Client Testimonials
'Jill's gentle and kind approach makes room for anything that arises. I found her insight valuable and something that I trust. It is a validating process that the things I saw are worthy of not only being heard but recorded and reflected back to me, and held in a record that I can reflect on over and over. '
'Thank you Jill for introducing me to your visual coaching process. It was one of the most healing, enriching and affirming experiences of my life. You made it safe for me to explore my future self and I have not been the same since. I am calmer, and able to trust in my own process on a deeper level than ever before as I move towards embodying the vision I am holding of my future self. It was so real and you made it so easy. You are such a skilled artist and I could sense how much you cared about my process as we debriefed and you led me through the drawings, affirmations and insights you captured for me so beautifully as I journeyed. I can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t benefit from this simple yet transformative process, and I can’t think of anyone better to guide them.'
The process by which words are spoken aloud and witnessed by a listening body, heart and hand, in this case one that is taking those words and transforming them into a visual picture of colour and line and phrases is a powerful one. Emotions sometimes difficult to identify become words become heard become seen, providing a beautiful record of thoughts that have been rolled over and between two people who are invested in understanding and the connection that has been created on all levels. Connection between coach and client, words and meaning, words and pictures, what is and what could be, what's visible and what's less visible; all places where change and a deepening understanding can be nurtured and created.'

A Graphic Recorder translates dialogue into visual images, by listening to the group and making illustrations that capture both thought and feeling. The graphic facilitator helps people to see the key themes and stories arising within a dialogue. By connecting the dots on larger complex issues, groups can save time and energy when coming to decisions. Paired with a facilitator, this process can be integrated into community engagement events or dialogues. To source energy and insight from the group, by gathering impressions from people, creates more informed decisions and helps the communities that you serve.
