Forged Alchemy of Me
Updated: Nov 24, 2022
Hello! Welcome to my Blog-World, where you’ll find inspired growth to connect with your best self.
Formerly known as Creative Processes, The Dot Maven is the evolution of myself and my business. I help you find your inner self and strengths, connecting with the light inside you and finding the steps to your unique and authentic path and purpose. My passion and mission are helping you find your way home.
I help you find your way home.

I love etymology:
Forge – shape and work by heating and hammering
Alchemy – transformation of matter – metals to gold
Finding my path wasn’t exactly straightforward. It was forged, and sometimes it felt quite literally beaten and pruned through years of life experiences. Through them all, I’ve learned how to transform into myself, and my mission is helping you do the same – hopefully with a little less time and struggle.
A Life coach for your Life Purpose
You may be curious as to exactly how I do this. I offer one-on-one concierge coaching sessions and downloadable/printable resources. I have developed a 5-step framework (ARMIA) that has been tested and proven over the years to maximize results with clients. I can’t do the work for you, but I support you 100% through the process.
It's all about the connections.
So why me? Lots of people help others online. That is a great thing! Honestly, the more helpers, the merrier. I could point to my credentials, my education, my years of experience, background (I’ll share those at the end in case you want to know about them). While these things add to my credibility, research shows that what makes the most difference in your results is the relationship you have with the person working with you. So when asked why me, choose me if I seem like someone with whom you would want to work. Give it a try. If it is not a good fit, let me know, and I will gladly help connect you with a better fit. It is all about the connections. I do not just help you connect the dots to make sense of your lived experiences, but to connect with resources that will be most beneficial to you.
Are you ready to find your best self?

Here at The Dot Maven, you’ll find:
Concierge personalized coaching so that my clients can experience everything I have to offer

How does a blog fit into the process? That’s the fun part! The blog is all about everything I do and the various facets of my work with people. You can find out if I’m a person you’d like to work with by getting to know me in the blog. You can also find ways to use the resources I have or learn tips and tricks as well by reading it; check in from time to time. Don’t forget to subscribe to my newsletter - it's coming soon! - so you don’t miss a thing (and get exclusive discounts)!
