ABOUT POETRY HEALTH COACH
Why I Do What I Do
Life has taught me that every person has a story, and sometimes the weight of that story can be heavy. Careers, family, illness, loss, financial pressures, and the expectations we place on ourselves—or that others place on us—can sometimes leave us feeling disconnected from who we really are. As a wife, mother and for many years being in a high pressured sales & partnerships role, I know exactly how that feels.
Throughout my life I have experienced great challenges, and poetry is the place where I reflect and express what is difficult to say aloud. It has helped me find perspective, build resilience and thrive under stress.
Today, after performing internationally and delivering poetry-based wellbeing workshops in a wide variety of settings, I help individuals, organisations and communities use poetry as a creative tool for reflection, self-expression and wellbeing. My workshops are enjoyable, thought-provoking and accessible.
You don't need to be a poet or have any writing experience—just to be human. They simply provide time and space to pause, reflect, have fun, reconnect with yourself and discover that your voice matters.
I am delighted to welcome you on that journey. Jessica
