Meet Dale

Some people find their way home through therapy and some through burning everything down and starting again – rising like a phoenix from the ashes.

I find mine through writing. I always have.

Since 2013 I’ve been teaching people to do the same. Not to write better sentences. To write their way back to themselves — through the pen, the breath, the wild honest page.

That’s what I do.

Everything here is a different road to the same place.

Spotlight Course: Discover The Writer Within

Have you always wanted to write, but felt unsure where to start? This creative life writing course invites you on a gentle, inspiring journey to explore your memories, dreams, and imagination-one story at a time.

Spotlight Book: Words From The Wild

This book is for women who have been betrayed and have betrayed themselves. For those tired of saying yes when they mean no, of trying to prove their worth, and of pretending everything is fine while their bodies scream to be heard.

Through fourteen vulnerable chapters, I trace the journey from betrayal to belonging to yourself. From learning that bitterness isn’t a fault in my character but a guidance system pointing toward necessary boundaries. Awakening to the truth that empty spaces aren’t empty but pregnant with possibility. And understanding that your body’s rebellion isn’t an inconvenience – it’s your wisest teacher demanding you listen.
