Claudio Naranjo, MD. (The Chilean psychiatrist who brought the Enneagram of Personality to the West.) THE BOOK: Healing Civilization: Bringing Personal Transformation into the Societal Realm. Foreword by Jean Houston, PhD. (Nonfiction)

“I owe the present edition of my book to Naomi Rose, to whom I am indebted. An experienced editor and writing coach helping people find their own depth through self-expression. I trusted that she would be the right person to revise my manuscript. She was moved by its content and not only was grateful for the opportunity to read it but also expressed the wish that she might be of further help in its becoming known to the English-speaking public [through publication]. I like the idea of having my book produced with such maternal care and deep appreciation.” — Claudio Naranjo

Rahima Warren, MFT (ret.) (Rahima was an Expressive Arts therapist in private practice until her retirement. She brought her rich vein of understanding of the healing journey into the form of a fantasy trilogy.) THE BOOK: The Star-Seer’s Prophecy. (Fiction)

"It's been really wonderful working with Naomi. She is so kind and supportive and gentle and appreciative, yet perceptive of the places where my book needed improvement, from commas to emotional nuances. Her faith in my book has been very important to me in keeping my inner critic at bay. She has inspired me to honor what I have written by doing the work necessary to bring it into the coherent and beautiful form it deserves." — Rahima Warren

Clare Goodwin. (Clare is a Psychosynthesis therapist). THE BOOK: The Gift of the Mandala: A Guided Journey of Self-Discovery. (Nonfiction)

“Unconditional positive regard and presence are two qualities that every good therapist aspires to. When achieved, the counselor becomes a healer. What a delightful surprise to find that Naomi Rose excels in these attributes. Through being deeply listened to, I am starting to hear myself. Because of that, my relationship to writing has shifted to a level that will grow beyond the book project and inform the rest of my life. The book has become a bonus, and I am grateful." — Clare Goodwin

Shoshana Fershtman, JD, PhD. (Shoshana is a Jungian analyst and psychologist who has studied and taught Jewish mysticism.) THE BOOK: The Mystical Exodus in Jungian Perspective: Transforming Trauma and the Wellsprings of Renewal. (Nonfiction)

"When I began this process, my deepest yearnings were twofold: one, that the words expressed would be a true expression of my soul; and two, that in the process of writing I would find and deepen my relationship with my creativity, and myself. Naomi has been a precious guide in both respects. She has provided unwavering support and profound mirroring, and has gently guided and encouraged me, again and again, to write from the place of my true and authentic self.

“In the process, I have come into relationship with my deepest creative self, after a lifetime of longing and disconnection from it. Her intellectual capacity is also profound: she understands and helps me give voice to complex intellectual and conceptual concepts, as well as deeply personal and spiritual ones. She is a truly gifted teacher and guide. Anyone who has the pleasure of working with her will encounter the joy of discovering many hidden gifts and treasures in their work and, perhaps more importantly, in themselves." — Shoshana Fershtman

Shelle Goldstein, LCSW, PA. (Shelle is a psychotherapist.) THE BOOK: Blossoming Beyond the Desert: A Feminine Reimagining of the Passover Seder's Healing Legacy. (Nonfiction)

"As a therapist, I know how grateful my patients are when they feel genuinely understood, not just their processes, but their essence. I didn't know I could feel the same way with a book-developer! But working with Naomi, I felt that and more. I too am profoundly grateful for her skillful way of bringing out the best in her clients and, mostly, for her humanity. She provided me with a sense of being understood, helped me clarify what I wanted to convey, and organized the material so that it began to have more structural integrity. Her comments and suggestions reflected my intentions, and her questions inspired me to go deeper. Naomi shared with me a feeling of deep appreciation of my work, both the content and those passages where her 'breath was taken away.' That some of my writing touched her so deeply gave me a sense of confidence to trust my heart to speak its truth." — Shelle Goldstein

“When I decided to dive into all the notes I had collected and really turn my outline into a book, Naomi Rose was an invaluable partner on the journey. She understood what I wanted to say, and made sure that my thoughts flowed smoothly. Her grasp of the book extended from the overall vision down to the details, and even in small ways — by completing a phrase or rearranging a sentence or paragraph here and there — she created an appealing whole out of the many ideas I had to share. Her insights and her gift for understanding my message raised my confidence so much. She shared my vision, and was genuinely excited about getting this book out into the world. The book is now changing lives, and finding its way into homes and hearts around the world. She offered the support I needed to create the book that I dared to dream was possible. Thank you so much, Naomi!” — Barbara Hanneloré

Doreen Hamilton Downing, PhD. (Doreen is a clinical psychologist, group facilitator, trainer, seminar leader, and business consultant.) THE BOOK: The 7 Secrets to Essential Speaking: Find Your Voice, Change Your Life. (Nonfiction)

“The purpose of writing this book was to share with a wider audience the transformational work that I was doing with individuals and groups [about authentic public speaking]. In my workshops on authentic speaking, I knew how to guide people to their inner voice and speak from the heart. However, when writing, I was not able to tap into the clarity, strength, and power of my own inner knowing. Naomi provided the warm and inviting space that I needed to speak about my work and listen to the words as they emerged from within. She listened to my words before they were even shaped.

“She was fascinated with my ideas as I shared them with her, and this receptivity validated what I was wanting to write. She showed me how to write from my deeper Self. She showed me how to write from my deeper Self. It always surprises me when I receive a call from someone who has said they have read my book and want to work with me. This is what pleases me the most. Without the book, I could not have reached the number of people who are now able to learn about Essential Speaking. Naomi, thank you for listening to the heart of this book. It was inside me, and you welcomed it into being. Giving birth to books that heal is certainly your calling.” — Doreen Downing

Deborah Welch, PhD. (Deborah is the founder of Reflective Leadership Global.) THE BOOK: Forgiveness at Work: Stories of the Power, Possibility, and Practice of Forgiveness in the Workplace. (Nonfiction)

“I just wanted to thank you for your help in the early part of my book development. You really helped me to listen more deeply for my soul’s calling in what I was writing, to share more of my experiences and heart. I thought you would enjoy knowing that the book finally got birthed into the world. I am getting really, really good feedback on it so far. Thanks for your wonderful work with authors like me.” — Deborah Welch

Earlene Gleisner, RN, Reiki Master. (Earlene is a Traditional Reiki Master, a retired nurse, and a Personal Growth Facilitator.) THE BOOK: The Spirit Bundle (part of “The Sacred Bundle” series. (Fiction)

"If you ever need an expert second opinion and a gentle hand to help you with your manuscript, I highly recommend Naomi Rose. The scope of our work together was to have her give me an overview of what she thought of my second novel, The Spirit Bundle. She pointed out possible chapter reconstructions, the need for embedding character or scene descriptions earlier in the book, general syntax corrections, and much more.

“Those kinds of improvement strategies might have threatened some authors. Naomi presented each observation with supreme respect for my creative process and my author’s sensitivity to correction. Most everything she offered me has profoundly increased the quality of my tale. I am profoundly grateful for her knowledge and her caring for this project.” — Earlene Gleisner

Cynthia Spring. (Cynthia is an author, social activist, and explorer of the unconventional.) THE BOOKS (all are part of “The Greater Reality” series): (1) 7 Questions About Life After Life / (2) 7 Questions About the Greater Reality / (3) 7 Stories to Light Your Way Home. (Books 1 and 2 are nonfiction; Book 3 is fiction.)

"I just finished going through all the pages you edited. You did a superb job. It was just marvelous to see all the things you caught, when I thought it was in pretty good shape [already] — especially some really good catches of things that were fuzzy.

“I can’t imagine doing anything that meticulous. The only thing I do that comes close is a 1000-piece puzzle." — Cindy Spring

If you are a healer with a book in you, we can listen out your book together

You really don’t have to do this all alone.

I have helped many healers write their books (the “Process” phase), and even get them into print and other book formats (the “Product” phase). (In between these two is the “Production” phase, which involves things like editing, proofreading, typesetting, and so on — all of which I can coordinate, if desired.)

Whether you feel eager and ready to start — or daunted by the prospect — I will take you in right where you are. We’ll listen to you together. And in the process, things will become more clear to you, and space will open up for you to receive your infallible inner guidance.

Then, as you more and more trust yourself and your creative process (and my noting the particulars of your creative process so you can write in the way that’s your own is included in our work together), the writing will flow out of you and feel like you. You will trust it because you recognize it. This will give you deep-rooted confidence.

I offer you expert, nurturing guidance and support to write the book of your heart. In addition to being a perceptive listener, I have studied various forms of healing, particularly Sufi healing in the tradition of Hazrat Inayat Khan. I bring over 30 years of professional expertise in the publications field, working with publishers and authors.

I’m committed to helping you from beginning to end — “spark to finish” (I can edit your manuscript once it’s at that point, and also — if desired — guide you in self-publishing the completed book). So if you stay the course, you will have a book that you love to revel in and share with a larger audience.

You don’t have to be alone in this process. Find out what’s possible.

“There was a deep knowing that there was so much I needed to express, and that urgency was called a book. [After a while] it went from inchoate to ‘This is absolutely possible. I’m going to do it!’” [And she did.] — Jenaii Gold, PhD, MFT; author, The Moon, the Hare, and the Pearl: An Intuitive Guide to the Therapist-Client Relationship
