About

Hi, I'm Linda Jones,
also known as The Writing Doula.
I help people navigate life transitions, strengthen emotional wellness, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence through personalized coaching, writing, and practical technology.
Through my business, ManeLock Communications, LLC, I have provided coaching, consulting, speaking, and workshop presentations for colleges, nonprofit organizations, faith-based and spiritual communities, senior centers, recreation centers, and community organizations.
My work integrates creative, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive practices that support reflection, resilience, and personal growth.


Listening is at the heart of my practice. I believe people deserve support that honors both their experiences and their goals.
Drawing from my background as a career journalist, certified grief recovery specialist, AI strategist, and wellness practitioner, I provide thoughtful guidance tailored to each person’s unique story and circumstances.
My approach is centered on helping people navigate change, overcome emotional and mental roadblocks, and reconnect with their sense of direction and possibility.
Together, we create practical strategies and supportive tools that align with your personal goals and values.
