I love people’s stories and I believe in the healing power of giving yourself permission to share them, as you are the only one that can do them justice. Being a holistic practitioner has just increased my desire to use and recognize artistic expression as an instrumental healing tool in my life. 

As a Narrative Healing Coach I use my skills as a holistic healer and my experience with creative expression to facilitate creative writing as a healing journey in a safe, queer positive, pro-feminist, supportive environment. Using healing tools, simple energy work, guided mediation, creative prompts and writing exercises I foster healing expression in a peer support environment or in one-on-one sessions.

Personal Experience with Narrative Healing

As a writer, Reiki Master and Registered Reflexologist I have processed 26 years of chronic illness and the loss of a parent and spouse at a young age, only to emerge a happier, healthier and stronger version of myself. Giving yourself permission to write about your own life is powerful. Especially when you are coming to terms with health issues. I believe it is better when you don’t have to do it alone! Working with a peer group who can witness and support your journey, can also make it safer to be brave and enjoy the process, especially if you are new to creative writing. All that matters is that you are present with a journal, and an intention to be non-judgmental with yourself and your peers.

What I Am Not

Narrative Healing is not therapy and I am not a therapist, I am a Holistic Practitioner facilitating a healing environment for creativity and peer support. If you are undergoing treatment by a physician or therapist do not discontinue it as your work with them will support you. If you want to receive Holistic treatments from myself at a discounted price this is available.
