Meet Giselle

I work with you to retrieve the words waiting inside you. Your meaningful, lived-in, a bit undone, human words. So you can articulate who you are, what you’re creating, and what it means to be alive right now, in a way that’s undeniably yours.

Writer . Author . Speaker . Facilitator

As a child, my hands intimately knew the contours of a pen, almost as if it were an eleventh finger. There are things in life that you just belong to, even when the world tries to convince you otherwise. So, I wrote.

Bookshelf with multiple wooden shelves filled with various hardcover books, titles include 'The Children Act,' 'American Studies,' 'Train Whistle Guitar,' and 'Masters of the 19th and 20th Centuries.'
A variety of fresh fruits displayed in wooden crates, including oranges, lemons, kiwis, bananas, and dragon fruit at a market.

I wrote anything and everything. On any piece of crumbled to glittered paper. I read even more than I wrote, swallowing words whole, letting fantasy and fiction reside in my membranes.

What began as mini-novels written on stapled A4 paper, being given the delightfully esteemed title of “Journalist of the Day” on a primary-school trip to Westferry Printworks, and winning poetry competitions, moved into an actual writing career.

I studied Fashion Journalism and Visual Culture. Then I wrote, archived, researched, produced, and managed my way around London and NYC for the next 10 years.

I worked with the most recognisable brands in beauty and fashion and wrote for leading magazine titles. Then my Saturn return came around and I yearned for something else.

Words have always captivated me, but there was a question moving inside me since I was too young to even understand it: What does it mean to be human?

In 2018, that’s what I wanted to explore. I left my career behind and retrained as a trauma sensitive mindfulness and meditation teacher, wellbeing guide, educator and workshop facilitator.

I worked with nearly a thousand people from London to Bahrain, Melbourne to Toronto and Mumbai to Krugersdorp. Wrote a book called Take It In (Rider, Penguin Random House, 2022), was named "the woman redefining spirituality for the millennial crowd" by Vogue, featured in BBC, ELLE, Channel 4, Grazia and more, hosted workshops and gave talks for brands like American Express, Amazon, Soho House and Papier.

8 years later, you find me here…

Bringing it all together. Words articulating what it means to be human.

My purpose wasn’t to just be an author. My purpose is to be alive and as part of that living, I choose to write. I spend each day writing for as long as my hands can type and grasp onto weighty pens.

I live my life in service of savouring everything around me just to experience the pleasure of it and then I let it find a resting place in the written word.

That’s why I created this space. For the beauty of words, the importance of you retrieving yours, and to acknowledge that there’s also beauty in the human experiences that remain wordless.

Let's work together
