About Dale – The Word Alchemist
The Word Alchemist: Transforming Your Wisdom Into Words That Heal & Inspire
My Values
Freedom
The ability to act, speak, or think without unwanted external restrictions. It encompasses the ideas of liberty, autonomy, and the right to pursue personal happiness.
Fairplay
Treating others fairly, adhering to rules or ethical principles, and ensuring equal opportunities for all.
Beauty
Beauty enriches life, inspires creativity, and can lead to a deeper appreciation of the world. Beyond physical appearances, beauty is also associated with virtues like kindness, grace, and inner harmony.
Why Choose The Word Alchemist?
With over 13 years of experience in writing and publishing nonfiction self-help books, my focus has evolved into creating transformational journals.
As an emotional projector and an INFJ, I empathise deeply with my clients, intuitively understanding their stories and unlocking their potential.
My top strengths—strategic thinking, maximising potential, building relationships, generating ideas, and fostering connectedness—form the foundation of my approach to creating content-rich transformational journals.

My Story
The Long And Winding Road
Where I even begin to tell the story of who I am, how I got here and why I do what I do.
I have, like many, been through some pretty tough times – abusive times – which, at the time, broke me and which continued to pop up and bite me on the bum.
The biggest thing I had to do was learn to love myself. When I did this, I was able to make the best decisions about what to do next and how.
And like many, I have been on a massive healing journey, which at times seemed to never end. I thought the worst was over, and then out of nowhere, I was crushed by people I trusted and burned out.
It wasn’t fun. Is it ever fun?
But like the Phoenix rising from the ashes, I did again – stronger and still with the resilience, boundaries, kindness and compassion I think we need for the onward adventure.

Dale, you have a beautiful, gentle energy, and I learned so much more about how to get the most out of journaling and different ways to meditate and connect to the heart and heart of Mother Earth. I loved your books and ways of connecting from our soul to our journal. Dale has a beautiful way of making you feel held in loving energy. Fiona Clark
