Your Voice. Your Story.
Welcome to LifeSpeaks Expressive Writing & Poetry Therapy. I’m Jennie Linthorst. I guide each session and workshop to inspire insight, self-awareness, and fresh hope. I listen deeply without judgment and offer a safe space to express yourself. Through guided writing and readings, I offer compassionate coaching as you begin the process of writing your own story. Because when you write, life speaks, and that’s a story worth telling.
I didn’t trust it.
But I drank it anyway
The wine of my own poetry.
It gave me the daring,
To take hold of the darkness
and cut it into pieces.
~Lalla, A Sufi Poet
