Authors' & Writers' Courses

If you're an aspiring writer or lacking the motivation to write creatively, I can help you remove your road blocks and chart a path forward to writing your book

How I work

I facilitate and teach writers’ workshops and retreats both in the US, Canada, and Denmark.

I use my training as a Guided Autobiography Instructor from The Birren Institute in San Diego as the foundation, but I often select just my favorite parts of the program and supplement with other structuring techniques, I have learned over the years. I teach what I find to be most relevant for each specific group of writers. Most of my groups consist of women. They often get in touch with deep, old wounds or feelings that were hidden for years. I go with the flow in the group and intuitively guide them towards release and acceptance.

In my workshops and retreats, I use the many skills I have acquired from my work as a life coach, author, former nurse, and from my MA in Spiritual Psychology. It is so powerful to be able to help my students release and forgive or simply remember old, wonderful, long-forgotten stories from their lives. Often times, the most insignificant stories can make for great chapters or memories in a book. I love it when the students let go, get out of their heads, and start to feel the words in their hearts. That’s when the authentic stories unfold.

It takes a lot of courage to open up about life stories. I keep my groups small (no more than 20 people), and the support that everyone gets is amazing. People listen, lift each other up, and dare to bare it all. Often tears and laughter go hand in hand, and they help form strong bonds and friendships.

I’m a published author myself and know the obstacles that a writer often goes through during the writing process; the challenge it can be to just keep writing!
