Just all of me

Nonfiction book author coach – I help thinkers, coaches, consultants and creatives write the non-fiction book that positions them as an authority in their field. You can shift from ‘aspiring author of the non-fiction book you’ve been wanting to write for a really long time’, to the actual author of said book.

Together we morph your book from Impossible, to Possible Book. And what could have been a difficult and uncomfortable journey may eventually feel easeful, or elegant.

You share your story. You might transform people. You create the chance to make the impact you’ve always wished to make.

Getting to this point requires a fair bit of self-exploration.

Somatic educator – If you’re want truly effective ways to make decisions and become creative, we exploring  practices to help integrate the familiar thinking habit you have, with the feeling and the sensing and the doing. Reflecting in a movement-based way is faster and far more sustainable when you want to do more than ‘just’ think your way out of your writing quandaries.

Nondual enquiry guide – If you are having an existential phase, then nondual enquiry might be a pathway you want to explore with me. I find that when you release the notion of ‘self’ then more creativity and capacity has room to flourish, and there’s less angst and psychological suffering.

Whether you are interested in embodiment, nonduality or ‘just’ trying to see ourselves as we really are … they are tricky to do on our own. It’s like describing the taste of our own mouth or imitating our own walk. How do you describe the style of your writing or communicating, or existing? Humans need the mirror of another person to see things clearly. That’s why you might work with a coach.

Here’s an interesting concoction: take 20+ years’ experience in communication, marketing and advertising. Then get an editor and writer. Plus an embodiment coach and Feldenkrais Method® practitioner (final year of training). A few versatile certifications and lots of different courageous experiences.

Roll them all into one person, shake it out – and you get me: Jane Hardjono.

Are you ready?

To create a sequence of thoughts that will get you to publication, within a set time period? (An appealing alternative to a jumble of words that could take a year or more, and not be publishing-ready.)

I published my first nonfiction book The Write Mind in the Write Body in December 2024. It contains a taster of the work you can expect to experience with me when combining writing craft and processes with a somatic approach.

I became New Zealand’s second certified Nonfiction Book Coach with Author Accelerator. This was a rigorous year long course that requires qualified coaches to deliver detailed developmental editing, coaching, blueprint and proposal and pitching practica to a board of strict assessors based in the US.

In 2022 I certified via Embodiment Unlimited to coach ‘through the body’, a modality also known as an ’embodiment coach’, using a broad range of techniques and principles devised by a long and formidable list of somatic teachers primarily stemming from western traditions.

I am 3/4 through the 4 year course to certify as a Feldenkrais® practitioner. Currently I am authorised to teach Awareness Through Movement® group lessons, and in January 2026 I will be able to facilitate Functional Integration® (1:1 hands on sessions) to individuals.

In the early 2000s I studied Professional Writing and Editing while working fulltime at an advertising agency and later in the marketing of a global retailer, with a view to becoming a copywriter and editor.

My university education in the late 1990s led me to be the recipient of BA with a general major including French, English Grammar, Anthropology and a Diploma in Music (Piano).
