'Jane was thoughtful, sensitive, well prepared and responsive - a light touch, encouraging, lots of laughter.'

'It's been a week of trying and the blank page frightens me. I came to the workshop hoping I could get past the blank page and I did. Jane's prompts, and her kind and inspiring instruction have helped me move at least an inch past my fear! Jane was so helpful. I can't explain it but her instruction was not oppressive and I felt like holding onto every word from her. Her voice and demenour were calm and had this element of belief in our ability to write.'

'Excellent workshop. Loved the structure, the pace, the attitude. Very constructive and a warm experience. Thank you.'

'I learned that it's OK to spend time writing about yourself. My life is interesting and I have something to say. Jane gave me the confidence to say it. She's fantastic, a natural tutor. Humourous, sensitive to the needs of participants and sets realistic goals.'

'Jane is obviously a very experienced journal writer and life writer. She treated us kindly and with respect, which I liked.'

'After attending the workshop, I know I can now advance to writing my life story and I am inspired to do so.'
