Persephone “Seph” Young — Writer, Educator & Creative Guide
Once, I was teaching, writing, and healing — each on a separate path. Over time, I realized they were threads of the same constellation, calling me to bring them into conversation.
I’ve created the Stellar Support Space because I saw a need in myself and in others around me: people who are creating meaningful work often feel disconnected from their own processes, their structures, their rest, and their community.
My background is rooted in education, storytelling, and care work. I’ve worked with people across sectors and from around the world, and I’ve learned that real transformation happens when structure meets heart.
My practice is rooted in a healing justice framework where my support of your learning and transformation is an act of collective resistance and love. It is intentionally radical, trauma-informed, abolitionist, and directed towards a future where we and our Earth are free.
The Constellation is my effort to create trellises for the gardens that we are, a foundation for the monumental spirits I have been fortunate to encounter, and a home for what we will become together.
Thank you for honoring me with your dreams.
My Approach
Holistic + Relational: I work with you, not just your work. In our time together, I honor your inner life, your creative impulses, and your vision.
Intentional Structure: I believe in planning with spaciousness. We co-create frameworks that support your flow, not choke it.
Ethical Collaboration: My practice is grounded in responsibility, mutual respect, and clear boundaries.
Healing + Creativity: Whether it's burnout, creative blocks, or just a lack of clarity — I bring tools from healing and coaching to help you move through.
My Experience
Educator + Facilitator: With 20 years of experience as a facilitator in socioemotional issues, mental and emotional health, education praxis, and community advocacy and activism, as well as degrees in Education, Psychology, and Leadership/Politics/Advocacy, I bring a dynamic perspective to my work.
Writer: I’ve written, coached, and edited peers and clients on personal and professional writing in various genres poetry, reports, research, essays. I have been published and awarded in poetry, educational, and social research, as well as maintaining my own writing practice.
Healer: My training as a Healer includes 20 years as a counselor, a dual degree in Psychology and Human Development, as well as master-level training as an energy worker. I am a Healer through family lineage, as well, guided by my Grandparents and other elders of blood and chosen family. My studies and practice alongside my own healing journey help me to support others as they navigate change and grief, transmute trauma, curate joy, and seek creative growth.
Collaborator: My work has been deeply embedded in my communities, which has allowed me the opportunity to partner with individuals and groups on curriculum design, writing projects, educational and creative programs, and collective practices. These collaborations have often led to long-term connections based in mutual respect and support.
