Client Reviews

“I wholeheartedly recommend journaling mentorship with Antoinette. It has been such a treasured experience, that I know I will continue drawing from for a long a long time, reconnecting me to a creative practice I look forward tp exploring.

I appreciate Antoinette’s warmth, generosity, and compassionate attentiveness—both during our sessions and in between them. She has shared not only practical tools and timely, thought-provoking questions, but her gift for championing others too.

— Nancy Kimaro, Tanzania

“My on-on-one mentoring with Ant has been so special and enriching. Ant is really amazing at getting to the core of what is meaningful and important in life and encouraging and facilitating personal reflection and change for the better. I have loved our online sessions together and have been so inspired by the richness of the “Be The Elephant” metaphor and applying each of the four lessons to my life and journaling practice. I got such a lot out of these sessions that I have signed up to continue my journey with Ant and do ten more sessions.”

— Sue Zehrung, Australia

“I started mentorship with Ant during a major life transition and didn’t realise at the time how much our sessions would become an anchor in a deeply difficult season. Ant created space for me to feel, process, be challenged and grow. Through this work, I’ve found hope, freedom and reconnected with a deep part of my faith I’d lost sight of. Her wisdom, compassion and guidance have been an incredible gift. If you’re considering this journey — go for it. There is living water in this work. I’m living proof of it.”.

— Alessia Troisi, Ireland
