Robin Finn, MPH, MA, is an award-winning writer, educator, and “narrative alchemist.” She is the founder of Heart. Soul. Pen.®, Heartifacts™, and Hot Writing™ — three transformational writing experiences that help women reclaim their voices, release limiting beliefs, and reconnect to their authentic selves. She is the author of Heart. Soul. Pen.: Find Your Voice on the Page and in Your Life (Morehouse Publishing, 2024) and the novel Restless in L.A. (Inkspell, 2017). Robin is on the faculty of the UCLA Extension Writers’ Program, where she teaches the Women’s Writing Weekend Workshop. Her work bridges creativity, women’s empowerment, and personal transformation, offering women experiences that are both inspiring and profoundly restorative.

Robin’s academic and professional training uniquely position her to guide transformational writing experiences. She holds a Master of Public Health from Columbia University with a specialization in women’s health and a Master’s degree in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica — an interdisciplinary foundation that informs her mind-body-soul approach to wellness through writing. This dual training allows her to support women through life transitions such as midlife shifts, identity evolution, grief, and creative awakening, providing both structure and sanctuary for their stories.

Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Maria Shriver’s Sunday Paper, Mamamia, and other national and international outlets. Her personal essay, “When Our Daughter Walked In On Us,” was one of The New York Times’ Most Read Stories of 2019. Based in Los Angeles, Robin is a trusted voice in women’s empowerment and creative wellness, leading workshops, retreats, and private coaching experiences that inspire clarity, confidence, healing, and lasting self-connection. She is also a longtime advocate for children with ADHD and learning differences.
