About Holistic Journaling Courses & Programs & Workshops
Crafted by Women, for Women — Rooted in Connection
​
Holistic Journaling courses and circles are lovingly designed by women who believe in the power of pen and presence. These programs are meant to be shared in community, where magic unfolds and meaningful connection thrives.
​
Each offering nurtures self-awareness and self-love, inviting you to grow, reflect, and rise.
Join us by the season—September to November, January to March, or April to June—whether for a single soulful session or through a membership that opens the door to deeper exploration.
Live courses bloom with six or more women; gather your circle, and we’ll create something beautiful together.
​
To stay in the loop about upcoming topics, special guests, and gatherings, we warmly invite you to join our mailing list.​

Meet Jill Grumbache — Founder of Holistic Journaling
​
A lifelong journaler and communicator at heart, Jill founded Holistic Journaling in 2012 to share with other women the transformative, healing magic of the written word.
​
Her path has woven through the worlds of communications, entertainment, art, and health — guiding her to study under therapeutic journaling pioneer Kathleen Adams. Soon afterward, Jill birthed her own business and now beloved journaling courses, including Hallelujah! Letting Go! and Radical Inner Harmony.
​
Jill guides women through courses, programs, workshops - each held in the magic of community. Her focus is always on helping women nurture clarity through learning and self-discovery, and, ultimately, to embrace self-love.
She partners with therapists, mentors journaling students, and continues her journey as an artist, Buddhist, and devoted mother and grandmother — writing her life with intention, one page at a time.
In discussion with HJ Founder, Jill Grumbache

Journaling is a quiet revolution that's, happily, getting louder. It's a gentle, proven path to positive transformation and self-growth. I believe it belongs beside yoga and meditation as a sacred practice for conscious living. Together, they form a powerful trio to help us navigate life with clarity, presence, and grace.
Science affirms what many of us already feel: journaling holds profound restorative power. It soothes the nervous system, strengthens emotional resilience, and invites deep self-connection. That’s why I call my practice Holistic Journaling — because it nurtures the whole self.
My mission is to help journaling claim its rightful place in our daily lives — not just as a tool, but as a way of being. I believe that as we learn to extend compassion to ourselves through the page, we naturally extend it to others.
And in that simple act, I believe we begin to heal the world.
Currently bubbling up from Jill's inkpot...
There’s always ideas bubbling, stories steeping, and new offerings coming to life in Jill's busy brain!
​
First on the page is a heartfelt workbook to help women gently process the layered emotions of trauma. Rooted in the healing power of storytelling, this affordable resource will be released on this site later this year.
​
Also rising to the surface is a longtime dream: the NudgeNudge book series. The debut edition, NudgeNudge for Mindful New Mothers, will soon be available on Amazon — a tender companion for women in the sacred season of new motherhood.
​
And a beautiful milestone: Jill has been invited by journaling pioneer Kathleen Adams to join the faculty of Journalversity. Her first course there? The transformative Radical Inner Harmony. Launching soon — stay tuned.
​
Even more original HJ courses are being lovingly penned as we speak.
​
It’s a joyfully overflowing inkpot — and many reasons to stay connected with Jill and Holistic Journaling.
