About the Coaches
Tami DeMello grew up in an environment marked by deprivation and trauma, and she discovered that writing became a powerful path toward healing. Through consistent journaling, she experienced profound personal benefits and now shares that practice with others. For over two years, she has led journaling sessions where participants describe her as compassionate and caring, especially in the thoughtful feedback she offers. As a certified journaling coach, Tami believes journaling empowers trauma survivors to feel seen, heard, and supported. She looks forward to guiding you as you write your way toward greater health and wholeness.
