Testimonials

I can tell you a thousand different ways about the value of my services, but what really matters is what my clients say about their OutWrite Living experience.  Read on…. 

“I had been thinking of creating my business website for years, yet could not find the words to reflect what I bring to my practice as a coach. From our first call, I knew I had found in Starla the perfect person to articulate my website content.  

Starla met me where I was in the process and created content that aligned perfectly with the vision and intention of my work. How? Starla’s essential creative nature influences everything she touches – every conversation, comment and comma. She holds precious the ripple impact of each word. Her capacity to hold the full scope of a content project while lovingly paying attention to every nuance is stellar, and she does this all with respect, a sense of flow and  fun. I highly encourage anyone wanting a creative alliance that will result in content that that gets to the heart of any matter to contact Starla.” 
~ Nancy J. Duncan, Professional Life & Business Coach / Fitness Consultant

“Starla is much more than a creativity/writing coach. Working with her will influence way more than just the ability to write. Starla has helped me to shift my perception of what writing and being creative actually is. Creativity sounds like such a big deal, something that comes to artists only (People like Shakespeare or Pablo Picasso – talk about high standards) and not to average people.

My creativity/writing is like an old little fire pit, the fire was long gone and only a small sad glow was left. Starla found a way to rekindle that fire. The wood and scrubs were right there next to the fire, but I didn’t know how to get the fire going, I didn’t even see the wood or that there is a place for the fire. Starla helped me to find the food for my fire and got the flame going. Now I am assured that there is creativity (the little flame) and wood (inspiration) there.

Thank You Starla for lighting the fire!” 
~ Daggi Bayer, Life Coach, Equus Coach, The Dream Detective 

“I have worked with these smart, sensitive women [Nancy & Starla] in coaching and book design. Combining them as a team [for Creative Life Coaching]? Wow, your project will emerge as if shot from a cannon! This is truly a bargain. I guarantee that you will flourish in their good care. The satisfaction and excitement of creative work going well is hard to beat.”
~ Ros Nelson, Little Big Bay (book publishing)

“Having a presence on the web was such a daunting thought…how will I be perceived, will it make any sense, what do I know about marketing myself?  After spending a couple of hours talking with Starla, she just got it!  She did an amazing job of capturing the essence of what was in my head and elegantly putting it into words.  Even though she wrote it, I can hear myself talking as I read it.  And, just starting out in my business and wanting everything to be perfect, she provided the exact level of help, patience and support that I needed to walk away from this experience with a huge smile on my face :-) .”
~ Sharon Misnuner, The Practical Parenting Coach

“Working with Starla and Nancy in conjunction [Creative Life Coaching] was the perfect juxtaposition of two very different but two very complementary coaching styles. In my sessions with Nancy, I generally feel led to discuss career and relationship challenges and aspirations, so when given the chance to add Starla’s creativity coaching to the mix, I jumped on it.

Having the two working separately and yet in conjunction was an exquisite balance that both grounded me and helped me to fly. If I could paint it, Nancy would be the outlines, creating the narrative for the composition, and Starla fills in the color. Both on their own do exceptional work, but when the two combine, it takes life coaching to a new level. I am so grateful that I have had the chance to work with these two incredibly motivating women, and I can’t wait to see where continued work with these soul guides takes me!”
~Rachael Harnish, Blogger | Visual Artist | Marketing Specialist at Rosetta Stone

“You helped me so, so much with my application to the Ucross Foundation. I was accepted for a 6-week artist residency! Thank you for your insightful comments on my essay and on my non-traditional resume.”
~ Kate Schutt, Singer/Songwriter, Guitarist

“I was just SO excited and inspired after we spoke! I practically wrote my whole first blog post in my head, but then that inspiration started to deflate. (Notice I just said ‘started.’ There’s still excitement there, but life started to leak in.) I can see that it will benefit me to keep up coaching with you. It’s time to do something real for myself! Having a writer help me get started writing just makes sense.”
~ Dana Kiehl, Blogger | Full(+!)-Time Mom

“Starla is one of the most talented and creative people I have ever met. She expands your thought process and comes from a totally different and creative perspective. She is so encouraging and challenges you in a really helpful way. I consider her an integral part of my ‘team’. I would not have had my business up and running without her!
 
We have been working on various projects for almost a year and I have been so amazed at the incredible results.  She brings such energy, love, and fun into all of her work. She is a joy to work with!”

“Though blushing fiercely at your blog, I LOVE your site! Love your photo, love the look…we must be in the same posse.  Yay!
~Martha Beck, Life Coach, Author, Speaker  (and my hero-ine)

~ Tina Burkholder, Director of Permanency Services at Bethanna (a child welfare agency)

“I have tears just reading this!! And it’s my page. I want to work with me! ! :-) You have done such an absolutely fabulous job.  I look forward to working with you some more as I craft my writing style & skills. I love working with you … what a true pleasure.”
~Anne Marie Rowe, Career Design Strategist and Resource Connector, Rowe Together

Oh, Starla, thank you!!  I’m delighted that I asked you to do this work for me.  You’ve helped me clarify and amplify my own message and get clear on how it relates to the book.

Starla, Without you I would still be sitting with a website under construction.  Instead it is up and lovely.
I am just thrilled with it and want to endorse your writing work to anyone!!!
You heard my heart and my head and made it come alive.
Truly, truly a gift worth more than $100,000
Thank you, thank you, thank you
~Joan K. King, Owner of Joan Kenerson King Consulting and Counseling, LLC

I have had multiple Starla blog experiences and found them all a pleasure.  I first met Starla when she was writing a blog for a mutual friend of mine.  My friend’s blog went from blah to BLING!  So wanting to create a blog for my husband’s business I reached out to Starla for coaching.  I spent 1 hour on the phone with her…when I was done I had the confidence to get started.  I also knew that if I needed more where to find her.  She is wonderful to collaborate with or have her take care of the whole blog thing.  I highly recommend her!

Starla — wow you captured the beauty of essence. You know how and what to say that’s energizing!

Thanks again for helping create a website that reflects who I am!  You brilliantly wove my information into a flowing and interesting story.  I would still be sitting at Starbucks racking my brain about the content of the site, but you made it painless!  Thank you!

Fab… it is like you are in my head ;-)

I enjoy Starla’s writing style.  She has a real talent for expressing emotion and visual expression with a simple display of words.  This is a valuable skill that is often lacking when using today’s communication tools.
~ Michelle Bonn, Owner & CEO of Expedient Trade

I’ve begun my Friday by visiting OutWrite Living and re-reading several of your blogs, and dwelling on some that I had missed (oh my!).  I equate this like stepping up to the Slurpee machine at 7-11, finding all my favorite flavors, and then like my sons do, standing there and ‘topping’ my cup repeatedly, blending all of the fuel your words give to my spirit. Delightful, without the brain freeze!!
