Monique Charlton, Owner & Facilitator at Write for Wellness
Monique has had stories in her bones for as long as she can remember. Monique believes that writing our personal stories helps us to connect and to heal. By connecting within we heal ourselves, by connecting with others we contribute to healing our communities, and ultimately, to healing the world. Monique founded Write for Wellness to encourage everyone to pick up a pen and explore their inner dialogue, find power within their creative voice, write their story, and achieve a sense of personal balance and universal connection.
A retired Business Analyst, Monique has over 20 years of varied experience in healthcare in the province of Ontario. Since 2013, her investigations into the art of storytelling and writing as a personal wellness journey have been assisted by many writers’ workshops in Muskoka, Haliburton and Kawartha Lakes, in addition to enjoying many on-line writing opportunities. Monique is a member of the Muskoka Authors Association and the Haliburton Highlands Writers’ and Editors’ Network. She continues to write and occasionally submit to contests, although her creative work is now centered around building and facilitating writing workshops and coaching at Write for Wellness.
In 2021, Monique created the “Seeds: Growing Connection Through Writing” Journal. This is a NEW kind of journal, for non-writers or writers alike, encouraging connection to nature and guides the writer to look to nature for writing prompts. A copy of this journal is provided to each Write For Wellness workshop participant.
