Work with me 1:1
Feeling overwhelmed with your creative projects? Need help finishing the things you start? Not sure even where to start?
Looking for some real insight that gets to the root of your creative block?
Need a roadmap to do the creative work that you know deep down is waiting to be expressed through you—without having to adopt other people’s productivity routines?
I got you!
As a writer who has taught and coached many writing students and even writing teachers, I know that not tending to your creativity affects not just your work but your entire life: it can feel frustrating to stall on your projects and not meet your deadlines, especially when you know your ideas have so much potential. That frustration can definitely seep into how you feel about yourself and your life more generally…
So let’s get into it.
Let’s discover what is actually keeping you stuck and shed light on what would make this whole process easier and more satisfying again.
I’ll ask the questions you didn’t know you needed that help you identify the ideas and solutions that work best for you and your life situation.
And I’ll be an active listener who helps you see and stay focused on your strengths and your vision every step of the way.
Together we will
-
Chart a course that leads to creative success on your own terms
-
Find the right routines and self-talk that allows you to create consistently, however often makes sense to your needs

What past clients have said about working with me:
“Last year I was a late-stage doctoral student in literature working on my dissertation, and I found myself completely ‘writer’s blocked.’ I knew I needed to invest in myself to move forward with my project. I had honestly never used any kind of writing coaching before, so I was a bit unsure, but working with Shaili was the best thing I could have possibly done to improve how I think and feel about myself as a writer. By the end of our sessions, the benefits extended even beyond just writing; my overall well-being improved because I better understood how my self-talk was exacerbated by my stress and anxiety. I am now in a much better place with my dissertation.”
Efren Lopez
Assistant Professor of English & Comparative Literature, San Diego State University
“Shaili offered perfectly tailored, invaluable advice with the warmth, humor, and compassion of a beloved teacher or friend. She will walk you through not just unsticking your particular creative blocks but truly your entire lifestyle, viewing creativity as a vital part of your whole person with deep roots that she wants to gently and patiently dig up with you. I ended our session feeling energized in a way I hadn’t felt in months and have already seen significant changes in my thought patterns and habits, even those I didn’t even realize were related to my creativity. She offered me highly personalized strategies, and she made me feel like I can do and make anything—and that I have a clear and doable roadmap to do it.”
Rachel Nass
“Working with Shaili was so helpful and enjoyable. She is very receptive and intuitive, drawing from her personal experiences with creativity while also keeping things simple and practical. It was great to work with a coach who listens so closely to know what you're aiming for and how you like to work to hand you the best advice and tools to fit your needs. She helped me get back into writing with strategies I wouldn't have thought to try and was the perfect mentor!”
