HELLO AND WELCOME!

I’m Deborah Svec-Carstens.

Author, Book Coach, Spiritual Director

I believe healing comes in telling our stories. Your story matters—and you deserve a companion on your journey of telling it.

My work lives at the intersection of trauma, the body, and spirituality, and arises from lived experience. After being sexually assaulted in Paris in my early twenties, I had to rebuild my foundation by excavating the depths within to discover the courage, strength, and resilience that had always been there. Through community, years of spiritual searching and therapy, and finally, through writing, I continue finding my way back to myself. My memoir, Toward the Light: A Year in Paris, tells the story of those first fragile steps.

Now I walk alongside other women who are ready to go deeper into their stories, their questions, and their lives.

Let’s work together.
