People who journal are...
"Scientific studies have shown it to be essentially a panacea for modern life. There are the obvious benefits, like a boost in mindfulness, memory and communication skills. But studies have also found that writing in a journal can lead to better sleep, a stronger immune system, more self-confidence and a higher I.Q..."
In the beginning...
Holistic Journaling was founded in 2012 by Jill Grumbache to help champion & share the enlightening & healing properties of journaling.
Jill is a long-life journaler, award-winning writer, Certified Journaling Facilitator, Emotional Intelligence Coach, and Beneficial Journaling Educator. Prior to founding HJ, she focused her career on Communications in its many forms within the corporate, non-profit, and entertainment sectors. Her career offered her the opportunity to work with many esteemed people including the Dalai Lama, authors Isabel Allende and Maya Angelou, astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Roberta Bondar, and Barbara Walters.
When ready to make the leap to living her true passion, she enrolled in the Center for Journal Therapy where she attained certification as a Journaling Facilitator (CJF). At CJT, she was taught & mentored by its founder, pioneer, author, & primary journal therapy theorist Kathleen Adams, LPC.
First trained & certified to teach Adam's Journal to the Self & Leia Francisco's Journaling Through Transitions, Jill went on to found Holistic Journaling and develop several original courses including the much loved and lauded Hallelujah! Letting Go! and, what's been called the Ph.D. of journaling, Radical Inner Harmony. Jill hosts all of HJ's programs (together with fascinating guests) and facilitates each of HJ's courses and workshops. She also works with psychologists, teaching their clients journaling techniques to enhance their therapy and help achieve their goals.
Jill is also an artist, writer, and student of Buddhism. She has two grown & glorious daughters, an awesome son-in-law, and one astounding granddaughter. Originally from Lapeer, Michigan, she's now lived in Montreal, Quebec, Canada for over 30 years.
Life is hard.
Journaling makes it easier...
and
Holistic Journaling makes both a better, richer experience.
