Private Practice

EXPRESSIVE WRITING. Expressive writing techniques can be effective aids for individuals who are dealing with traumatic wounds and post traumatic stress. Private sessions to learn expressive writing techniques can be coordinated with a client's on-going professional therapy when an individual is ready to work on issues through writing. Exercises used are from the Write It Out Program.

FICTION, MEMOIR & NON-FICTION MANUSCRIPTS. Individual attention and encouragement is recommended for students who are working on articles or books for publication and need in depth editing; and those wishing to document their life stories for family and friends and need assistance in preparing the manuscript. Consultations can be in person or via long distance learning.

Contact Ronni Miller for an appointment.

Motivational Speaking

"Expressive Writing Releases Toxins"

Inspiring. Motivating. Healing. Ronni Miller, Founder and Director of the nationally known Write It Out® Program, stimulates and nurtures her audiences to experience release and relief in her interactive presentations. Writer, educator and motivator, Miller created Write It Out® in 1992 as a motivational and expressive writing program for individuals of all ages. During her presentations to groups of all sizes, she guides the audience to employ her unique expressive writing technique to release emotional toxins for personal growth. Practical techniques are interspersed with entertaining anecdotes from her life story, and revelations from the scientific literature of the American Medical Association and others which attest to the value of expressive writing for healing.

One format that has proved particularly successful is an introductory motivation speech by Ronni Miller followed by an actual workshop on Expressive Writing For Personal Growth.
