"Reading & writing are more than just pastimes; they're portals. Not just words strung together, but a place to see yourself more clearly. A way to turn pain into meaning and wounds into wisdom. This is not just something we do; it's something that does something to us. I guess you could say it's heart work, soul work, which actually is the real work of our lives."

From My Heart to Yours

Hello from my home in Lake Macquarie, Australia. 

For as long as I can remember, writing has been my way through—the place where I’ve untangled grief, found my way back to myself, and made sense of life’s twists and turns. It has been both refuge and revelation, a steady light in dark seasons. That’s why I do what I do.

I guide others in using writing as a tool to heal, grow, and rediscover their creativity—not as a rigid practice, but as an open invitation to explore what’s within. My books and journals are born from this belief: that through words, we find meaning, we mend what’s broken, and we step into who we are becoming.

As a certified therapeutic writing coach, I help people express what feels too tangled to say aloud, turning thoughts into clarity and pain into transformation. I believe deeply in authenticity, creativity, and freedom—values that shape not just my work but my life as a woman, wife, and mother.

I blog because words connect us. They create spaces where we feel seen, where new ideas spark, where honesty meets inspiration. My blog is where I share what I’m learning—about creativity, journaling, healing, and the lessons life keeps offering, even when I least expect them. Every post is an invitation to reflect, to grow, to see your own story with fresh eyes.

And if you ever need a gentle reminder to pause and breathe, I send LOVE-Mail—a monthly letter filled with warmth, encouragement, and thoughtful journal prompts designed to nourish your soul.

Lauren’s leadership as a writing coach through her online offerings, poetry, blog, and in-person retreats has been both inspiring and transformative. Her thoughtful guidance and welcoming presence created a life-giving workshop that fostered connection, creativity, and personal growth. Even as non-writers, we found freedom and insight through her process, and I continue to explore and recommend her work in both my personal and professional life.
