A practical first collaboration

Start with one useful moment.

A small paid pilot can help us explore the fit before developing a larger collection. For example: three original 3–5 minute practices around one audience need.

The recordings above are full-length teaching samples from my existing library. A pilot would be newly scoped for your audience and delivery requirements.

01

Choose the audience and use.

Tell me who you serve, where the content will appear, and what moment you want to support.

02

Agree on the creative brief.

We’ll define the practices, audio or video format, length, accessibility needs, review process, usage rights, fee, and timeline.

03

Create, review, and learn.

Review the proposed approach and finished material, then use your audience’s feedback to decide what comes next.

Your audience. A practice that fits.

Let’s make something useful

If you’re building a meditation, wellbeing, workplace, travel, or evening-rest experience, I’d love to explore how my teaching could support it. Send a few lines about your audience, where the content will appear, and your preferred format. We can start with a focused conversation about a paid pilot. [email protected]
