The Writer In Me
Sees the Writer In You
For years, I signed my email newsletters with “the writer in me sees the writer in you.”
Though a lot has changed in the nature of my work and my expressions of creativity, that sentiment has remained the same. We are mirrors for one another. We’re here to learn and grow together.
And yet, there’s so much more to you (and me) than “just” being a writer.
We are multi-passionate creatives who seek to align life and livelihood, art and impact.
We love language and story for their own sake. But, we also believe in the power of words to create connection, transform ideas, and renew the world. (Real, lasting, expansive change begins with reaching one person, one client, one reader at a time, right?)
I work with folks I consider to be “transformation professionals” — wellness practitioners, coaches, psychotherapists in private practice, and creative entrepreneurs dedicated to individual and collective growth.
What we have in common is a grounded dedication to bringing healing and wholeness to the people we serve and the communities in which we live. We are inspired to be part of the change we wish to see - socially, culturally, and environmentally.
Have we met yet?
I'm Marisa Goudy, and I am here to help you work through the tangles of narrative, dissolve your creative blocks, reach your professional goals, and weave your own truest story.
Together, we’ll combine the passion the practicality to get words on the page and bring your work to the world.
More than a decade ago, I left my career in academia and started my own business. A sudden loss taught me that I could not spend my life doing work I did not love. Plus, I had a newborn daughter to raise and I wanted the freedom and flexibility to support my family and expand my creativity in my own way.
I decided to combine my dedication for holistic health with my writing and marketing skills to support wellness professionals develop their ideas and build their world-renewing businesses.
Since 2010, I have collaborated with psychotherapists, acupuncturists, spiritual teachers, energy healers, and creative entrepreneurs of all kinds.
I’ve helped folks develop marketing and website copy — and walked beside them as the writing process opened them to transform the way they approached business and life.
I’ve supported clients through the creation of courses and presentations — and held safe space to discover their voices as teachers and thought leaders.
I’ve been part of the earliest conversations that begin “I think I have a book to write” and held a client’s advanced reader copy, fresh from the publisher, in my own joyful hands.
More About My Background
In addition to being a writing coach for authors and entrepreneurs, I’m story healer and a myth worker.
My best selling book, The Sovereignty Knot: A Woman’s Way to Freedom, Power, Love, and Magic was released in 2020.
These days, my creative energies are devoted to the KnotWork Storytelling Podcast where we explore Celtic mythology, Irish folklore, and heroines’ tales from around the world.
I believe that myth is medicine for modern life. I believe that rooting into ancestral stories, spirituality, and culture can help us create a world that honors both human diversity and biodiverity.
I hold a BA in English from Boston College and an MA in Anglo-Irish Literature and Drama from University College Dublin. A longtime student of the Sacred Mystery School, I am the co-author of two books with my teacher Eleanora Amendolara, including Divine Embodiment: The Art & Practice of Chumpi Illumination.
My husband, children, and deeply wonderful (and wicked irritating) cats Big Love MacLir and Little Dude McCool, live on the lands of the Esopus people of the Lenape tribe in what is now New York’s Hudson Valley.
