    Lynda Monk’s class “Transformational Writing for Wellness Salon” was excellent. It is well-structured, the exercises are motivating, challenging, and revelatory. The course helped me find clarity in my life, discover new aspects of myself, and moved me to a new place spiritually. Lynda’s compassionate one-on-one attention as a reader of my writing reflected back to me what I was expressing in my writing. Her feedback was invaluable, and I felt heard. She brought this same attention and compassion to the group as well. I highly recommend this course for anyone who is seeking more clarity in their life quest. ~ Jo Ann Koltyk
