What they said

  • “I was so impressed by Jane's ability to create a safe, respectful and accepting online space that still felt playful, curious and relaxed. She brought an authenticity and openness that made it feel safe to take part in and share the writing activities. She was warm and friendly but also had an approach that made the sessions feel solid - boundaries felt really clear. I learnt things about facilitating from watching Jane!”
