Hi, I’m Arden — a life coach, Reiki master, and author.

Also: recovering perfectionist and people-pleaser, hyper-focused (yet distractible) ADHDer, occasionally majestic bipolar rollercoaster rider, late-diagnosed autistic, a former fundamentalist who deconstructed my way into freedom. And, a trans man in the early stages of transitioning.

My work lives at the intersection of healing and authenticity. Whether I’m writing a novel, coaching a client, or holding space for energetic recalibration, everything I do is rooted in one core belief:

You are whole and you’re learning to live like it.

The Coaching

I coach from the heart. I’ve walked through childhood trauma, religious deconstruction, late-in-life diagnoses, gender transition, career transition, and my own deep seeded anxiety. I know what it’s like to feel untethered and unsure, and what it takes to rebuild piece by piece. Together, we’ll create something honest, pressure-free, and deeply aligned with who you already are.

I am here to help you break down where you’re at, and where you want to be. I show you how to create digestable steps towards your goal, and ask you questions to help center you and drive you forward. I don’t give you all the answers, and I’m not a therapist. I don’t tell you what to do, I help guide you into seeing exactly what you need to do for your specific scenario.

The Reiki

When I first tried Reiki, I just wanted to feel okay again. What I found was a calm that made sense to me. My approach is intuitive but grounded. Simple, real, and aimed at helping you leave clearer than you came in.

The Books

I write stories about people in the midst transformation. Raw, real, and a little bit magic. They’re fiction, but the kind that leaves a mark.

Whether you’re here to heal, rebuild, or just follow along, welcome.
