Decades of recording my healing journey in my journals has inspired me to share and create opportunities for us to write in our own homes.

I believe that knowing yourself as well as you possibly can is where the power is. We have a tendency to go along busily with our lives and it often feels as if life is just happening to us without us having much of a say in it. But of course, this isn’t true.

Knowing yourself is power.Knowing who you are, what you need, how you really feel about things,
knowing what YOUR voice and YOUR energy feel like … this kind of clarity gives YOU the power to affect your quality of life.It’s freedom.

With that in mind, I create writing opportunities to help you get to know yourself, to develop a confidence in what your voice sounds like, and the freedom that comes with the clarity of knowing who you really are. Whether you are brand new to journaling or are a seasoned writer, I hope you will find something here that supports your journey. ♡

 
As a contemplative writing guide, I am honored to help women experience the beautiful, powerful and transformative practice of guided journaling and contemplative writing.

Why have a guide?

The element of surprise cannot be overlooked when talking about the benefits of the guided writing we’ll do in these programs. This is why I decided to make writing prompts into guided audio sessions rather than printed journals.

You wait with pen poised above your paper, this already enhances your feeling of wonder. You’re ready to write, you’re waiting with anticipation, it brings the spontaneity that is necessary for contemplative writing. It gives thinking brain no chance to take over. It allows your authentic Self to come forward.

You know how when you wake up you’re a clean slate before the thoughts of yesterday stream in and start to become what you’re focusing on? That’s the “why” behind these guided writing opportunities. Because you’re a clean slate as you are sitting awaiting the prompt; you feel a sense of anticipation, and even hope, about what it’s going to be.

If we bring thinking brain into the mix, we’ve interrupted what True Self has to say.

Using timed writings, visualizations, surprising prompts and an assortment of writing styles allows us to bypass thinking brain, getting us out of our own way, out from under a lifetime of stories we have been carrying around with us, that we didn’t even know were there.

Having the process be guided enhances your experience because you are not repeatedly asking yourself the same questions. Usually we don’t even know we have these stories and beliefs buried deep within and it takes a SURPRISE prompt to get it out. Asking the same old questions reveals the same old answers. The techniques we use in these guided writing sessions are designed to get you writing something totally new, and this is transformative.
