“The best thing I did for myself during the pandemic was to sign-up for one-on-one poetry therapy with Jennie Linthorst! Jennie was a calm and supportive guide during a time of confusion and trauma. Using the lens of poetry helped me to focus on the rich relationships and life-experiences that have made me resilient. This work nourished my creative soul.”
