I have been writing since I was about seven, mainly poetry, journals and short stories. I was terrified of reading out loud in school, but loved being a book-a-holic and writing.

Over the years I’ve learnt that, for me, my best writing comes from connecting with experience and allowing that to find it’s way onto paper.

I’ve had three different careers, which have been diverse and challenging and I am a mother, of twenty years, which has probably taught me more about life and myself than any other experience I’ve had.

My most recent career, before becoming a creative writing for wellbeing practitioner, was that of being a counsellor for over twenty years, which was a great privilege and a huge education. Writing has helped me to manage my emotions and come out the other side of those interesting times that we all go through.

I am also passionate about living my truth, the truth that comes from the viscera and source.

I am loving this writing workshop with Jacqui and other lovely ladies. 2 hours of self care time for ME to explore the \my senses and use them as creative platform for writing. Jacqui is a sensitive compassionate facilitator of our group and her workshops are very inspiring .Thank you Jacqui

relaxing, thought provoking, giving new perspective on things. I did the winter writing course, I used to hate winter because to me it felt like endings and darkness. Now I see it as a time of rest and nurturing. Nature working hard behind the scenes to bring us spring. still so much life and colour in nature that I now appreciate this season so much more. All credit to Jacqui and her skill in bringing her knowledge and light to the courses she runs. I Will soon be attending my third. if you think creative writing isn't for you. Give it a go. You don't need to be an author just you bringing yourself and being open what it can offer. you won't regret it.

2 hours of pure bliss. I feel more grounded and clear on what I want. I feel lighter too. Jacqui has skillfully achieved the challenge of allowing me to be who I am, with her amazing listening techniques and creative methodology. Thank you and looking forward to many more sessions.
