Writing as Healing Practice.
Created by psychotherapist and writer Stacy Kirkbride, our courses are designed to make self-care and journaling for mental well-being accessible, adaptable, and deeply supportive—especially for those living with chronic pain and chronic illness. With no time constraints, our self-paced modules blend informative content, guided audio practices, worksheets, and reflective prompts, making it easy to fit into your life—no matter your energy levels or schedule.
Writing and journaling have long been valuable therapeutic tools, with research showing benefits not only for mental health but also for physical well-being, such as improved immune function. However, the approach to writing matters; how we choose words and frame our thoughts can transform simple venting into a powerful healing practice. Our courses are designed to help you tap into this potential, emphasizing techniques that foster meaning-making, mindfulness, and balanced emotional exploration.
Designed for your schedule.
