Diane N. Solomon
Mental Health & WellnessWriter/Essayist

A dedicated, thoughtful writer crafting stories, insights, and empowerment. Infused by psychiatric expertise. Here’s to your wellbeing!

Creating a World Through Words.

For me, writing is life. I have always written—long, luxurious letters since age 8, passionate journaling from 12 or 13. And twined with writing, I’ve been a caretaker A child carer to family and friends, then a nurse, nurse-midwife, and psychiatric nurse practitioner. I cannot unbraid writer and carer, nor would I want to.


Retired from patient care, now I write—and through writing, hope to help others. I write about wellness, mental health, relationships; what seems most meaningful to humans.
