Do these statements feel familiar?

I want to journal, I just don’t know where to start.

I don’t have time.

I don’t know what to say.

I get bored and lose momentum.

What if someone reads my journal?

I need my writing to be perfect. If it’s not, I don’t do it.

I can’t keep it going consistently.

‘In the journal I do not just express myself more openly than I could to any person; I create myself.’

~ Susan Sontag, Writer

I often hear these words expressed from women who have a desire to journal but they lack the confidence to trust that what they have to say is worth writing about.

What if I could help you experience journaling as one of your most powerful tools for self-connection, confidence, creativity and calm?

Well, that’s exactly what I’m here to do.

Hi, I’m Jenn!

I’ve been writing in a journal since I was a child, although back then it was referred to as your “Dear Diary…”. Thankfully, journaling has evolved since then!

As a creator and facilitator of intentional, expressive journal groups, I am awed by the life-changing discoveries and creative openings that I witness happen for participants.

Some of what you’ll experience as a participant in my custom-designed Journal sessions are:

  • Self-confidence & space to express yourself safely & freely.

  • Inroads to trusting your imagination, wisdom & innate creativity

  • Time to be with yourself that feels replenishing & nourishing, giving you more energy & joy!

  • A sustainable sense of calm throughout your day

  • A practical approach to free yourself from perfectionism

  • A place to problem solve, emotionally regulate and understand yourself from new, empowering perspectives

  • How to feed n’ feel your dreams into real life, here and now!

  • The answers and guidance from inside you versus outside

Beginning and seasoned journallers are welcome!
