Having supported clients and loved ones through cancer diagnoses, I have witnessed how creative writing can transform vulnerability into a source of agency, meaning and clarity. This experience has affirmed my commitment to using creative writing as a vital healing practice for those navigating the complexities of illness.

JOURNALING
For people living with cancer, creative and expressive writing is a profound form of self-care offering a gentle way to navigate and express complicated and stressful thoughts and feelings.  Journaling is a gentle act of storytelling, a quiet space where one can write to find meaning in the midst of the unpredictability of life. Research shows that expressive writing can improve emotional and physical wellbeing. Putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) can help you navigate your journey, find meaning and clarity, while nurturing your resilience.
