Where writing is good for the soul.
I help you navigate life’s challenges through intuitive writing
& storytelling that brings comfort & healing.
Once upon a time …there was you.
Welcome ….
It all begins with an idea.
Maybe you are feeling a little lost. Perhaps you feel something is missing.
Perhaps you are seeking a deeper understanding of yourself.
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story can make all the difference.
“I am a conscious ‘intuitive’ writer with core principles that guide my writing practice as a ‘lighthouse’ guiding lost souls to safety”
Writing for me is an outlet.
Always a safe space to acknowledge my path, my pain, my victories, my failures, and my fears. It is, I believe where the presence can meet me (as is) and encourage me to…..Listen. Lay it all out. See what’s there.
Acknowledge it (openly and honestly). with self-compassion.
I stalk my fascinations unapologetically allowing them to become my writing
Then I share for the greater good.
I share my writing to heal (both me) and the lonely, the lost, the disillusioned, the hurt, the unseen and the unheard.
My therapeutic writing practices can support you in transforming difficult experiences and can help you to feel more peaceful, inspired, nourished, and connected with the beauty of life that surrounds you.
“You will always feel a little lost right before you find yourself again.”
Guided Therapeutic Writing about yourself may inform you … almost like a map with landmarks which show you how you feel and what you need to do about it.
It can be cathartic – releasing all the pain you held within, that swirled around inside your head and from which there seemed to be no escape. On paper it is captured – you don’t have to think about it any more.
In writing there’s a power that is all yours. You can create whatever you wish; achieve your heart’s desire; fulfil every ambition through your characters; use your imagination; flex and stretch it; give it exercise. It is boundless. Nothing is impossible with your pen.
Who am I?
Up until 18 months ago, I was the Founder / CEO of My Sisters’ House Women’s Centre (In West Sussex). I have worked in the women’s sector for some thirty years in various leadership roles in the Voluntary Community Sector. I remain passionate & experienced in helping women in need.
During the lockdown in 2020, I sat down and wrote the journey ‘My Sisters’ House - From Kitchen Table to Women’s Centre’ in just 12 weeks. The process of writing the book was so cathartic on many fronts. I shared my soul in that book. I secured a sponsorship to publish the book, and it has sold over 1,000 copies raising funds for the women’s centre.
Space is medicine
My writing for well-being workshops provide
you with the space to think about you.
Let yourself be surprised by your
creativity and you soul talking through words.
I believe I have left a legacy - I am so proud and humbled to have saved/changed so many lives over the years - they will always be with me. The impact & three million pound I raised was recognized when I was awarded:
Women of the Year – The Barclays Woman in the Community Award on 10th November 2020.
Dame Julie Walters DBE (our Patron at the time & my special friend) wrote the forward and quoted:
“Beautiful. So brave & wise, ultimately uplifting, even if it did make me cry several times.”
“
In October 21, I qualified as a Coach (ACC ). I have been on such a life journey, including a life-changing life move to the country, in South West Wales, to achieve a work-life balance that allowed me to return to writing. I realized I had such a creative writing flair and that has driven me to combine all my skills to coach & guide using writing., and write more books.
Finally, in Oct 22, I started my MA in Creative Writing with Well-being - the perfect MA to combine my passions. So many times, I have been described as a lighthouse. I am pleased to be light-housing. So if you are floundering, not knowing perhaps who you are or what you want in life and you are looking for a safe route to shore & safety I would love to support you.
In this writing space, I can BE your lamp, lifeboat, or ladder (whatever you need).
I’m here sharing my luminosa as the light to guide your way.
