I’m Chelene Knight, author of five books including the award-winning novel, Junie, certified mindfulness facilitator, and coach. With over a decade of experience in the writing & publishing industry, I support writers and other creatives by strengthening the three key layers of their creative life: the self, the project, and the ecosystem. We deserve creative lives that fit who we are. My work is guided by the belief that creativity works best as an ecosystem. Care for yourself, and your projects grow. Align those projects, and they begin to support each other—sometimes in ways that lead to income streams that feel natural, integrated, and sustainable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd3d21e5b87d000131972f/09bf6d30-8282-4faa-8159-1c9792c5288a/20240511_Breathing+Space+Creative-0944.jpg Home - My work with writers is slow work. Intentional work. Rooted in care. My goal is to offer writers a simplified, aligned, and sustainable approach to their creative life, one that’s rooted in self-trust, clarity, and purpose. How do I do this? By taking the time to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface. Whether we’re working through a manuscript, navigating a season of uncertainty, or clarifying your creative direction, I help you name the things that feel tangled, so you can begin to move forward with intention. How we make decisions, matters. I stepped away from working inside traditional publishing because there wasn’t always dedicated time to truly listen. To sit with writers long enough to understand not just what they were writing, but why. The way I support writers now is different. Slower. Deeper. More personal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd3d21e5b87d000131972f/baa48b73-4367-4ce1-8783-3ae72ea90316/Mirror+Work+1.jpg Home - The Self Your writing life starts with you—your values, beliefs, body, energy, and the season of life you’re in all shape what and how you create. Through reflective practices, mindfulness tools, and gentle accountability, I help you reconnect to yourself, notice patterns that affect your writing, and build a grounded, intentional way of showing up to the project. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd3d21e5b87d000131972f/26a69389-9f56-4621-8fe1-89df622bbcca/Unstructured+Play.png Home - The Project or manuscript We anchor your project around clear pillars: your why, what the work wants to do in the world, and your non-negotiables. Using a coach-like feedback approach, I offer supportive, phase-appropriate guidance … through questions, strategy, and mindset shifts, that strengthens the work while building your confidence as a creative. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd3d21e5b87d000131972f/30e0c96f-4fc8-4d40-b3d4-2fb782ccc9e6/Junie+on+Bikes.jpg Home - The Creative Ecosystem Your creative work is shaped by everything around it, so we zoom out to explore how your writing connects to your content, systems, processes, energy, relationships, and the life you’re living. Together, we look at what might be possible, experimenting with low-stakes visibility, gentle structures, and aligned ideas, to see what supports your creativity, circulation, and sense of sustainability over time. This is our slow-growth approach to the ever charged word … platform. ; ) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd3d21e5b87d000131972f/3945b422-a923-4e32-ac6e-05b849bfe682/in+person+snwl2.JPG Home - Our creativity doesn’t live apart from our lives I help creatives build lives that actually support their art and vice versa. Through Breathing Space Creative, I guide writers and multidisciplinary artists in using writing as a tool for clarity, confidence, and innovation. My deepest desire is to help creative people carve out aligned space to live fully without compromise. I also work with organizations to design programs that reflect this vision, helping them support artists in ways that challenge narrow societal views and champion the full strength of their voices. My work helps shape creative ecosystems—both personal and institutional—that are spacious, sustainable, and entirely authentic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd3d21e5b87d000131972f/539dd697-8c1c-4cb9-84ac-0c01e0a5a106/Certifications+%26+Affiliations.png Home -

At Breathing Space Creative, we believe writing and all forms of meaningful creative work, requires more than craft. It calls for emotional maintenance and sustainable creative ecosystems. We’re here to change the story society tells about artists. It starts with each creative believing their life and work matter — and grows into a world that finally sees the arts as essential. Let’s work on you, your project, and your creative ecosystem. —Chelene Knight, award-winning author & coach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd3d21e5b87d000131972f/1626561327113-VQPHZEWL83DF8DMIUVX9/Jessica1.png About Us -

Think of these as whispers of encouragement for wherever you are on your journey. You don’t have to listen all at once. Let these offerings meet you when you need them. I will be adding new reflections every other week. Take what resonates. Leave what doesn’t. And if something stirs something in you—write it down, sit with it, or come back to it later. Reflection is the most powerful tool a writer can use. It leads us to aligned decision-making which in today’s noisy world, is pivotal. This space is just for you. -Chelene https://www.breathingspacecreative.com/self-discovery-studio daily 0.75 2025-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd3d21e5b87d000131972f/c3535dfc-cc35-4c06-aff4-9314395b76ec/20240511_Breathing+Space+Creative-0262.jpg For Health & Wellness Organizations - “If you’re a leader, HR professional, or wellness coordinator seeking meaningful support for your team, these sessions are designed to nurture those who nurture others.” When your staff are given space to reflect and recharge, they return to their roles with renewed clarity, resilience, and compassion—benefiting your entire organization.

Start here. Reflective writing is where real creative clarity, and lasting change, begins. If you want to build a writing life that truly fits who you are (not who you used to be, not who others expect you to be), reflection is non-negotiable. This resource will show you why reflective writing is the foundation for intentional decision-making, creative evolution, and a sustainable writing practice. Before you chase the next draft, the next launch, the next opportunity, pause. Look inward. Because you can’t change what you don’t look at. https://www.breathingspacecreative.com/poll daily 0.75 2025-06-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd3d21e5b87d000131972f/d5f902ec-7811-4e37-b8f0-193a32f141fb/20240511_Breathing+Space+Creative-0395.jpg Poll Thank you Page - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.breathingspacecreative.com/ulp-thank-you daily 0.75 2025-07-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd3d21e5b87d000131972f/d5f902ec-7811-4e37-b8f0-193a32f141fb/20240511_Breathing+Space+Creative-0395.jpg ULP Thank You Page - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.breathingspacecreative.com/wp-referrals daily 0.75 2025-07-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd3d21e5b87d000131972f/c3535dfc-cc35-4c06-aff4-9314395b76ec/20240511_Breathing+Space+Creative-0262.jpg Referrals | For Wellness Practitioners - Referral Guide: For Mental Health & Wellness Professionals Why Writing? Why Me? I use reflective writing as a tool as a deep, intentional practice for processing, pattern-tracking, and creative decision-making. I’ve spent decades using writing to explore emotional texture, internal shifts, and the creative life beneath the surface. As a published author (of 5 books), certified coach, and workplace mindfulness facilitator, I specialize in helping clients make meaning from their writing to help faciliate personal growth and life transitions. The work I do is designed to support creative individuals who are navigating transition, identity shifts, or emotional fog, and who need a practice that bridges insight and action. Through guided conversation and carefully tailored reflection, I help clients build a sustainable writing process that gives them something steady to return to, and something tangible to build from. https://www.breathingspacecreative.com/mentorships-thank-you daily 0.75 2025-08-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd3d21e5b87d000131972f/c899fe2c-7120-4b0a-a4cf-12a487b58506/20240511_Breathing+Space+Creative-0852.jpg Mentorships Thank you! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.breathingspacecreative.com/recovery-coaching daily 0.75 2025-12-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd3d21e5b87d000131972f/c3535dfc-cc35-4c06-aff4-9314395b76ec/20240511_Breathing+Space+Creative-0262.jpg Renewal Sessions - What are Renewal Sessions? Recovery, to me, is not limited to substance use—it can mean navigating loss, life transitions, identity shifts, or simply emerging from a period of emotional fog. We are all recovering from something. My renewal sessions are designed for people who are already on their path of healing and growth and want support in sustaining that momentum. These sessions are not therapy, nor are they for those in acute crisis. Instead, they are for people who are ready to keep moving forward—who want to stay connected to themselves, to their progress, and to what’s possible next. I use reflective writing and creative practices as tools for processing, pattern-tracking, and decision-making. Writing becomes a way to notice internal shifts, make meaning, and translate insight into action. You do not need to consider yourself a “writer” to benefit—just a willingness to engage in creative play, self-reflection, and intentional conversation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd3d21e5b87d000131972f/66e5a24f-4b37-4e46-bb01-43070836684d/20240511_Breathing+Space+Creative-0014.jpg Renewal Sessions - Why work with me? I’ve spent years exploring the connection between writing, recovery, and self-growth. As the author of five books, a certified SHE RECOVERS® coach, and a workplace mindfulness facilitator, I bring deep experience in holding space for people as they navigate change. My approach is compassionate, practical, and rooted in creative exploration and getting to know the whole person. Together, we’ll build a sustainable reflective practice that supports your recovery & renewal and your ongoing becoming. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd3d21e5b87d000131972f/981c17cf-97d7-4b2a-973d-b3c8f1340e16/Certifications+%26+Affiliations.png Renewal Sessions - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.breathingspacecreative.com/workshops daily 0.75 2026-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd3d21e5b87d000131972f/3945b422-a923-4e32-ac6e-05b849bfe682/in+person+snwl2.JPG Workshops - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd3d21e5b87d000131972f/add3267e-5a4f-4e03-b52e-425fa357d02b/2.png Workshops - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd3d21e5b87d000131972f/b1fef954-3624-4e11-a39e-abe9b6d641d0/Workshop+Quotes.png Workshops - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.breathingspacecreative.com/workshops-waitlist-thank-you-page daily 0.75 2025-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd3d21e5b87d000131972f/d5f902ec-7811-4e37-b8f0-193a32f141fb/20240511_Breathing+Space+Creative-0395.jpg Workshops Waitlist THANK YOU page - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.breathingspacecreative.com/workshop-sign-up-thank-you daily 0.75 2026-02-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd3d21e5b87d000131972f/a79cdd47-e51f-4c6d-bad3-481a86fb2931/20240511_Breathing+Space+Creative-0344.jpg Workshop Sign up thank you - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.breathingspacecreative.com/hollyhock-retreat daily 0.75 2026-02-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd3d21e5b87d000131972f/0b2f0584-fe90-4613-a86a-fc2b7c589986/Website+Events+Graphics.png Hollyhock Retreat https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd3d21e5b87d000131972f/1770004835586-TWDAX6WVAPDZ1T19KYVL/Hollyhock_Forest_Deck.jpg Hollyhock Retreat - Make it stand out Hollyhock Retreat Forest Deck https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd3d21e5b87d000131972f/29872d46-a3ec-43ec-ade7-c42cd29bec5f/20240511_Breathing+Space+Creative-0029.jpg Hollyhock Retreat Chelene Knight is the author of five books, including Safekeeping: A Writer’s Guided Journal For Launching a Book With Love (Anansi, 2025) and Let It Go: Free Yourself From Old Beliefs and Find a New Path To Joy (HarperCollins Canada, 2024).
