Hella Buchheim started her company Personal Histories to give voice to people who had a story to tell. Personal Histories works with people who want to write their own stories. Too many times families are left with a family history consisting of a genealogical chart, which records births and deaths only but gives no insight to the lives of those family members. Her company’s mission is to help as many people as possible leave an interesting legacy.
Hella Buchheim frequently conducts workshops and writing seminars. She does one-on-one coaching sessions to help people stay motivated throughout the writing process. Her enthusiasm and knowledge of life story writing is contagious at her speaking engagements. Erinnerung, Gedanken, Memories¦Survival of the human spirit her mother’s life story, was her first published book. She also has written the CD Rom A Plate Full of Memories…a coaching guide to creating a family memory cookbook and blogs about the subject often at http://blog.platefullofmemories.com
