TEACHING

     INDIVIDUAL COACHING AND SMALL GROUP WORKSHOPS 

I was on fire that day. Diana poured creative kerosene all over us and lit a match.

The writing exercises took me deeper than I thought I would go and to places I didn't know I was going. They provided clarity and validation for the choices I have made. I enjoyed stretching myself i and would definitely do it again.                                         --Hillary B.
My uniform philosophy about writing, whether you're in an academic classroom, a small group workshop, or working one on one with a teacher/coach, is this:

Everyone who wants to write, deserves the opportunity to write.

Many people say they want to write, but so often I hear the following:
  • I don't believe I'm good enough.
  • I don't have the time.
  • I don't deserve to take the time/space to nurture my artistic self.
  • I don't know  where to start.

My workshops and individual instruction are designed to counter all of these obstacles and help you: 
  • unearth blocks to your creativity 
  • banish your inner critics
  • become reacquainted with your creative core
  • discover and nurture writing skills and passions long laid dormant
  • develop concrete plans to further your creative journey

At  Diana's writing workshops, her exercises were fun and enlightening.  I was  surprised at the words that flowed out of me once I was given permission to let go.  I also confronted some deep issues,  and it was very therapeutic to bring these to the surface.  Diana led the group with great care and respect toward the students. I would highly recommend her.

Diana offers a unique combination of encouraging support and constructive criticism that will make any writer improve their skills. Her feedback is spot-on. She knows how to keep a group on task, paying close attention, prodding us to revise and go deeper. I always come away from a workshop with her fortified by new insights and clear recommendations on how to continue to develop my writing project.
