Description
Your stories matter. Your voice matters. Your healing matters.
Write Your Way to Healing and Self-Discovery is a step-by-step journey through the emotional, creative, and transformative process of life writing.
Whether you're new to writing or returning after a period of absence, this course offers a safe, nurturing space to explore your memories, reclaim your voice, and create meaning from your lived experiences.
You’ll be guided through reflective lessons, soulful prompts, and grounding rituals that support emotional resilience, personal growth, and inner clarity. This is writing to come home to yourself.
This course is for anyone who feels a deep pull to heal but finds it difficult to write about uncomfortable or tender life experiences.
What You’ll Learn
How to use life writing as a tool for healing, self-discovery, and emotional integration
Ways to access memories safely and write without retraumatising yourself
How to craft small, powerful stories (vignettes) that carry emotional truth
Rituals and practices that support creative flow, nervous system regulation, and wellbeing
How to discern which stories are ready to be shared—and which are sacred and just for you
How to build a sustainable writing practice that honours your emotional rhythm and personal journey
Whether you’ve never written a word or you’ve been journaling for years, you’ll be supported to:
Gently unlock memories
Express what’s been held inside
Weave meaning from your story
Write as a sacred act of self-trust and self-return
Writing becomes your companion for healing. A mirror for growth. A map back to the self you’ve been longing to rediscover.
What You’ll Need
No writing experience required - just an open heart and a curious mind
A notebook, journal, or computer
A quiet space where you can be with yourself
A willingness to meet yourself with honesty and compassion
This is not about perfect grammar or publishing dreams.
This is about you, your truth, your healing, and the courage to put it on the page.
Who this course is for:
- Someone who is drawn to writing or journaling as a personal growth tool
- Someone who wants to write for healing and not necessarily for publishing
- Someone who is curious about how life writing can help them process their experiences
Instructor
Hi, I’m Dale – Writing Coach. Unapologetically weird, wonderful and wise.
I'm a writing coach (yeah, that simple) who specialises in helping healers (we are all healers in some way) turn their stories of transformation into healing books - because the world needs more evidence that change is possible.
I discovered early on that writing was healing, cathartic and medicine for the soul. It has helped me through a lot of chaos, including childhood sexual abuse, grooming, an alcoholic father I adored, a world of conflict at home, decades of narcissistic relationships, and multiple health crises, including spinal fractures and MGUS.
I've written books I'll never publish because they served their purpose - healing me. But I've also learned to recognise when a story is meant to be shared as medicine for others walking similar paths.
I'm weird in the best possible way (I really am). I believe in sharing authentically while keeping some things sacred. Not everything needs to be public, but some stories are too important to stay hidden.
My approach tackles the fears that keep powerful stories locked away:
• "I can't write" (spoiler: you already tell stories—I help you capture them)
• Imposter syndrome (your survival IS your qualification)
• Fear of judgment (your authenticity gives others permission to be real)
• Not knowing where to start (I guide you from messy truth to polished manuscript)
I truly believe in the power of your story, creating a space for others to heal and for you to share your wisdom and professional expertise. Your wounds aren't weaknesses – you will have grown through the pain. I mean, look at you and all that you have achieved.
The healers and guides who've been through the fire have the most important stories to tell. I want to help you tell them beautifully, so that you are proud to be you and proud of the book in your hand. Your book will change how people see you and how you feel on the inside.

A Little About Me
In my free time, I’m an avid reader, a deep thinker, and an explorer of all things soulful and strategic. I love long walks with my furries, deep conversations over cake, and a good laugh (despite my dad’s lifelong disapproval of my quirky humour).
I believe learning never stops and reinvention is always possible—no matter where you are in life. If you’re ready to step into your next chapter, I’d love to help guide you.
