Body Writers Somatic Writing Circle
It can feel daunting to connect with your body and heal what it holds. So let's start by giving your body a voice and in so doing, rekindle your creative spirit inside this weekly circle.
In this circle, you'll write what your body holds.
You'll be invited to turn inward and put pen across page, writing to prompts taken from song lyrics.
It's healing and deliciously self-connective, I promise.
We begin each circle with a read aloud of our Rules for Writing - easy to follow guidelines so you'll know how to access and write what your body longs to say.
Then we'll do a timed write, after which you have the opportunity to share about your experience and read your words aloud.
Note: You are never required to share your writing, although doing so is powerful. It's medicinal (and addictive) and brings deep beautiful shifts inside you that you will be able to feel.
THROUGH OUR WEEKLY CIRCLES, YOU'LL FEEL:
- Release of what you've been holding (somatic softening)
- Lightness and healing that come from liberating your voice
- Gentle processing of emotions
- Self-connection and a feeling of worthiness
- A rekindling of your writer spark

You long to give your body a voice.
You want to feel love and connection with your body and you want to find them through a writing practice.
It feels like something that can bring you joy and deep healing. In fact you know it can. You used to write a lot, before things happened. Now...
- You don't know how to get back to your creative self
- You wonder if your voice is worth anything, and it all feels very outside of you
- Connecting with your body feels intimidating as hell. You want to, but you're scared to voice what it holds
- You need some inspiration. You don't know how to make your writing practice feel productive and joyful
- You want a writing community but you're sensitive and feel things deeply; you're not comfortable just anywhere
So you keep putting it off. And keep feeling disconnected from your creative body.
Because in your heart you're a writer. Your experience lives in your body and not writing it keeps you separate from yourself.
It keeps eating at you, making you feel apart from yourself, likely making any conditions you live with worse because highly sensitive bodies don't hold trapped emotions / unexpressed feelings very well without consequences. You just keep longing to drop in and express what you hold.
To connect with yourself by moving your pen across your page.
I want you to know there's a safe space for you to do this.
Join me in Body Writers and let's bring you into the soft animal of your expressed body together.
During our 12 weeks together, you will:
- Feel seen, held, supported and celebrated in our intimate community
- Find and be able to express your body's voice
- Write week to week, and be inspired to write more
- Release a lot of trapped energy that's been weighing you down
- Cultivate deep, enduring connection with your body
"Body Writers has so much heart. It has given me my voice and my power back." Amy Dalton
"Now this is what a writing circle should feel like! I love the prompts. Giving myself space that is just for me to write and think and reflect and feel is everything. Jennifer is amazing. Her presence and energy are grounding and uplifting at the same time." Stephanie A.
"Listening to my body is something I've been trying to do after being disconnected post-trauma. I wasn't sure what Jennifer would 'be' like, but she is a wonderful guide; her kindness is a balm. I find it extremely valuable to get time each week to write, and to feel, laugh and cry. I have felt such JOY (and I do not use that word lightly) during this circle. It's magical, healing and fun! Kelly C.
"I love that Body Writers has such a clear structure. I really appreciate the rules that are read at the beginning of each circle, the time to reflect on what it was like to write then to read aloud. It has helped me connect with what my body is experiencing and give voice to it. I really look forward to the sacredness of each circle. I can tell Jennifer is a deep feeler by the way she relates to each piece of writing. She is very present to it and the person in front of her. Body Writers has been fantastic." Jessica
"I don't know what it is about Jennifer, but the people she attracts into these groups are just amazing. Everyone is so welcoming and supportive and we truly love each other. The writing and reading is incredibly healing, every time. I always say it's like group therapy that actually works! Truly magic. I can't say it enough." Sara F.
Hi there.
I'm Jennifer. I'm an author, writer and Certified Somatic Writing Coach. I help sensitive womxn resolve somatic trauma and come home to their bodies by writing what their bodies hold.
I'm sensitive, intense and passionate about honoring what our bodies have been through and what they hold. I know that writing our stories and feeling our feelings is what makes it possible to live peacefully and lovingly in our bodies.
My work weaves together self-exploration, writing and giving your body a voice, and I have a gift for giving prompts that guide you into the writing that will make the difference for you.
Let's give your body a voice and help you find your healing creative spark.
Join me inside Body Writers. It's powerful, rich, inspiring and safe, I promise. 💗
"I like that the topics/lyrics are thought-provoking in a way that peels back the layers to vulnerability, and being able to release to others in a safe space. I look forward to knowing that for an hour I get to be creative and listen to creativity. I am incredibly grateful for what doors Body Writers is slowly opening. I truly appreciate how encouraging and supportive Jennifer is." Liz S.
"All is welcome in Body Writers. Being in community with people sharing their absolute truth is an honour and a privilege. I highly value the level of trust that we share. Body Writers has by far exceeded my expectations. It has given me confidence in my voice, a feeling of belonging, and a feeling of safety. My face lights us if a friend asks me if I'm still in my writing group. That's what Body Writers does for me, it lights me up. From someone who's spent a lot of time in the dark, that really is an incredible achievement." Jane M.
"I like that the circle is small and safe. It's energizing and sensitive. Open and supportive. It's one thing for me to write, another to write and also read in front of a group of strangers. It takes the entire process in a new direction emotionally and physically (somatic). Being heard and seen makes me feel like I am more than just someone who writes - I am a writer. Jennifer is a beautiful space holder. Not only knowledgeable and humble but professional and helpful. It's a gorgeous blend to have both sides in a guide." Jenna H.
"We laugh, we cry, we write!" Cordero B.
"Body Writers has given me support in witnessing my truth; that alone is worth the price of admission. I've enjoyed Jennifer immensely - the way she shows up in certainty of her process is lovely to rest in. It's like aaaahhhh. Body Writers is beautiful. If you're feeling dubious about joining, let me strongly encourage you to do it. It's like a $10 investment for a million dollar return." Alana
