Work With Me
Whether you’re just starting your healing journey or ready to write your memoir, I have resources to support you at every stage.
I’m Kayla Volturno a trauma survivor, published author, and writing strategist.
I went no contact with my mother at 19 and spent the next ten years trying to make sense of what happened.
I didn’t have a therapist. I didn’t have a coach. I just had a Word document and a desperate need to tell the truth.
For ten years, I wrote in secret. I doubted every word. I rewrote chapters dozens of times. I convinced myself no one would care about my story. I almost gave up more times than I can count.
But I kept writing. Not because I thought I’d become a bestselling author. Because writing was the only thing that made the chaos make sense. It was how I reclaimed my narrative. How I stopped letting them define me.
When I finally published I Was Once The Girl In The Red House in 2025, I realized two things:
One: I wasn’t alone. Hundreds of trauma survivors had been carrying their stories for years, not knowing where to start.
Two: It didn’t have to take me ten years. I figured it out the hard way so you don’t have to.
Now I help trauma survivors write their stories through a trauma-informed, anti-hustle approach.
No “turn your pain into content”. No pressure to publish. No timeline but your own.
Whether you’re writing unsent letters to process your feelings, reclaiming your narrative privately, or ready to publish your memoir I’ve been where you are. And I’m here to help.
I believe healing shouldn’t be gatekept. You don’t need a huge budget or years of therapy to start processing your trauma. You just need tools that actually work and a community that gets it.
