About Author
Hi, I’m Anita, a journal creator, dreamer, and proud mom of three amazing daughters, including a set of twins. Born and raised in The Netherlands – Amsterdam, I’ve always found solace in writing—whether it’s to process the chaos of life, set intentions, or simply savor a quiet moment with my thoughts.
My journey hasn’t been without its challenges. Growing up with divorced parents taught me about resilience early on, while school brought its own set of lessons (let’s just say being the “shy girl” doesn’t exactly protect you from bullies). Later in life, I faced one of my biggest challenges yet: breast cancer. Each of these experiences shaped who I am today—someone who values reflection, creativity, and the ability to find humor even in tough times.
Journaling has been my constant a way to clear my mind, focus my energy, and manifest my dreams. When everything felt overwhelming, writing gave me clarity and strength. It’s this transformative power of journaling that I want to share with others.
Through J.C. Journals, I’ve poured my heart into creating tools that inspire and empower. My journals are thoughtfully designed with guided prompts, plenty of room for self-reflection, and a touch of beauty to elevate your daily writing practice. Whether you’re manifesting goals, finding your calm, or just trying to keep track of everything life throws your way (hello, parenting!), these journals are here to support you.
When I’m not designing journals or writing blogs, you’ll find me juggling family life (literally) with my three girls, sipping tea while scrolling Pinterest for creative inspiration, or enjoying rare moments of silence.
Thank you for letting me be part of your journey. I truly believe that journaling can change lives just as it’s changed mine.
Let’s write our stories together, one page at a time
I began J.C. Journals in Amsterdam, selling locally to share my love for journaling. Soon after, I expanded to selling online in the Netherlands, reaching even more people with my creations. Today, my journals are available on Amazon.com, making them accessible to dreamers and writers worldwide.
