You've Found Your Creative Home!
If you answered “yes” to any of the above questions, you’re in the right place. The Visual Journaler was created for people like you—seekers who understand that true growth happens when we engage both heart and hands in the journey toward wholeness.
Here, your creative spirit and desire for meaningful transformation meet in a supportive space designed to help you discover, integrate, and embrace all parts of yourself through the gentle power of artistic expression.
In The Visual Journaler(tm) process, we connect to our inner, intuitive world. We integrate reflective writing with mixed media techniques, exploring and expressing our inner landscape through color, texture, imagery, and words.
Through practice, we develop a finer sensitivity to the visual and symbolic messages that surround us. Our journal becomes a sacred space where images and words interact and mutually enrich each other, helping us to better understand and realize ourselves.
Explore Some of our Methods Below
Visual Story Finding
we explore the self through image, word, symbol, metaphor, object, and landscape. This form can help identify one’s experience through our stories, history, and intuitive knowing.
Symbolism
our first language was symbols, imagery, and metaphors. For many of us, this ability fades as language emerges. Through visual journaling we reconnect with this deeper form of expression.
Giving Voice
we draw on the combined energy of your strengths and your shadow and push you to the edges of expression. Practice will deepen the experience of inner trust by combining verbal and non-verbal exploration.
Illumination
unlike enlightenment gives us small glimpses of light, grace, insight, or perspective. These tiny sparks are just enough to stir your spirit.
Presence
is our connection to the moment, our willingness to gaze and let go of negative judgments. It allows inner vision to break through and unfold deeper meanings.
Seeing
not just looking. Seeing is when you create with compassion while “visually listening” to an inner knowing revealed in your journal spreads. In practice, you gain access to wisdom and beauty with yourself and the world around you.

Meet Terri Altschul
Guiding your journey to wholeness through creative expression
Terri Altschul, PCC, is a certified professional coach with over 4,000 coaching hours and founder of The Visual Journaler. Her unique approach to inner development emerged from the intersection of her extensive coaching experience and profound personal transformation.
For more than 20 years, Terri thrived in corporate leadership development, working with global organizations to unlock human potential. While outwardly successful, she increasingly recognized the limitations of traditional development approaches that often remained on the surface, rarely accessing the deeper patterns that truly drive transformation.
In 2011, Terri took a courageous step away from her established career to explore more direct pathways to helping others transform fear and inner blocks. However, it wasn’t until experiencing the profound grief of losing her mother in 2012 that Terri’s methodology truly crystallized. When words failed to express the depth of her emotions, she turned to art materials and her knowledge of coaching inquiry, discovering a transformative pathway through her grief that led to unexpected personal evolution.
This pivotal experience revealed the power of combining visual expression with coaching principles. Where verbal coaching sometimes hit walls, images opened doorways to the unconscious, integrating mind, heart, and soul in a process that honored wholeness. Through this discovery, The Visual Journaler was born – a methodology that helps clients access their inner wisdom through creativity when words alone prove insufficient.
Today, Terri specializes in an inside-out approach to coaching and visual journaling that addresses root causes, uncovers blocks, and connects clients with their intuitive gifts. Her work sits at the powerful intersection of Jungian psychology, creative expression, and coaching psychology, creating a unique pathway to integration and wholeness.
With a warm, insightful presence and deep respect for each person’s unique journey, Terri guides clients through transformative experiences that help them embrace all parts of themselves, creating lives of greater authenticity, purpose, and meaningful expression.
