Creative Coaching
Creative Coaching can support you if:
You make any kind of art or creative work
You get paid for this creative work
You don’t get paid for this creative work
You identify as an artist
You don’t identify as an artist
You want to take your creative practice more seriously
Creative Coaching may not be for you if:
You have no time to dedicate to your creative practice right now
Your main goals are commercial (how do I make more money from my art?) rather than creative (how do I make the art I’m here to make?). Commercial goals are valid! Just not within the scope of how I can help you.
Why work with me?
I know how hard it is to make the art you’re here to make, to take yourself seriously, and to call in support for your practice.
I grew up making art, and I knew plenty of kids who stopped when someone told them they weren’t good enough.
I made it all the way to art school before I felt that crushing sense of self-doubt. That was the first time I started to wonder if I was good enough, or if only certain exceptional people got to be artists.
When I graduated I stopped making art entirely for a year. What brought me back was someone asking me to make a block print for a fundraiser—something easy and helpful I could do in an afternoon. Since then I’ve struggled to understand my talents, my mission, and how and when I have the most capacity. I’ve needed to unlearn the (capitalist, misogynist, racist, ableist, etc.) conditioning about whose creative voice matters.
Over the past 15 years I’ve built an art business that continues to thrive, relying on what I’ve learned about the creative process and how to overcome deep blocks.
As a Creative Coach I bring not only my lifetime of experience facing the challenges of making art but my expertise as an astrologer. Working with your birth chart, we can identify your core creative talents (including some that may surprise you). We can also identify what blocks you and create effective strategies so you can connect more deeply with your wellspring of creativity. Over our time together we’ll work with your transits and your goals to craft a custom process that meets your real needs.
Making art can be lonely and daunting.
Even if it’s what you most want to do it can end up the last thing on your list. This is true whether you get paid to make your art or not. All of us rely on support to pull things through, to dig deeper, to sustain the discomfort of not knowing, to take seriously the shaping and fine-tuning. After supporting many astrology clients this way in our sessions, I’ve decided to make it a dedicated offering.
If you can make the time, I can help you develop your tools.
You bring your creative aspirations and frustrations, I stay attuned to what you’re trying to make and how to best do it. We may explore what your birth chart says about your creative talents and blocks, and we may use timing techniques to pinpoint what’s arising for you right now and how to meet it. Each session is a custom fit for you, so what you most need will guide us.
