You want loving connection with your body.
But inside, much feels brittle.
You know that giving your body a voice will help heal what you hold...but it doesn't feel safe or rewarding to write that way on your own.
You want a writing community, but probably worry that should you be honest about what your body holds, you'll be judged as "too much."
That worry makes so much sense. After all, you’ve never been part of a group where you could feel safe and understood without having to sugarcoat your depth of feeling.
You long for loving connection with your body and self, but without the safety of knowing you can express as your honest, emotional, sensitive, deep-feeling self, that love stays out of reach.
I've felt that frustration too.
I always worried that I was too intense, too sensitive and too emotional for a writing circle to be able to hold me.
After years of inner work left me feeling creatively barren, I started wanting to write so I could heal my relationship with my body and the stories it held.
I wanted to enjoy the writing and feel creative, but didn't know how to do that while still being honest about what I held.
And I longed to feel seen.
I knew if I didn't give my body honest voice that I would keep feeling barren, because that's what trauma and repression do to us: they robs us of our creative softness. They leave us disconnected from our bodies and selves and brittle.
I live with complex trauma and an often overwrought, highly sensitized nervous system. It was my own longing for body, writing, healing and magic that led me to create Body Writers.
Body Writers is an intimate writing circle where you'll be guided to drop into your body and write what your body holds.
Each session begins with a somatic drop-in and read aloud of our Rules for Writing - easy to follow guidelines so you'll feel comfortable writing from your body.
We do a timed write to an evocative prompt taken from a song lyric, after which you'll have the opportunity to share your writing aloud.
You are never required to share your writing, although doing so is part of our process and powerful. It's medicinal (and addictive) and brings somatic, beautiful shifts inside you that you'll be able to feel.

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.
Thank you Jennifer, for creating an authentic, safe space for those of us who feel all the things all the time."
JANE McGEOGHAN
If you're considering joining Body Writers, do it, just trust me.
"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.
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 is a space where you can feel completely safe to express yourself in whatever way you need.
"Jennifer 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
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
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. 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."
JENNA H.
Body Writers is a writing circle unlike any other.
Prepare to be guided through somatic writing, somatic check ins and powerful expression of your voice while being celebrated for the deep-feeler you are.
While trauma-informed, Body Writers is intended only for sensitive womxn ready to drop into their bodies and write what they find. Reading your writing aloud is always about expression, not perfection, so you never have to worry about you or your writing being judged. I know that's not easy but we (the group and me as your guide) have really and truly got you.

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 cultivate a loving relationship with it, the stories it holds and with yourself.
Remember:
Circles are safe, supportive and inclusive. You never have to worry about your sensitivity, depth of feeling or writing being judged here.
Let's start your journey for body connection, compassion and writing to heal.
You’re speaking to my soul →
I've 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.
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.
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 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, to feel, laugh and cry. I have felt such JOY (and I do not use that word lightly) inside this circle."
KELLY C.
Body Writers has given me support in witnessing my truth.
"That alone is worth the price of admission. Body Writers is beautiful. If you're feeling dubious about joining, let me strongly encourage you by saying DO IT! Any discomfort you face will be met with Jennifer's warm, fully accepting approach. Not to mention, facing that discomfort while utilizing her process will greatly contribute to your long-term wellbeing. It's like a $10 investment for a million dollar return."
ALANA TYSON
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 felt truly seen and heard.
"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
We laugh, we cry, we write.
CORDERO B.
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."
