Kind words

“My experience with Harper was nothing short of amazing. Harper has a way of connecting with people in a genuine way that makes even introverts like me comfortable. I loved speaking with Harper about my journey with invisible illness – and speaking about my invisible illness is not always an easy thing to do, especially when others don’t understand what it’s like. But Harper does, and that makes all the difference in the world.”
— Rachel Wilson, Regulatory and Investigations Analyst, UBS

“The Made Visible Writing Class will always rank as one of the top three most impactful experiences of my life. It pushed me to find my voice, embrace my health story and start taking back my power with my pen (and keyboard). Harper is an outstanding teacher and mentor, who pours her heart and soul into each session. It’s more than a writing class, it’s a very intimate exploration of identity, stories and the possibilities for creating change through art. This class is the match that will light your flame. Best investment I ever made.”
— Colleen Black

“Harper is not only a wonderful facilitator but a true connoisseur of writing in this creative niche. Her 12-week writing course helped me discover nuances of my own style and connect with people in this space. Anyone who is interested in writing about their health story, or simply learning to find their voice in a world that tells us we are too flawed or broken to speak up, should work with Harper!”
