"Journal writing gives us insights into who we are
who we wereand who we can become."

Hi, We’re Allen & Lisa—Your Guides to Wellness, Clarity, and Creativity.

With each of us having over 40 years of experience in teaching, business, and the arts, we know firsthand how powerful journaling and aromatherapy can be in unlocking new possibilities. 

We’ve worked with hundreds of individuals to help them overcome life’s challenges, find creative solutions, and tap into their full potential. We’re here to show you that journaling isn’t just about writing—it’s about transformation.

Bound to Journal emerged as we shared discoveries we’d made staying positive while stumbling toward change.

Our course designs guide you through a process of reaching clarity, deeper creativity, and a better understanding of yourself while working toward your goals.
