentic voice. Let's ditch the mundane and craft something extraordinary together.

Fun Facts About My Journey As a Writer:

In third grade, I won the Placer County Spelling Bee. 😆🏆🐝

Senior year of high school, I was voted “most likely to publish a book” by my peers.

I started college as a journalism major, but ended up switching to a degree in English when I got into the creative writing program (with a focus in poetry).

Ages 10-32: I dreamt of writing books, but had no idea where to start.

Ages 32-36: I've published 8 books in 4 years.

Over the last decade, I’ve helped over 100 authors on their non-fiction, poetry, and memoir manuscripts. I believe the book writing, editing, and publishing process is about more than just authoring a book— it’s about authoring a new version of you.

I also specialize in supporting small business owners and wellness brands with their website, email, and social copy through strategic campaigns.

I’m obsessed with the intersection of wellness and creativity, and helping you feel confident in your unique voice.

What makes me unique?

Versatility & Well-Roundedness

I’ve worked with authors from all backgrounds and experience levels. I’m equally as comfortable with a 400-page manuscript as I am with 250 characters of ad copy. Long form or short form, and however fast you want to work, I’m all ears.

Unwavering Support

I care— a lot. I’m here to champion your success and help you cross the finish line with your project. I will help you discover your voice and unleash your full potential. Your story deserves to be told with courage and boldness.

Open-minded and Open-hearted

People tell me all the time that they’re amazed at how open to feedback I am. Writing and editing are my soul’s purpose, my higher calling in this lifetime. I trust the process and don’t cling tightly to first drafts.

I’m a champion for independent authors and small business owners in the wellness space.

I’m a writing coach who sees you as a whole person, not just an author.

Clients gravitate towards me because they are ready to feel supported and seen in the emotional journey of putting a book out into the world. I bring something most editors and publishing pros don't: a rare combination of technical mastery, intuitive guidance, and energetic support that transforms both your book AND your life.

I understand how scary it is to put your work out there because I've done it, too.

Here's a little bit of my story: I went from being a perfectionist 3rd-grade spelling bee champion to a Northwestern creative writing graduate working in corporate advertising, thinking I had it all figured out. For years, I worked desk jobs that drained me and I set my creative projects on the back burner.

Life happened. Spiritual awakening. Breakdowns and breakthroughs. Shadow work. Recovery. Reclaiming my voice after years of playing it safe.

My journey to writing and publishing books has taught me that the creative process isn’t just about getting the words out. It's about becoming who you're meant to be. Becoming the strongest version of you there is.

Now, after 15+ years and working with 150+ authors, I've built Confident Authors around this truth. I help my clients transform while they write the story that sets them free. To turn trauma into wisdom. To find their inner courage. To stop hiding behind perfectionism and start sharing their authentic voice.

I can ghostwrite your 100k memoir, craft your 40-character ad copy, or guide you through energy blocks that keep you stuck. I understand feedback, resistance, and team dynamics because I've been there. But what sets me apart is this: I see who you are as a person and genuinely want you to grow through this process. I’m here to help you see that everything you have going on in your life (including the challenges) are part of the book writing process. They’re not separate. And now is the time to integrate all of the versions of you who led you to write your book.

My clients have said that while working with me, they feel more focused, in flow, and safe to write the things they’ve never shared before. They feel courageous and ready to be vulnerable instead of scared to start. They find momentum and feel more connected to their intuition.

Are you ready to write your book in a way that feels nourishing to you? Ready to stop hiding in the shadows and tap into the power of your voice? Let's connect.
