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 trauma survivor, published author, and writing strategist. I went no contact with my mother at 19 and spent the next decade writing my way through the pain. Those letters became my memoir, I Was Once The Girl In The Red House, and they became the foundation of everything I teach now.
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.
Here’s how I can support you:
Beyond the Red House Community

What it is:
A private, trauma-informed community for survivors navigating healing, no contact, and complex family dynamics.

Not sure where to start?
Most people begin with the Beyond the Red House Community ($5/month) to get access to courses, support, and ongoing resources. From there, you can decide if you’re ready for Finish My Memoir.
You don’t have to have it all figured out. Just start where you are.
