"This Salon was truly transformational for me. I loved the way we were introduced to different types of writing and encouraged to try them all. In working through the material, I discovered a love of poetic writing. Writing has now become a regular part of my life. Through my writing, I am learning more about myself and exploring new ideas. Lynda is a very supportive coach, encouraging each of us to go deeper into our writing and trust the process. I highly recommend the Salon."

~  Fiona Lewis, Social Worker

"I release myself from any past mistakes! When I say this I feel a space opening up inside me. I feel lighter. I look forward to filling this airy space with joy and love – not the dread, guilt, shame that used to inhabit this space. What a wonderful feeling! The journal writing I have done in this salon – the weekly exercises, writing prompts and feedback from Lynda – all together helped me see and feel this transformation and I am so grateful."

~ Susan MacLaughlin, Life Coach

"I was in that perfect place to step into change, and this class created a very safe space to begin to explore exactly what I needed. I was a give-go-give junkie, and this journaling made me slow down and think in a profound way. The specific tools gave a structure to journaling that I had not used in a mindful way before. Reflecting really was where I was able to go deep. I will continue to use this and share it with my coaching clients. This is soooooo powerful. Listening to others share and reflect was also very inspiring for me. Thank you for doing what you do in your work and for offering this. It's transformative."

~ Jennifer Wallace, Roots and Wings Life Coaching

"This Writing for Wellness Coaching Circle could not have happened at a better time. The women in our writing circle were who they should have been. Lynda's warm presence sets the environment as one of safety, relaxing and fun. I learned that it doesn't matter what you write about in your journaling practice as long as it comes from the heart. I learned that by being true to who I am – other's see that as well. I learned that the gift of journaling is healing, energizing and brings out our wisdom. I would encourage anyone who has thought about journaling, has left journaling for a time, or would like a new way to journal to participate in this circle. I was sad to see it end and will be signing up for another session in the future."

~ Annette Siewertsen, SeaStar Coaching

"Thank you Lynda for your kind strength, powerful facilitation skills and your lovely supportive way of holding the space for me to explore and create my own wellness in your Writing for Wellness Coaching Circle."

~ Norma McClelland, LifesFinalAffair.com

"My time in the Creative Wellness writing group was very rewarding. It was truly a mini retreat from day to day things that seem to encroach on my time. I was truly committed to receiving the full benefit of Lynda's wisdom and guidance. Several insights and new perspectives came out of my time in the Creative Wellness sessions and I quickly learned, in writing fully from the heart, there is no hiding the truth from myself. That inner voice was eager to be heard. Thanks so much Lynda for all you share with others. The gift of you is much appreciated."

~ Linda Prochaska, Social Worker

"The whole experience has been very valuable for me. I have learned a lot about myself. The writing "lessons" and prompts have been helpful in getting me started on a path I will continue."

~ Carol Dodd

"I came to this course with trepidation. First - me? write my feelings? Not going to happen, and secondly - using the internet for communication was not my strong suit. Then I got into it. As a retired health and community service professional, I was used to dealing with the emotions and struggles of others. I had my time with traditional support systems - and they were useful then - but this self help approach was a novelty.

I quickly learned that with Lynda’s support and the encouragement of my ‘group’ I was able to express my reality and by doing so am feeling much more prepared for my next adventure - retirement. I am able to give myself the courage to discover who I am and I have found I quite like this woman of substance."

~ Dianne Moir RN, MSW

"Rarely have I worked with a coach like Lynda, who put incredible care, love and dedication into the process of creating a sacred, emotionally safe and inspiring space for participants in the "Writing for Wellness" program. I joined the program because I wanted to connect more with myself thru writing and have some accountability and motivation to practice this kind of self-care regularly. I felt seen and heard and incredibly nurtured thru Lynda's feedback and the comments offered from other participants. Thank you Lynda for sharing your gifts."

~ Ina Stockhausen, R.P.C. www.GoddessRevealed.ca

"Lynda, thank you for offering the opportunity to call out our deepest selves and honour them by creating this space to write. I found the writing prompts during the calls as well as the playwork in between, a great way to access the treasure trove of inner wisdom that we all carry. All we have to do is go inwards and ask, and the wisdom runs out onto the page with messages to inspire, reassure and guide us. I particularly liked the wise guide exercise and found it grounded me even after the course was over, because it reminded me that spiritual help is always available to me moment to moment. And lastly Lynda I appreciated the beautiful, nourishing energy you brought to the group, your extensive knowledge and experience in this area of writing for self care, and the encouragement, respect, sensitivity and discernment you showed each of us as we shared our inner selves through writing."

~  Grace Gerry, Counsellor

"Writing for self-care and the Writing for Wellness Coaching Circle is an experience that I will cherish for life. It is a nourishing, uplifting, heart-based program that energized me with the depth of the unique enquiries, structure, fabulous feedback, and beautiful well-researched writing activities. Lynda Monk is a true muse and her conscious, affirming, and healing nature has affected my confidence, creativity and authenticity in such a positive way. One thing I know for sure, is that the value for my money on this course was off the charts! It has inspired me to action and to write to heal myself and the world!"

~ Thea Khama, Coach + Writer, Botswana, South Africa

"This course with Lynda has provided me insight and clarity about my truth. The weekly writing expressions have helped me to develop greater understanding of who I am and how I dance in the world. The intimacy of the coaching circle is vital to the process. The group members each contribute to the learning and the emotion of the group. A truly life affirming experience that has positioned me to embrace and live a fully authentic and robust life. Thank you Lynda."

~ Catherine Simonuvic, Social Worker

“This writing salon has been the best self-guided, one-on-one writing practice I've ever done. I will always appreciate your words of encouragement and coaching. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”

~ Deb Wandler, Social Work Educator

"I so enjoyed this creative writing time with Lynda. What appealed to me was the small group we had, the length of time (6 weeks) of the course. I found it intimate and so worthwhile, a lovely introduction to writing. Thank you Lynda." 

~ Karen Alexander
