Aukje Kapteyn

Aukje began writing early and used writing and journaling to gain clarity and achieve more joy and gratitude in her life. She is a great lover of natural beauty and the outdoors since very young. Canada was her home from age 12 on and her family travelled this lovely country from coast to coast.

Her publishing began with a first prize in a short story contest, then she published poetry and feature articles. At age 49 she designed a journal writing process that is very effective for moving oneself forward to more emotional and spiritual maturity.

Aukje raised three children and finished her Masters in Counselling and used these skills in private practice, her retreat centre and in work work in Indigenous communities in northern Alberta. Her passion is to guide others to be empowered to take charge of their lives and pursue their potential. Writing soothes and opens up avenues of creativity.
