Phoebe has adapted her original screenplays into captivating short stories and novellas, and I believe you will find her work both engaging and inspiring.
Phoebe has made a name for herself in the film industry, earning recognition in several prestigious competitions. Her screenplays have been celebrated at the Los Angeles International Screenplay Awards, the Santa Barbara International Screenplay Awards, and the Palm Springs International Screenplay & Pitchdeck-Sizzle Reel-Trailer Contest, to name a few. Among her accolades are her full-feature screenplays, including "Only in Malibu," "Gold, Glory & Nobility," and "The Hallmark Couple." Each of these works exemplifies her ability to weave compelling narratives that resonate with audiences.
In addition to her feature work, Phoebe has penned several short screenplays that further showcase her passion for storytelling.

Additionally, Phoebe has written a delightful series of children's books under the pseudonym “LilithIvy von Satis.” These charming stories are sure to enchant young readers and include titles such as:

I am a dedicated Pet Bereavement Specialist with a deep compassion for both people and their beloved animal companions. With a background in grief counseling, and a lifelong love for animals, I understand the profound bond between pets and their owners, and the unique pain that accompanies losing them.
As a certified professional in pet loss grief support, I offer a safe and empathetic space for individuals and families to process their emotions, share their stories, and find healing in the midst of loss. My approach is rooted in compassion, active listening, and personalized care, recognizing that grief is not a “one-size-fits-all” experience. I am trained in helping people navigate the complex emotions of losing a pet, from feelings of sadness, guilt, and loneliness to the challenges of finding closure and honoring their pet’s memory.
Driven by the belief that pets are family members, I provide individual counseling sessions, group support, and educational resources to help pet owners at any stage of grief. Whether guiding someone through the early shock of loss, assisting in making end-of-life decisions, or supporting children in understanding pet loss, I always aim to provide understanding and comfort during one of life’s most difficult times.
In addition to counseling services, I am also an advocate for creating meaningful rituals and memorials to honor and celebrate the lives of cherished pets. Through compassion, empathy, and professional expertise, I help people find solace and peace in their journey of saying goodbye to their loyal companions.

I started 17 years ago as a veterinarian technician I always had larger goals in mind. I think the best thing I ever did was start from the bottom and make my way to the top. I was taking notes building relationships never burning a bridge. I always dreamed Big surrounded myself with others that did so as well. You’re most important objective is your mindset. I can contest you now owning my own veterinary hospital for five years, starting from a full plan to complete operation nothing is easy but it’s all about how bad do you want it? I can go over line by line detail to You, set up your lines of credit, hiring your employees, and most importantly, keeping your net income coming in using every inch of your building should make you money and every minute of your time should as well and never lose the love of what you do and remember every client and Pet is part of your business family. If you’re looking to start your next adventure I’ll be happy to give you details an inspiration reset your mind. Keep you on a positive flow. You got this.
