Story Fairy Studio
weave your wisdom | leave your legacy
Excavate the essence of your story to write a meaningful memoir with the qualities and character of a life well-lived.
Stories are not simply told.
They are lived. And passed on.
As present as the water in our cells, stories infuse every breath we take and word we make.
We are the sum of all the stories that have gone before us.
Yet, the equation remains open for the courageous creative to make their mark before each chapter ends.
If you are a sensitive soul, a creative spirit, an eternal seeker (or colourful character!), you may feel the call more than most.
Because dipping your quill into the well of your own stories enables you to…
… better understand the diverse facets of your being
… explore and express the sentiments you are holding
…and give your wisdom wings to enchant and enrich the lives of others.
Passing on your story continues your family legacy, affording future generations a glimpse into the patterns and personalities that shape their evolving lineage.
An intoxicating dance that brings softness, peace, and acceptance.

Oh, hi! It’s me, Lauren:
Story Fairy. Wisdom Weaver. Legacy Keeper.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve held my words tight. As a child, my drawers were filled with poems that “weren’t very good,” padlocked diaries of “unrealistic dreams,” and crumpled up song lyrics that I would cringe to expose to curious eyes.
But it was only a matter of time before words would break out of the closet to chase me.
In university, I fell into a class on storytelling, myth, and magic. One day in the library, a book flew off the shelf into the aisle next to me. A collection of fairy tales, unlike the ones I’d inherited from Disney.
Gut-wrenchingly real stories exposing the ugliest fears, deepest longings, and muddiest moments of women’s lives, disguised as fantasy.
Much to my surprise, I was enchanted.
While I had never personally experienced the days of taverns and nursemaids, I found meaning and relevance in every tale.
And I wondered, how it was that I could relate to women who shape-shifted and beguiled, fought for their freedom and fled the kingdom.
Stories are unique in offering us a translucent experience. We don’t only see the story, we see ourselves through it.
The tender truth of the human heart. The collective consciousness present in both reader and writer recognises its co-existence. This recognition unites…and ignites.
My inner fire for the remembrance of our shared humanity and the power of our creativity is what fuels me to help others mine their memories for meaning, delight in the depth of their wisdom, and reclaim their authentic expression.
As we weave our individual narratives into the collective web of stories, we are invited once again to make contact with the interconnectedness of all life.
Have we not met?
Maybe you’re looking for help to finally figure out how those fragments of a book draft fit together. You’re inspired to offer memoir writing workshops to your community. Or you want to weave a relative’s memories into a tapestry of sentimental moments for the grandkids.
Whatever your story wish, I can help.
Whatever your story wish…

“Working with Lauren is a gift. She gives you the time and thoughtful consideration very few others do.
Her in-depth knowledge of age old traditions of storytelling and the communication humans crave, means she opens up a magical way for you to express your message at a very deep level.”
SARAH WALTON
“With 20 years of teaching creative writing to gifted students, I thought I knew a thing or two about creative expression, but Lauren taught me the art and nuance of writing so that your audience clearly sees where they fit into your world with you.”
MYRNA HALPERN
“Lauren showed me how I can communicate my story to others and still be myself.
What I loved about the sessions the most, was her encouragement and empowerment not to be afraid to write.”
