Susie Meserve
Author, Educator, Creative Mind-Body Coach
Hi there. I’m Susie.
I’m a writer, educator, and creative mind-body coach for moms who create. I empower moms to make time and space for their own creative practices so they can reclaim their identities as writers and artists.
Based near Berkeley, CA, I also offer writing classes, 1:1 feedback sessions, and creative prompts groups for everyone (not just moms!), on Zoom and in person.
Susie has a remarkable ability to create a space that nurtures both the creative process and the growth of an artist striving to expand professionally.
— Michelle, writer, coaching client
“Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?”
—Mary Oliver
Susie is a great coach and just a wonderful person to be around. I love how she’s helped me get in touch with my inner wisdom by guiding me to connect with my body. Her intuition is spot on. I’m a grateful client!
— Vika, coaching client
I believe the creative life is worth living.
It is not easy to be creative in a world where the arts are undervalued and underpaid, tech executives call themselves “creatives,” and AI is making art for us. It is especially not easy when work and motherhood make it almost impossible to find the time.
Is it worth doing anyway? Hell, yes, hell yes, hell yes.
I believe it is possible to live a radically fulfilling creative life. To make the time and space to nurture your entire creative self—even with the very real demands of parenthood.
