Your story matters.
Your message matters.
Your words matter.
The Intuitive Editor is here to make sure your words sparkle and shine how you always imagined they would—
to get your inspiring message out into the world in a clear and powerful way.
My name is Mikael, and I love taking a piece of work, straightening it out, beautifying it, and leaving it better than when I found it.
I’m an avid writer, editor, and proofreader–though I must say I have a particular love and proclivity for taking a piece of writing and making it truly sing.
The Intuitive Editor was born when I realized my joy and passion in helping others polish their stories surpassed all the other ways that I could potentially serve people.
I absolutely love taking a piece of content, honing in on the message, stripping away the unnecessary, and correcting any unsightly spelling, grammar, or punctuation errors… All while maintaining your true voice and making sure the message shines through without any discrediting distractions or errors.
Many of my previous colleagues and employers can attest to just that. A few keep me on speed dial for when they need that final proofread since they know I deliver impeccable editorial feedback time and time again. They keep me on standby for their projects that need editing. I’m honored to be their go-to proofing person. Maintaining ongoing relationships with my clients is my favorite!
The clarifying process of editing and proofreading is my absolute favorite way to help people—especially authors, creatives, spiritual entrepreneurs/business owners, or other heart-centered content creators. If you have a sense that there’s more to life than what can only be physically seen, you’re my kind of person.
Combined with my uncanny intuitive abilities as a psychic and medium, I feel straight into the heart of your work to see how it truly wants to show up in the world. Then I can translate those energetic feelings into edits and suggestions to clarify and strengthen your message or story.
Consider me a book shaman since I can work with the seen and unseen between your words. Or even a story alchemist, spinning your stories into gold through the refining process of editing.
I’d be tickled to work with you on your book, content, or other messaging to make sure it’s crystal clear and free from errors, reflective of your voice, and shining how it’s meant to—to more powerfully connect with those who need your unique gifts and messages.
