Harttaal and Proprioceptive Writing

For Wies Enthoven reading the book Writing the Mind Alive, The Proprioceptive Method for Finding your Authentic Voice changed her life. Wies: “Because of writing a book about having an illness that made doctors frown their brows, I knew how important writing can be to get more grip on life. Proprioceptive Writing offers a liberating way of exploring your own thinking.”

After studying with Linda Trichter Metcalf, Ph.D., the founder of Proprioceptive writing, Wies brought this method to the Netherlands with her company Harttaal, Language of the Heart. As a certified PW teacher she is also connected to the Proprioceptive Writing faculty in the United States.

Wies Enthoven is a certified Proprioceptive Writing teacher, Dutch teacher, journalist and writer. She has a master in Pyscholinguistics. Find out more about Wies.
