Meet your host

Hi! I’m Janelle Hardy.

I’m a writer, somatic (body) healer and transformational memoir-writing teacher.

I’ve been on a healing path since I was 20, seeking to find relief from extreme shyness, loneliness, chronic fatigue, intense tooth grinding and tummy troubles.

And it’s worked. I’ve found relief and healing.

I’m the host of the Memoir Body, Healing Story Podcast and the creator/teacher of a transformational memoir-writing course called The Art of Personal Mythmaking. 

All of which is to say - you’re in good hands with me :-)

I care deeply about the people I serve.

I trust this work, I trust my training and experience, and I trust the incredible lineup of skilled (and kind) healers and writers you’ll hear from during the Healing Through Writing Festival.

Most of all, I trust you and your longing for healing, growth, and kind, skilled support on your journey.

Grab your free ticket and join us to learn supportive writing processes and simple memoir-writing techniques while moving forward on your healing journey.

Healing Through Writing was created with your healing in mind.

It’s a workshop and presentation series that trusts you.

  • That trusts your discernment, your hunger for growth, the wisdom of your body, your creativity and your stories.

It’s not just about healing the difficult, but about inviting in joy, expansion and depth.

Healing Through Writing was specifically created for sensitive, thoughtful, creative seekers like you. People who:

  • love writing and other creative practices

  • are struggling to understand their discontent, their discomfort, their weird symptoms

  • are hungry to grow beyond what their cultures, societies and families have told them they are

  • feel the deep and potent promise of a transformative process

  • have stories that have been held inside too tightly for far too long

This is about giving you embodied, experiential practices and ways to write your personal stories that are healing.
