About:
Welcome to Narrative Healing
A sanctuary for your stories, your voice, and your creative well-being.
I’m Lisa Weinert—writer, teacher, editor, and founder of Narrative Healing, a somatic and mindfulness-based writing program designed to support your full creative self. I believe that the stories we carry—especially the tender ones—hold a deep purpose. And when we learn to honor them, we open ourselves to connection, healing, and joy.
If you’re a writer (or yearning to be one) seeking a practice that’s both creative and healing, you’re in the right place.
This is writing for your nervous system.
Instead of beginning on the page, we begin in the body.
Our stories live in our muscles, our cells, our breath. When we’re caught in stress or survival mode, those stories can get stuck—frozen, lost, or buried. Through movement, breath, and mindfulness, we create the safety and spaciousness to welcome them back.
This approach blends:
Somatic & trauma-informed practices
Guided writing & creative prompts
Deep listening & community support
And decades of editorial experience rooted in traditional publishing
Why I do this work:
I’ve spent over two decades supporting writers as an editor, publicist, and literary coach—including a decade at Random House, and faculty roles at Wesleyan and Kripalu. I’ve worked with hundreds of authors and witnessed something again and again: writing can heal.
My own path brought me to become a trauma-informed yoga teacher and now, an MSW candidate at Fordham University. These modalities—movement, writing, community, healing—aren’t separate. They belong together. Narrative Healing is where they meet.
This space is for you if you’re ready to:
Reconnect with your voice in a safe, supported space
Write with more joy, purpose, and presence
Transform pain into meaning
Belong to a community that believes in the power of your story
Thank you for being here.
This is sacred work. And I’m honored to be on the journey with you.
With care and gratitude,
Lisa
