Consulting & Editing

Get Your Story Out There

For over a decade, I have worked behind the scenes helping mission-driven entrepreneurs, authors, and innovators find their voice and share their stories with the world.

What started as freelance editing for wellness bloggers evolved into full-scale brand development, content strategy, and communications consulting for clients ranging from published authors to regenerative businesses. I have edited books published by Hay House, Indigo River Publishing and others, guided authors through the book writing and self-publishing process, supported successful crowdfunding campaigns, developed brand identities for startups, and helped countless writers refine their craft.

I approach each collaboration with the same philosophy that guides my facilitation work: authentic expression matters more than perfection, and every story deserves to be told with clarity, heart, and intention. I will ask you detailed questions, listen deeply, and craft a bespoke solution tailored to your unique needs.

Whether you’re building a brand from scratch, breaking ground on your memoir, or simply seeking to develop your voice as a writer, I bring both creative intuition and practical expertise to help you succeed.

Testimonials

What clients say

Toby is a fabulous mentor, editor, and regenerative business boss! She is creative and so much fun to work with. She is the editor of Regenerate Your Reality book, and has helped with building foundations for our project. We are grateful to be friends with Toby and work partners! We highly recommend Toby and her work!

Jean Pullen, Regenerate Your Reality

If you are looking for a fresh mind, creative ideas, experience, skills and a lovely personality in your consultant, then look no further. Her input on how to improve our social media and online exposure, along with brainstorming support and business-name ideas, was invaluable and refreshing.

Isabel and Graeme Essen

Being a non-native English speaker who wrote a book in English, I needed more than an editor. Toby made my work an enjoyable read and taught me to write better English. Her understanding of style, composition, and grammar is outstanding.

Raffaello Manacorda, Conscious Relationships

I’ve really enjoyed working with Toby. Her professionalism and punctuality are second to none. She understood my style quickly and edited with that in mind—whether blogs, long articles, or the book I’m on now.

Mo Issa, Writer & Entrepreneur

Before Toby, writing was my greatest time consumer and deepest anxiety. Since working with her, I’ve had three books published by Hay House and articles in Huffington Post. She is professional, reliable, talented, and a delight to collaborate with.

Donna Wild, Author & Speaker

Toby is a delight to work with. She is full of encouragement and positivity. When I developed an interest in travel writing, she mentored me enthusiastically and shared her insights with generosity.
