Birth your story


Individual mentorship for (aspiring) soul writers,
longing
to share their story with the world

Do you long to give birth to a story that lives within you?

 

As an experienced story midwife, I stand by your side throughout the process.

To hold space for you.
To answer your questions around writing and/or publishing.
To guide you through the waters, step by step, so your story embodies its full potential when you share it with the world, in whatever way and form feels right for you. 

Being a writer-from-the-soul, an experienced writing mentor, an editor and a published author of several stories and books, I am familiar with what it takes to share a story with the world in a soulful, authentic and professional way.
I know the questions, writing blocks and possible insecurities it can bring up. I am aware of the importance of a well thought out structure for your publication, of the decisions you have to make on the way and of how to move through the writing process with as much authenticity, joy and ease as possible.
I know the difference between writing primarily from the head, versus writing from a deeper place, connected to your essence.
Do you resonate with the latter, and are you looking for a mentor to guide you in bringing your story into the world, for private or professional purposes, in book form or otherwise?
I look forward to being your companion and sharing the fulfilling process of soul writing (and publishing) with you.

We can work together live and/or online. The mentorship journey we embark upon together is tailored to your specific needs.

Lien Van Laere

writer, story midwife, mentor

Inspired writing is the golden thread throughout my own life story. Seventeen years ago it became my profession. After receiving a masters degree in psychology, I followed my calling and focussed on writing and story work.
I wrote for various media for more than ten years, was a copywriter for numerous organizations and wrote and edited several books. I published short stories, launched a collection of therapeutic audio stories for children and published a succesful children's book (Zilverhoefje).
Since 2016, I have been passing on my passion for writing through online writing courses, individual mentoring journeys and in-person writing retreats for groups. I have assisted both individuals and organisations in bringing their stories and books to life, both through self-publishing and in collaboration with publishing houses.

I look forward to:

- guiding you in liberating your writing voice 

- initiating you in the alchemy of writing from your essence,

- helping you to start/deepen your writing practice and to take your writing to the next level,

- assisting you in the process of writing and publishing your story for personal or professional purposes, every step of the way.

Feel very welcome.
