And then the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk to bloom.
​~ Anais Nin

I have been writing and making art since I was a little girl. It is how I learned to speak.

A survivor of a difficult childhood, I wrote hundreds of poems that became my published poetic memoir The Blooming of the Lotus: a spiritual journey from trauma into light ​about the process of my own healing. Along with therapy, the writing was a powerful piece of my healing. 

​I believe I was given the gift of what happened to me, along with the gifts of deep spirituality and my creative abilities, so that I could turn around and give to others.


The earth is vital to me, as are the elements of nature. I live in western Massachusetts on an old farm bordering 2500 acres of state forest. It is here that I write and make art that continually leads me to who I truly am.

Comments about Robin ​as a workshop ​facilitator.

​Robin is certified by the Birren Institute of Autobiographical Studies to lead Guided Autobiography workshops.
​As a graduate of S.O.A.R. (Skills, Opportunity, Action, Recognition), Robin is also certified to lead trauma-informed workshops.

Robin self-published a companion book to her memoir, called The Blooming of the Lotus for Professionals: for all those who impact survivors' lives.
She is currently working on a prose memoir about backpacking in the wilderness when she was 27, the year her life began.​

Uncover the sacredness of who you have been over your lifetime and who you have yet to be.
