Learn a Wholesome 5-Step Way to Journal

“Hang on a minute, did I read that right?

Learn to journal?! Can it be taught?

I already feel nervous about putting my thoughts on the page, let alone having someone teach me a process.

Will guided steps actually work for me?

Does my writing stay private?“

I’m so glad you asked

You are not alone!

There’s a big difference between journal prompts and a guided process.

This 5-step process gives you a framework to learn and grow from your emotions. It’s open-ended, helping you to make gentle shifts and changes.

Journal writing is definitely private! This form of self-reflective writing is taught with sensitivity. I’ll guide you to learn and experience each step and I won’t ever know what you write. Being able to respect your privacy while at the same time celebrate your growth is wonderfully important.

Journaling? Simple, easy not really worth the effort yeah? WRONG. I have attended a few online journaling sessions and was thinking just those things. Until the day I looked up and there was Ingrid. This wonderful Life Coach is so in tune with where we are all at in our lives and takes journaling to a whole new level. Every week I am immersed in just one thing. Journaling. I find something I probably didn't realise about myself and my life each time. Ingrid's format and how she so kindly, gently & compassionately leads us to where we realise things about ourselves and our own journeys. We can dissect them and come up with answers for ourselves. I truly believe this is unparalleled. I wouldn't miss a weekly session with Ingrid and her group of beautiful souls for anything. Thank you from my heart Ingrid.

What a life changing experience! My first journal session with Ingrid was the beginning of a new way of connecting with myself. Diving For Pearls journaling is a simple but powerful exercise, it opens doorways and creates positive change in your life through a journey of self discovery.

Ingrid has built a wonderful, supportive and positive journal community in a short period of time - not easy to manage in an online environment. It is this online environment that makes it easy to join her weekly workshops, feel psychologically safe to contribute (if you choose), and journal in your own comfortable surroundings. Ingrid has developed a strategic and considered structure for her journal workshops - she very clearly outlines each step and guides you to uncover your own "hidden gems". A self-confessed "love bug", Ingrid fosters a welcoming, warm and supportive community where genuine friendships are formed. Thank you Ingrid!

Ingrid's Diving For Pearls journal process has been a wonderful support for me during the last 12 months. Right from the very first workshop I was able to use the process to uncover useful insights that fueled my personal growth. I quickly joined Ingrid's weekly journal community and have loved every session. She creates a beautiful space for us to explore what's on our mind and connect with others in the community. Ingrid, you truly has a gift for helping people through journalling, thanks so much for sharing it!

Journal With Ingrid has proven to be an important part of my life and I am constantly "surprised" at the power and achievement I feel from a journaling session. The structure and information in each session is top quality. Ingrid's leadership is professional and always friendly and I know that an important part (and one that I had underestimated) was being introduced to the inclusive and broad ranging members of her journal Community.

I love my journalling sessions with Ingrid! She never fails to inspire some new thought in me. Having the guided structure for journalling is so beneficial for me and helps keep me on task.I find the journalling so useful for unravelling my thoughts and easing anxiety. Thank you Ingrid! I never would have thought I would enjoy journalling so much.

Each journaling session, thoughtfully and sensitively led by Ingrid, takes me on a journey of self discovery. Sometimes challenging, sometimes comforting, sometimes magical, each session takes me down a path that lets me explore an aspect of myself. Every time I discover a gem for personal growth. The journaling community is so supportive and keeps things in perspective. Thanks Ingrid

I have journaled at various stages throughout my life. However, it has always been in response to a difficult situation or emotion, more of a release than a gaining of some self-awareness. Ingrid's journaling process has given me the structure and guidance that I have been looking for. From the first step of letting it all out, through to my favourite, the third step, of finding the "hidden gem", I never cease to be amazed by the "'lightbulb" moments, big or small, that invariably occur. Ingrid facilitates this process with a different focus each week. And, each week, in that focus, I find some direct relevance to my life. The Saturday morning journal community has become an inspiring and enjoyable way to start my weekend. The weekly video repeats what we have done on Saturday, and enables guided journaling when I have the time, need or inclination. The more regularly that I journal, the better my week, the more "gems" that I find. Ingrid's process and her careful guidance have brought about healing for me, and a much better understanding and management of my thought processes. Highly recommended.

Ingrid’s journal process is a gift – for reflection, clarity and empowerment. Her gentle, thoughtful approach has changed me (is still changing me): I am more engaged, forgiving, courageous, content... and loving! So much to appreciate: fabulous Ingrid and her online community, stimulating themes, and an effective journalling tool so easily practised. Thanks, Ingrid.

How you think and feel about yourself and the world around you, impacts all areas of your life.

Journaling is a way of sorting through your own thoughts and emotions, giving yourself the opportunity to come home to you.

When you feel grounded, calm, inspired and clear, you make good decisions for yourself and those around you, sending ripples of love and kindness out into the world. That’s where true change begins.

Say yes to your wellbeing and come and journal with me!
