“I was at a sticking point in the first draft of my novel and couldn’t see a way forward. Helena was able to put her finger on the source of the problem, and once I could see my way around it, the path to the end opened right up!” —Rachel S. Donahue

“A coaching session with Helena is like a therapy session in the best of ways. Her wisdom and encouragement were exactly what I needed at the beginning of realizing I wanted to start writing. I was furiously scribbling notes the whole time so I wouldn’t forget anything she said and I’m so glad I did.” —Jessie Rae Sommers

“Helena possesses a unique gift for asking the most insightful questions to unearth the essence of a story. These questions, I've found, have become the guiding stars of my writing process. Whenever I've hit a roadblock, I return to Helena's questions, and without fail, they breathe new life into my novel. If you're looking for a coach who will challenge you, inspire you, and lead you to discover the very heart of your narrative, look no further than Helena. I am immensely grateful for her guidance and couldn't recommend her more highly." —Angela Dicken

“Helena is a wise, nurturing writing coach. I entered our coaching session with a general sense of frustration and stuck-ness. She listened empathetically, and asked questions that provoked and challenged me then, and continue to be touchstones as I journey as a writer. I am a better writer for having worked with Helena.” —Amy Malskeit

“Helena knows which questions to ask and is sensitive to intuit which threads to gently pull on. She has that wonderful ability of making it seem as if I discovered my own answers! I love that she reaches beyond merely the mechanics of writing and into the deeper "why" of it; taking the time to clarify my vision has led me to more cohesion, confidence and efficiency. I'm looking forward to a follow up session!” —Wendy Kieffer
