“Heather is skilled at creating a space for connection, creativity, insight and fun.”
“…well thought out and interesting exercises and prompts”
“The best thing was seeing creativity in us all and finding ways to access it. “
“Heather has confidently guided us on a writing journey of exploration and provided a safe space for us to share our findings. I cherish this time I have carved out for myself.”
“Heather’s relaxed and gentle facilitation of the group encourages all to share something during the session which feels very inclusive.”
“… allowed my mind to open the door to my imagination, without any restrictions, criticism or expectations.”
“For the first time in my life, I have sat down and written without awaiting a result, or grade being awarded to my writing. This is a bit of a revelation to me, but also a relief and great experience, which has really opened my eyes. So, thank you for this opportunity.”
