Private Sessions
Work one-on-one with me to cultivate a nourishing journaling practice, deepen your self-understanding, or grow into a journaling facilitator.
These private sessions are designed to meet you where you are, whether you’re just starting or ready to take your practice (and your work) to the next level.
Guided journaling journeys
Journal writing can be deeply supportive — especially when you know how to use it intentionally.
In our private sessions, you won’t just “write.”
Based on research-based therapeutic writing, you’ll learn how to use journaling as a practice for clarity, emotional processing, decision-making, and self-connection.
Each session is a space to slow down, reflect, and be guided with structure, intention, and depth.

Hey, it's Ana Juma here
I’m a journaling facilitator and certified Journal to the Self® instructor on a mission to make journaling a widely recognized practice for well-being. What started as my way of making sense of my personal experiences, has evolved into the work I do today.
In a world shaped by constant stimulation, distraction, and noise, it feels more important than ever to create moments to slow down and sit with ourselves, reflect, and open a dialogue with our inner voice.
While free writing can be a meaningful starting point (Morning Pages, anyone?), journaling goes far beyond emptying your mind onto the page.
There is a rich body of techniques and decades of research in therapeutic and expressive writing that show how journal writing can support clarity, emotional processing, and self-understanding.
I believe that each journaling practice is as unique as the person holding the pen, and my approach reflects that. It evolves with you over time, shaping the person you’re becoming and inevitably radiating into every other area of your life.
