Meet Rivkah Leah

Hi! I’m Rivkah Leah Gelb and I’m so excited to embark on this journey of self discovery and healing with you through writing and connecting with others.
I am a wife, mom of four, and high school teacher and I am passionate about mental health awareness.
In my spare time (what’s that?!), I love to read, write, hang out with my family and friends and take photos.

What participants are saying:

I loved this course! The size of the group was perfect and the instruction was amazing. It was so healing, introspective and meaningful. I was so moved that all of the women trusted us with their writing. Very motivated to make writing a more regular, healing practice.
Estie Baumgarten
The Writing to Heal workshop was just what I was hoping it would be. I loved the opportunity to write deeply (and sometimes not so deeply, too!) and share with other women in a safe and vulnerable environment

This was an extremely transformative enriching and enlightening experience. I learned about the creative side of my writing brain. And learned how to HEAL from your writing instead of going back to that dark time without a way out.
Devorah Katzman
It was so empowering and fun to write my own life's stories and share in a nurturing environment. Great experience!

I had such a powerful and beautiful experience. I really enjoyed the freedom and intimacy within the group. Hearing from so deep within other women's experiences and having a space to explore and be received without judgement was extremely healing. Thank you Leigh and all of my cohort!
Basya Wuensch-Reiter
I have done quite of a bit of unguided expressive writing throughout my healing journey, but most of this writing was typed up on the computer AND edited, either as I went or after I completed the writing. I feel that I really underestimated the power in the rawness of stream of consciousness writing. I was so surprised by the pieces that came out when I wasn't self-editing. In addition, the experience of reading my work aloud to the group, though terrifying, was empowering. I think I often feel weakened by my story and my truth. Sharing it gave me ownership over my truth and felt empowering.
GL
I loved the opportunity to be able to free write and be supported by such an incredible group, especially led by Leigh. The personal attention and feedback was so valuable!
SW
Writing to Heal gave me confidence and a voice to be seen and heard in a safe space.
LK
Writing to Heal was such a helpful and healing space. I am grateful to have had this space where I feel comfortable being vulnerable because we're all on a journey to tune in & heal.
