“I write entirely to find out what I am thinking.”
Joan Didion
Let’s Write
Releasing thoughts onto the page sheds light on the ideas you hold tight, and brings healing to your burdens.
WRITING TOGETHER opens our collective eyes and hearts.
I create the time and space where you show-up to write, not just promise yourself you will!
You tune into a restful state and write from your embodied centre.
You listen within and write from that voice inside as you see it pour onto the page.
Your voice carries wisdom for you, is valuable to others and needed in the world.
“Your event was HUGE for me! I wrote a poem - the last time that happened I was a teenager and it was under duress. And, there was so much learning for me and many reminders - all coming at me in a gentle way.”
Personalised for you
Try a personal session with me where I encourage your writing and listen to your creations in private.
Perfect for you if:
the call to write is strong, but you feel caught in ‘procrastination’ (which might not be what you think!)
you are starting to discover your voice and want encouragement, but sharing feels scary.
you are writing memoir material and want an objective eye and encouragement.
you need a personal bio or copy for your website and would like my eyes and heart on who you are.
you wonder what is next; where should you share?

A weekly or monthly container gives you the space and time for digging deeper to express more of your thoughts, expand your self-awareness of the creativity that ennobles living your life in YOUR way. Relaxation into self, presence in your body, makes writing a magical, powerful tool for self-exploration and individuation.
Shared with others
Bring your group to me and let’s dig in. You might be:
grieving together and finding relief in voicing
parents making space for your own artistic creation - or just keeping yourselves from losing your minds!
a breast cancer group feeling the need to express your pain or fears
a creative writing group
a special interest community
sisters wanting to gather and write
friends wanting a day of retreat
published writers who want to let go of being ‘writerly’.
Whatever your group, this can be designed to meet specific desires and needs.

A group session every week/month encourages you to persist in the writing habit, makes you accountable as you see your productivity increase and your enjoyment spike. Before you know it, you are a regular writer and experiencing the joys of sharing that with others.
In-Person Opportunities
In-person gatherings are regularly offered a day after live performances of my monologue, Breastless. This allows you to immerse yourself in the intention of the room and explore your thoughts in response to writing prompts, poetry, the sharing from others and feelings of creative joy. These tend to be focused on breast cancer experiences and mastectomy recovery for both those diagnosed and also the carers. The package of performance and writing gatherings can be great opportunities for fundraisers for breast cancer groups or used during conferences.
Connect to yourself.
Find liberation from old rules and the old script; they were never yours to follow.
Embrace your power boldly and bravely.
What you have always known deep inside can now guide you forward in your life.
“These sessions are always inspiring and motivating”.
Monthly Drop-in Writing Session - Let’s Write Together!
We start with a brief centring, embodiment meditation. I will read a poem to set the mood and offer a prompt before we write for 20 mins.
When we return to the Zoom screen we share reflections, our writing or our listening ear to celebrate each other’s words and captures. Expect the magic of creativity flowing and human hearts attuning.
My hope is that together we can bring light to our stories, love to our humanity — our similarities and our differences — and to the scars that inevitably come with life. Much can be mined from our losses, disappointments, plot-twists.
Some of you are seasoned writers, some of you journal for your eyes only, and some I know are keen to share what is pouring out of you like heated gold.
Relaxation into self, with bodily presence, makes writing a magical, powerful tool for self-exploration and individuation.
I want that for all of us!
Session Fee: $15.00 CAD

A story shared is a powerful force. Perhaps the ONLY force that can truly change our world; our inner and our outer experience. I believe we can heal our experience of community as we share our creative ideas, our experiences and our desires for our future. As we enter, via story, into an embrace larger than we think is humanly possible.
These are monthly drop-in sessions where we gather for one hour. Come with your chosen writing materials and a willingness to immerse and connect in our Zoom space. No pressure. Just a chance for some writing and sharing.
This is an opportunity to listen and learn: first and foremost to yourself. Then to one another.
