“Rebecca is an authentic and intuitive writer who guides her students into a better understanding of themselves and how to express who they truly are. This workshop did not disappoint. Each session allowed plenty of time to share personal work, receive constructive feedback and further explore different genres of writing. She challenged us to be our best selves. If you're looking for a unique experience to dig deeper into yourself and discover what kind of writer you are, this is the workshop for you.”

“I just finished a Word Wellness workshop with Rebecca, and oh my goodness! I knew she was a gem, brilliant and kind, per her other jobs, but she’s a magnificent teacher, too. The participants couldn’t have been more diverse, yet she found a way to turn us all into writers, and poets, too!

“Rebecca ‘s writing workshops provide the space and the support to discover that you can express yourself through writing.   You find yourself trying new forms without fear.  Her exercises, prompts and particularly her guidance create a setting that is safe and that encourages your creative self to shine through. We highly recommend any opportunity to learn from her.”

“I had the privilege of taking the Express Yourself workshop, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to writer's and non-writers!  This was the first time I had taken any kind of writing course since high school (a true writing class virgin!). And I was a bit unsure of what to expect. Would the Zoom atmosphere work for me? Would I fit in with the group? Have I retained enough academic knowledge to not look foolish? Mindfulness, how will that work? Well, by the end of our first class, I felt reassured.  Rebecca has a gift for making people feel heard. Without giving away any secrets,  I finished the class with new friendships, new confidence in writing and a new love of poetry.“

“My book was going nowhere. I’d sat on a single plot point for seven years and just could not get past it. After starting coaching sessions with Rebecca I noticed a change immediately. By teaching me how to manage my time better and set realistic daily expectations, Rebecca actually got me past that plot point and gave me the tools I needed to stay on task despite daily fatigue and distractions. With her help, I remembered why I love writing and have a system in place that will take me to the conclusion of my first book and beyond.

“I attended Rebecca’s workshop and it was an amazing experience. It was the first creative writing workshop that I ever attended, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. From the very beginning I found everyone to be so kind and welcoming. Rebecca is an excellent instructor and a very talented writer. I learned so much, both about writing and about myself as a potential writer. Rebecca really encouraged us to come out of our comfort zones and to find our creativity from within. I found the class to be both educational and very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone interested in creative writing.”

— Leslie Peters, Express Yourself participant

“When I took Rebecca’s workshop, I didn’t know what to expect, but I wanted to improve my writing. I really enjoyed the experience and it pushed me to do things I wouldn’t have done on my own, like writing haikus and other poetry. Since taking the workshop I have started writing in a journal on a daily basis, which is something that I struggled with prior to the workshop. I have a writing project underway and I now feel more confident and inspired to continue with it. I also found the workshop to be excellent therapy and other participants made the same comment. Rebecca was a wonderful facilitator and made the workshop a safe space for us all to express ourselves. If you are looking to improve your self-expression, take Rebecca’s workshop.”
