Are you ready to experience the benefits of Wellness Writing?

Maybe you are:

sensing low morale among your team
noticing signs of burn-out in the people you work with
spending an increasing amount of money to cover staff illness

My Well-being Writing sessions offer a safe and supportive space for participants to focus on their own mental well-being, express themselves, bond with other team members and have some fun – all at the same time.

Investing in Well-being Writing sessions not only shows your team you care about them: it’s also an opportunity for them to experience the mental health benefits of writing practice – boosting their energy, productivity and health and ultimately saving YOU time, money and stress.

Testimonials

I decided to come to Gen’s Well-being Writing as it seemed an opportunity to do something fun during the dark winter months in Shetland which would be good for my mental wellbeing.

My first impression of Gen was that she was very welcoming, putting everyone at ease, encouraging all attendees and giving constructive advice and support. She also offered a variety of writing tasks which made the classes exciting and challenging.

As a result of coming to these sessions, I met new people and made new friends. I feel more confident in my writing abilities. Overall, I’d describe it as an enlightening experience and a safe space to express yourself creatively.

Having not written anything since leaving school in the mid 1990’s, I went to this class intrigued at how things would take shape. I left having produce a written piece and was amazed at how Gen managed to get me to tap into my imagination using simple techniques, taking me to a place I never thought I could get to.

Gen was warm and welcoming with our group. I think I can safely say that everyone in my working group left the class feeling like they had accomplished something that day. Thank you, Gen.
