"Body Writers has given me a path to healing and reconnecting with myself I couldn't have imagined before joining."

It's so soothing to be in the room with everyone, writing and reading and witnessing. Body Writers has given me a path to healing and reconnecting with myself I couldn't have imagined before joining. The love and encouragement of the other writers is extraordinary and Jennifer is the best guide. I don't know what it is about her, but the people she attracts in these circles are the most amazing humans. Healing in this community is so much more powerful than trying to heal alone. This is a space I look forward to so much every week: reconnecting to my body and self, the reclamation of my feelings, experiences and sensations. 

It's nerve-wracking, the idea of sharing deep, emotional, vulnerable writings in community. But I cannot express to you enough how incredibly healing it is to have this space. I've always felt like I could say anything without fear. The healing that comes from that level of validation is rare and special and honestly extraordinary. If you're feeling *at all* called to join, do it! I promise you won't regret it. The writing is incredibly healing every time. I can't really explain how magical Body Writing is because it's the kind of magic you have to feel for yourself to understand, but everyone who has ever joined would agree, I can promise you that.

"Unshaming, blooming and self-blessing have been occurring for me."

My biggest fear before joining was that I was going to be "too much" and feel excluded from the group. Not only was I not excluded, I was actively encouraged by Jennifer and the other circle members. Jennifer is generous with her expertise and feedback; her presence and space-holding create a deeply safe container. If you're looking for a circle that isn't shy of the depths and welcomes authenticity, Body Writers could be for you. If you're looking for a space to deepen into yourself and excavate your voice, this could be for you.

"It has surprised me how much is waiting under the surface to write about."

I love the prompts and the energy of the group. I have been dealing with chronic pain and thought Jennifer's approach could help me. Giving myself this space to write and think and reflect and feel is everything. It has surprised me how much is waiting under the surface to write about. Jennifer is amazing. Her presence and energy are very grounding and uplifting at the same time. I've learned from her as a writer, and a facilitator of writing as well.

"I can feel the iciest places within me beginning to shift."

For much of my life I thought I was empty inside. Body Writers has shown me the opposite is true – there was so much inside that it paralysed me. My nervous system was stuck in freeze. Body Writers has been the sunlight thawing decades of winter. I can feel the iciest places within me beginning to shift

This circle  has given me safety, connection and genuine joy. I love the whole experience. I love the opening of the circle arriving in the body, and the guidelines for writing being read as I settle myself. The anticipation of the week's prompt. But I think my absolute favourite bit is listening to the writing from the rest of the group. It's honestly mind-blowing to witness all the courage, depth, sensitivity and humanity.

Within seconds of my compatibility call I knew I'd be joining Body Writers. I've been around the block and I know when someone's full of shit – Jennifer is not one of those people. She exudes compassion, integrity and authenticity. There was zero sales pitch and zero pressure to sign up. She radiates with warmth and sensitivity and has created a wonderfully safe and encouraging environment for every one of us to shine.

"I find so much healing from the group - from writing and reading, yes, but also from feeling seen, validated and supported by the women in these circles."

"The circles are pure magic. I didn't know how much I needed not only to write, but to be heard and witnessed and seen. It's such a joy, even when it's painful. The paradoxical beauty of these circles is indescribable. I cried during my reading and it was exhausting and powerful and healing. Every single circle is a balm.

I find so much healing from the group - from writing and reading, yes, but also from feeling seen, validated and supported by the women in these circles. You can only experience it to believe it. If you're feeling at all called to join, do it. I promise you won't regret it."

"The prompts have allowed me to process moments in my life."

I look forward to the sacredness of each circle. I love that Body Writers has such a clear structure. I really appreciate the rules that are read at the beginning of each circle, I appreciate the time to reflect both on what it was like to write and then to read out loud. That has helped me connect with what my body is experiencing and give voice to it. The prompts have allowed me to process moments in my life I didn't even realize were in need of that.

I can tell Jennifer is a deep feeler by the way she relates to each piece of writing in such a gentle and kind way. When writers read their work it seems to move through her in a way that lets you know she is very present to it and the person in front of her. She is the kind of leader that knows how to guide the space to be what it needs to be for those in it. Body Writers has been fantastic.

"It has given me support in witnessing my truth."

I enjoy having time to write this way, with a group of women all focused on and dedicated to inner work. I enjoy the vulnerability of the other participants and appreciate Jennifer's gentleness, acceptance and commitment to making a safe space. Body Writers has given me support in witnessing my truth – that alone is worth the price of admission. If you’re feeling dubious about joining, let me strongly encourage you by saying DO IT! Any short term discomfort you may face will be met with Jennifer’s warm, fully accepting approach – not to mention, facing that discomfort while utilizing her process will greatly contribute to your long term well-being. It’s like a $10 investment for a million dollar return.

Is Body Writers for you?

"Beautiful and affirming sessions each week."

I love the care and support from every member in this circle and Jennifer, who leads us in beautiful and affirming sessions each week. I love that I found a space to name my body sensations and become more aware of them, that is completely accepting of me and my words no matter what. I love that I feel more relaxed each week and that my writing is becoming more embodied.

"Body Writers has given me my voice and my power back."

To be connected with myself and others this way is powerful in itself. I enjoy the connections in this circle, the devotion to expression and the belly laughs. I enjoy the hearts, the energetic hugs and all the support. Writing and listening in this circle is medicine, and Jennifer is amazing. She is kind, expressive, honorable and easy to love. Body Writers has so much heart. It has given me my voice and my power back.

"It's magical, healing and fun."

"I was drawn to Body Writing because listening to my body is something I've been trying to do after being disconnected from it post-trauma. I enjoy connecting with other deeply feeling women through our words and sharing them. I have felt such JOY (and I do not use that word lightly) sharing what I've written during circle, knowing the other members hold sacred space whenever I do.

My circle is full of compassionate, passionate women who lift each other up. I wasn't sure what Jennifer would "be" like, but she is a wonderful guide. Her vocal tone is soothing and soul settling for me. She's very intentional with the words she chooses, she is extremely present during circle. Her kindness and vulnerability are a balm. I find it extremely valuable to have this time to write, feel, laugh, cry and connect."
