Hey! I’m Bailey, a writer from Northern California.

I believe that some the best things in life take time—writing a book, building close-knit community, emotional healing, steeping the perfect cup of tea. I’ve written a lot about what it looks like to develop perseverance in health, faith, and all of life including this piece on writing as a healing practice. I hope and pray that by telling my own story, you’ll find some hope and healing along the way. 

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing (2011) and a Master of Arts in Professional Writing (2017). Once upon a time, I was also a massage therapist. I still get bodywork done and am kind of obsessed with salt lamps now. For almost a decade, I worked at a private Christian university, and for the two years I lived in Nashville, Tennessee, I was on an editorial team for a small publishing company. 

Besides writing, I also enjoy a good road trip, hot yoga, cooking auto-immune friendly recipes with my fella, memoirs, and serving at my local church.
