You want loving connection with your body.
But what you hold inside makes that feel impossible.
You know that giving your body a voice through writing could bring you that connection...but it doesn't feel safe or particularly rewarding to write that way on your own.
In your heart you long for a writing circle, but probably worry that if you're honest about what you hold, your sensitivity and depth of feeling, you'll be judged as "too much."
That worry makes so much sense. After all, you've never been part of a circle where you could feel seen and safe without having to sugarcoat anything your body wants to say.
You want presence and loving connection with your body, but without the safety of knowing you can write and express yourself honestly, both those things stay out of reach.
I've felt that struggle too.
I always worried that I was too deep-feeling and intense for a writing circle to be able to hold me.
I always held myself back a little, in group settings. But that means my writing never left me feeling fully embodied or connected with myself.
I knew if I didn't create a space where I could feel safe to drop into my body and express myself honestly, that I would continue to crave that connection, with no healing and no empathy for my own experience because that's what holding in silence does to us: it makes us ashamed of what we hold and how we experience.
I'm a writer at heart who lives with complex trauma and a body that can feel really hard to love. It was my own longing for connection, expression and healing that led me to the Body Writers solution.
And so, I created this writing circle that became a healing circle.
Inside an intimate group, I gave myself permission to drop into my body, write what I held and be witnessed by sensitive womxn, and that made all the difference.
After writing in Body Writers for over a year and leading the dozens of womxn who have been helped through this same experience, I know one thing for certain:
Feeling safe to write and express what you hold is what makes it possible to find loving connection with your body, and deep somatic healing too.

Hate those writing circles that promise aaall the depth and healing…Only to underdeliver on the paid side of the fence? Me too.
Body Writers is not that kind of short-change experience. Nor is it a circle where you have to worry about being regarded as "too much" should you reveal your sensitivity and depth of emotion. Body Writers is a guided writing and healing circle you move through with a beautiful group, and you should be prepared for lovely, significant shifts – in how you relate to your body, voice and story.
Life-changing.
"I knew I had found a special online haven from the first minute of joining Body Writers. It felt like coming home. I was made to feel so welcome by Jennifer and the other writers. I love that for 90 minutes a week, I can go to my inner basement, pull out something from the depths and share it with people. Not only share but be encouraged and celebrated for doing so.
Body Writers has permitted me to be myself beyond the masks of everyday life. It has given me safety, connection and genuine joy.
Thank you Jennifer, for creating an authentic, safe space for those of us who feel all the things all the time."
JANE McGEOGHAN
Body Writers is a space where you can feel completely safe to express yourself in whatever way you need.
"I joined Body Writers because I was looking for the opportunity to write regularly and deeply. I was worried that I wouldn't be good enough, but Jennifer helped alleviate that anxiety. I enjoy the unexpected prompts, hearing other's stories and feeling part of something meaningful. Body Writers has given me a sense of community and shared humanity.
I appreciate the way Jennifer brings such gentleness and sensitivity to our space, and holds us all so carefully and lovingly. She provides such a warm, sensitive, safe space for writers to write, share, give and receive feedback, plus she brings awareness to our somatic reactions. The trust she instills invites us to dig deep, share openly, give generously and receive wholeheartedly."
ANNE H.
Body Writers has so much heart. It has given me my voice and my power back.
AMY DALTON
If you're considering joining Body Writers, do it, just trust me.
"Body Writers has given me a path to healing and reconnecting with myself that I couldn't have even imagined before joining. It's so soothing to be in the room with everyone, writing and reading and witnessing. The love and encouragement of the other writers is extraordinary, and Jennifer is the best guide. Not only does she have the experience and training to create a healing, trauma-informed space, but she does the work with us, sharing all of our emotions and all of hers. It's just exquisite.
Body Writers is a space just for me that I look forward to so much every week: reconnecting to my body and self, the reclamation of my feelings, experiences and sensations. I can't really explain how magical Body Writers 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."
SARA FISCHER
Body Writers has given me everything.
"I leave each session with little pieces of light woven into my inner landscape. It's hard to put into words, but it is tangible and unmatched what Body Writers has given me. Jennifer is a beast of badassery and beauty. There is a delicate yet indestructible spirit about her. Her energy feels like home. Everyone leaves better for knowing her and being in her energy."
NIKKI JORGENSEN SHAY
I love the prompts.
"I have been dealing with chronic pain and thought Jennifer's approach could help me. I love the energy of the group. 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. And 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."
STEPHANIE AFFINITO
I love 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). And Jennifer is a beautiful space-holder. Not only knowledgeable and humble but also professional and helpful. It's a gorgeous blend to have both sides in a guide."

I’m Ready, Let’s BeginWho will be leading you?
I’m glad you asked.
I'm Jennifer - Certified Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy Coach, Somatic Writing Coach and highly sensitive INFJ empath.
I've been helping deeply sensitive womxn resolve somatic trauma and come home to their bodies by writing what their bodies hold since 2019.
I am a life-long writer, covert narcissistic abuse and cptsd survivor, and lived with chronic conditions for most of my life before learning to write my way into peace and presence with my body.
My work as a Somatic Coach centers self-exploratory writing that gives honest voice to what your body holds. I have a gift for helping sensitive womxn explore and express their deepest feelings.
Inside Body Writers, I'll help you give your body a voice so you can heal your relationship with it and the stories and emotions it holds through a beautiful creative experience.
Remember:
Circles are safe and supportive. You never have to worry about your depth or writing being judged here.
Let's start your journey for loving connection with your body that will stay.
You’re speaking to my soul →
It's magical, healing and fun!
"Listening to my body is something I've been trying to do after being disconnected post-trauma. I wasn't sure what the other participants would be like, but my circle is full of compassionate, passionate women who lift each other up. I also wasn't sure what Jennifer would "be" like, but she is a wonderful guide. Her kindness and vulnerability is a balm.
I find it extremely valuable to get time each week to write, feel, laugh and cry. I have felt such JOY sharing what I write inside this circle, and I do not use that word lightly."
KELLY C.
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 - that paradoxical beauty 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, supported and loved by the people 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."
SARA FISCHER
I have gained – am gaining – confidence in myself and my abilities as a writer.
"Reading what I write, especially on a virtual platform, made me feel anxious, but joining such a compassionate, accepting group was so healing. I enjoyed learning that I could tap into deep feelings and be able to process them without feeling like they were overwhelming me.
I'm so grateful for this space. Body Writers has taught me about myself and the strength that I have to tolerate feelings that I was certain would destroy me. In just 12 weeks, I have been able to go to a depth in my life that I never expected. I feel like I was hidden from myself and through this somatic writing, have been able to turn on a light."
M.J.
I am finally finding some peace.
"As a survivor of childhood trauma, I have suffered my whole life from anxiety, depression, hyper-vigilance and a dysregulated nervous system. I have actively sought healing and relief in many different modalities, but Body Writers is proving to be the most effective.
Jennifer provides a safe and empathic space and process for us to explore our dark places and hold them up to the light in a circle of supportive and compassionate witnesses to release their grip on our bodies. Following her example, our fellow writers not only accept what we have to share, but honor and celebrate it with us.
As a result of Body Writers, I find myself feeling lighter, calmer, less reactive. I am finally finding some peace."
ANNE H.
I felt truly seen and heard.
"Before joining Body Writers, I was searching for a lifeline. I needed connection. I needed to be seen and felt. 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. I especially enjoy having parts of my writing mirrored back to me, as this brings more safety into my life to embody what I'm feeling.
Jennifer is generous with her expertise and feedback; her presence and space-holding create a safe container. If you're looking for a circle that isn't shy of the depths and realities of real, lived human experience and a space that welcomes non-performative authenticity, then Body Writers could be for you. If you're looking for a space to deepen into yourself, to excavate your own voice that's been buried under layers of pain from a lifetime of shame and rejection, then Body Writers could be for you."
KORYN LLOYD
Body Writers has been the sunlight thawing decades of winter.
"For much of my life I thought I had nothing to say and nothing to give. Body Writers taught me that the opposite is true: that there was so much inside, it had paralyzed me. My nervous system was stuck in freeze and shutdown. Body Writers has been the sunlight thawing decades of winter. I can feel the iciest places in me beginning to shift.
If you're a highly sensitive soul, existing in this world can sometimes feel lonely and difficult. If the real world is a Big Mac eaten from your lap while driving, Body Writers is a food-laden table surrounded by friends on a warm summer night."
JANE McGEOGHAN
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.
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."
JESSICA
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! It's like a $10 investment for a million dollar return."
