Breathing Space Creative Studio __
Founded by award-winning writer, Chelene Knight.
At Breathing Space Creative, I’ve built an ecosystem that supports writers—for life.
My approach blends MBSR (Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction), and self-discovery to help you gain the clarity and confidence needed to make purposeful, aligned decisions in your projects and creative career.
From personalized 1:1 coaching, writing mentorships, and self-paced programs to a supportive creative community, support calls, and workshops, there are countless ways we can collaborate and grow together. All 1:1 offerings are delivered by Chelene.
Welcome to my Studio!
At Breathing Space Creative, I offer a unique blend of programs specifically designed for writers, while my coaching programs are tailored to support all creatives and creative entrepreneurs.
Whether through one-on-one writing mentorships, The Forever Writers Club, personalized coaching, or compassionate editing, the core of my work is about guiding creatives on a journey of self-discovery and mindset transformation. I help you make aligned decisions about your creative projects.
It’s time to put yourself first
Hard truth: It’s impossible to make aligned decisions about your creative life without understanding what you want from having a book in the world, and what you want it to do for your career.
At Breathing Space Creative, I seamlessly blend creativity, self-discovery, and mindset, through the lens of MBSR, offering a comprehensive and transformative experience for writers and all creatives. Our holistic approach ensures that each client not only improves their skills but also embarks on a meaningful journey of self-discovery and personal growth. I help you quiet the noise, and get clear about what makes sense for you.

Struggling to set boundaries and protect your passions? We are all different human beings.
My Say No With Love Method helps creatives like you confidently advocate for your needs and nurture your passions while also navigating stress in a more aligned way. I deeply cherish the wisdom gained from personal journeys, acknowledging that every story holds invaluable expertise. I am committed to shedding outdated narratives that burden us. My ultimate goal is to facilitate growth.
Many of my clients find great value in partaking in multiple services, combining coaching, mentoring, and editing to fully support their creative journeys. This integrative approach allows you to benefit from a consistent and supportive framework, fostering continuous growth and success in your creative endeavours.
At Breathing Space Creative we resist society’s push to hurry up and take the fastest route. Instead, we embrace the long path, paying attention to everything along the way, especially the things we might usually overlook.
Your Personal Development Coach
“Hello! My name is Chelene Knight, and I am an author of five books, an editor, and a coach. With over a decade of experience working with creatives and professionals, I specialize in helping people prioritize what truly matters. Through my Say No With Love Method and a deeply personal one-on-one approach, I guide individuals in managing their energy, rediscovering joy, and eliminating burnout. Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction techniques are at the core of everything I do.
I’ve recently enhanced my expertise through an intensive coaching certification program, broadening my skills and perspective. Additionally, as a certified mindfulness facilitator, I incorporate mindfulness practices into my coaching. Personal development is integral to my life because the more you invest in yourself, the better you become in all your endeavors.”
Coaching
Coaching: My coaching programs are designed to help all creatives uncover their authentic voice and vision. By diving into personal experiences and deep mindset work, clients gain clarity on their goals and the confidence to pursue them. This process is not about honing craft but about fostering a resilient and growth-oriented mindset.
Coaches help individuals clarify their objectives, identify obstacles, and develop strategies to overcome them.
Mentoring
Mentoring: My 1 to 1 mentorship programs, led by me, award-winning writer, Chelene Knight, are specifically tailored for writers. Through personalized guidance, I help writers uncover their authentic voice and vision. While pulling from my coaching program, we go deep into the craft of writing. By first establishing your why, project’s action, and non-negotiables, you’ll gain clarity on your goals and the confidence to pursue them. Although we will go deep into the craft of writing, this process is not just about honing craft but also about fostering a resilient and growth-oriented mindset.
A mentor typically shares their knowledge, expertise, and experiences with a mentee, guiding them through challenges, offering advice, and helping them navigate their career paths.
Editing
Editing with Purpose: For writers who have a semi-polished manuscript and want to level up their current draft, my compassionate editing approach goes beyond refining your story and finding the right narrative shape. I focus on understanding the deeper story you want to tell and ensuring that your unique perspective shines through. This involves a collaborative approach where your intent and emotional journey are honoured and enhanced.
Developmental editing primarily focuses on the refinement and enhancement of written material with a core focus on shape/narrative flow.
Mini-manuscript Feedback Package
Receive personalized, in-depth feedback on your writing from award-winning author Chelene Knight. This package includes:
detailed written feedback on up to 20 pages of your manuscript, delivered via tracked comments for clarity and precision.
You’ll also receive a video walkthrough where I personally discuss my feedback—because tone and nuance matter.
You’ll have the opportunity to ask up to five follow-up questions, whether they’re about the feedback itself or the writing and publishing process in general.
Creative Support Calls
Creative Support calls with me are designed to assist you in uncovering and addressing the barriers that may be hindering your progress. My style is a coaching-mentorship hybrid, diverging from traditional coaching with its ebb and flow between partnership and leadership. With my skill in active-listening, certified mindfulness facilitation, and thought-provoking questions, you'll explore the core of your challenges and gain valuable insights to move forward. Post-call you will receive follow-up communication with custom recommended resources based on our discussion.
The Forever Writers Club
As part of our commitment to supporting writers, we offer access to the Forever Writers Club. This vibrant community provides ongoing support, resources, and live session opportunities for writers at all stages of their journey. Members can connect with like-minded individuals, participate in group sessions, and receive continuous encouragement and feedback to keep their creative momentum going. The club is organized by creativity, mindfulness, personal growth, and living categories.
