Lindy Schneider - Writer, Writing Mentor and Therapist

Writing is about the pursuit of meaning and passionate action – meaningful words are the essence of a meaningful world.

Freelance writer, Accredited Life Story writer, writing mentor & coach, content specialist and psychotherapist/equine therapist

THE RIGHT WORD CHANGES EVERYTHING My writing has an inspirational quality, an emotional integrity that stems from a narrative based on personal experiences and deep reflection. My quest is to be authentic, honest and mindful of the details that make life rich, gathering the threads that weave the tapestry of human experience. I value the poetic and see writing as a beautiful way to connect and elevate life. Through our words we stand for what we believe. I work glocally (global/local) and am a part of the new era in self-created, balanced living. I live with a mountain and a river in the pristine Yarra Valley – writers’ bliss on the outskirts of Melbourne – but my virtual office takes me many places.

What age should you be to write your life story?
Read my blog where I share my thoughts on this often misunderstood topic!

Life Stories Australia

…or have someone write it for you? The right time to write your life story is ‘always’. A life deserves to be captured in all its stages of development, maturation, triumph and tribulation. It makes sense to reflect on life in a continuous way, if you have the time and inclination. It is from ...

I have just returned from a professionally nourishing, soul satisfying mini break in the city attending the annual conference.

I have been an accredited member of this peak body now for six years and I love the support, the inspiration and the friendships this wonderful group of dedicated writers offer. We are all different, use varied forms of storytelling including written, visual and audio, and yet we are all united in our work to document the lives of people with grace, professionalism and connection.

I am pleased to announce I have accepted a position on the board of Life Stories Australia for the coming year, and I am looking forward to working with, and for, our current and future members. I’m excited to make a contribution and see all the stories flourish.

Our Story

THE RIGHT WORD CHANGES EVERYTHING

Lindy Schneider is a freelance writer, communications specialist and equine/arts therapist located in the Yarra Valley. Her writing life creatively brings together her greatest loves and is inspired by the search for meaning and the desire to ‘elevate the feminine’.

She is the author of From This Place – Stories of Inspiring Women Artists of the Upper Yarra Valley (with Angela Rivas), biography Visionary Man, Visionary Medicine, the story of Professor Avni Sali and Integrative Medicine, and co-author of The Chemical Maze – Bookshelf Companion.

Her short story ‘Juice’ was shortlisted in the Cancer Council Arts Awards, and she won the Best Script award for ‘Pablo’s Muse’ in Theatre Shorts 3.

She is the founder of Writer’s Arena, which includes eco-therapy, equine therapy and creativity based ‘writing with horses’ programs that nourish writing practice with the wisdom of nature and the way of the horse. Lindy works glocally (global/local) and am a part of the new era in self-created, balanced living. I live with a mountain and a river in the pristine Yarra Valley – writers’ bliss on the outskirts of Melbourne – but my virtual office takes me many places. Aptitudes – As a freelance writer I have learnt that:

Lived experience is great research – It’s no secret that we write best about what we know.

Real words connect real people to you (or to your business endeavours).

Meaning, clarity and conviction are essential writing values.

An understanding of how people think and be means I can write straight to the heart (and mind).

What you need is a job done well, but isn’t it great to know you are working on a relationship as well as a task?

Qualifications – I’ve built a foundation over thirty years:

Graduate Diploma of Arts in Writing – Swinburne University (Masters in progress)

Bachelor of Commerce (Marketing and Management) – Deakin University

Diploma of Transpersonal Counselling – Ikon International Institute for Healing Arts and Sciences

Diploma of Transpersonal Art Therapy – Ikon International Institute for Healing Arts and Sciences

Diploma in Professional Writing and Editing – GippsTAFE/CAE

Writing for the Web, InDesign, Digital Photography, IOS Photography

Certificate in Integrative Medicine – National Institute of Integrative Medicine

Level 2 Instructor – Equine Facilitated Learning (EFL)

Lindy has worked for multinational corporations (that was the 90s after all!) in Marketing Manager and Strategic Marketing roles in Australia and the Asia Pacific. (See LinkedIn profile for all the details). Then she listened to her soul call and in 1998 started her freelance life bringing value to small and medium businesses that matched her moral and ethical compass. So far it’s working!

Lindy’s daily ‘research’ encompasses health and healing, story making, motherhood, cooking and nutrition, conscious business, Tribal style belly dancing with Zaar, yoga, reading voraciously, a good red wine, advocacy and positive social action, living authentically, philosophy and a lifelong commitment to learning.

And of course there is writing…
