YOUR STORY IS WELCOME HERE

              (In my happy place...)      

IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU!

Hi there, I'm Nicole.  I'm a passionate Writer, Coach, Adult Educator and Journal Creator for Journal Junky®.  Journaling has had a huge impact on my life, and has promoted insight, healing, personal and professional growth.  My mission is to inspire other women to transform their lives through the Intentional Journaling Practice so that they can effectively navigate transition, live the best version of their lives, and serve the ones they love and care for.

I live with my husband and two boy-folk in beautiful Asheville, NC where I wander the gardens of the local arboretum and write in newly discovered coffee shops.

I'm the author of multiple journals, most recently The Space Between: Writing Through Transition. You can read more of my story through my posts on Instagram.

I also host The Journal Coaching Podcast.

 "When we honor our writing practices, we honor our voices by giving ourselves permission to speak from the heart, to question ourselves, to find our answers and to become vulnerable enough to walk ourselves home."

EXPERIENCE

For the past 20 years, I've facilitated writing retreats and workshops locally and virtually.  I'm passionate about teaching women and building community and interest around transformative journaling.

I enjoy hosting small group and team building workshops that help cultivate mindfulness, intentional communication, courage, self-awareness, creativity, and storytelling in and out of the workplace.
