write from here.
start where you are. follow the thread. see what unfolds.
Through restorative writing, coaching, community, and thoughtful conversation, get curious about your own story, hear yourself more clearly, and learn to trust where your own voice leads you.
Maybe you’ve always been someone who turns to the page when something is difficult to explain out loud.
You notice things. You ask big questions. You think about the stories people tell, the choices they make, and all the strange, beautiful, heartbreaking things that shape a life. You might be carrying a story you’re ready to share, finding your footing after life took a turn you didn’t expect, or simply craving more space for creativity, reflection and the kinds of honest conversations we rarely make time for.
What is Write From Here?
Write From Here is an invitation to meet yourself on the page exactly where you are. Not once you’ve figured everything out, you know how the story ends, found the lesson, made the decision or become the person you think you’re supposed to be.
Through writing circles, workshops, resources and one-to-one support, I create space to notice what’s asking for your attention, put something honest on the page and follow it with curiosity. You don’t need to consider yourself a writer. You don’t need to know what you’re trying to say. And you never have to share anything you write.
The page is simply somewhere to begin.
Feel like you’ve lost the plot a little?
I've been filling journals since I was ten. They've followed me through addiction and recovery, grief, caregiving, career changes, and rebuilding my life more than once.
Somewhere along the way, I realized the writing wasn't giving me the answers. It was teaching me a different way to listen: to slow down, follow what was asking for my attention, and learn to trust my own voice.
I’ve also spent my career working with stories from just about every angle — as an award-winning journalist, professional writer and editor, recovery coach, book editor, and facilitator.
That’s the practice I keep returning to. And now it’s the one I get to share with other people.
I’ve spent most of my life writing my way back to myself—
…although it took me a long time to realize that’s what I was doing.
WRITE FROM HERE CIRCLES
Come write with us!
We’ll slow down, notice what’s asking for your attention, and use a handful of prompts to follow that thread with curiosity.
You might put words to something you’ve been carrying, see an old story a little differently, or simply leave understanding yourself a little better than when you arrived.
You don’t need to consider yourself a writer, and you never have to share what you write.
Just bring yourself, something to write with, and a little curiosity.

From women who have written with me:
“In your workshop, I learned that the answers come from within if you just take the time to sit and write freely, no planning, no goal, no specific outcome, just whatever comes up. And you also had wonderful prompts.”
Mandy S. (Creator, ‘The Conscious Pause' podcast)
“It was such a wonderful afternoon, you could see the walls breaking down around people. Everyone should attend one of your workshops!”
Ash W. (Author, Broken Human)
“Dani offered a relaxed space where pen and paper connected—and so did people. Everything about the workshop was supportive and encouraging. There was time to both write and reflect, and I took home ideas for more writing. It was exactly what I needed to kickstart my healing journey.”
