Here’s the professional pitch:
Creativity coaching is a series of powerful conversations addressing the emotional, practical, and existential challenges of the artist’s life. My role is to support your growth by asking illuminating questions, actively listening and reflecting back what I hear, suggesting unseen connections, holding space for uncertainty, and offering focus and encouragement.
The answers you are seeking are already within you, within your unconscious mind, and so as you feel comfortable, we will work with dreams, synchronicities, active imagination, narrative, and other techniques to access deeper intuition.
And here’s my personal promise:
Whether you claim the title of artist, writer, performer, creative, maker, craftsperson, or none of these, I’m here to walk the path with you.
Whether you have a long CV of exhibitions/performances/publications, or have never even taken the first step of the creative journey, I’m here to walk the path with you.
Whether you are convinced you are too much or not enough of anything, I’m here to walk the path with you.
How to work with me:
Each of these offerings begin with a 75-minute deep dive conversation, either over Zoom or in my office in San Antonio, Texas, then continue with biweekly 50-minute sessions. Between sessions, I’ll be checking in via email or text (as you prefer) with journaling prompts, reminders, personalized meditations, or short readings. At the end of our time together, we’ll have an exit discussion reviewing what’s been gained, with recommendations for next steps.
A quick note: coaching is not critique. My goal is to encourage you to make your work with joy, assurance, and vulnerability. The effort alone is proof of its value.
The Spark
It takes three months to have a breakthrough - to shift that block, see the pattern, write the book proposal, discover your true creative persona, create a practice, go after a new opportunity. At the end of these 90 days, you will feel a foundation form beneath your feet, and the energy of a new fire burning within. Use The Spark to solve a specific problem and gain clarity quickly.
$2750 paid in advance, or three monthly payments of $1000.
The Launch
Incorporating the work of The Spark, The Launch begins with the breakthrough and then moves to the actual work, from planning to action. If you tend to hit resistance, procrastinate, change your mind midway, or make excuses to avoid your work, this is the accountability you need to start and stay strong. At the end of these six months, you will not only have your path laid out ahead, you’ll be confidently well on your way.
$5000 paid in advance, or six monthly payments of $950.
The Journey
The Spark, The Launch, and another six months of deep and dedicated support make up The Journey. Our creative practice ebbs and flows as we encounter obstacles, surprises, and even epiphanies. Once the shiny novelty of a new project wears off, a little dark night of the soul is almost inevitable. But it doesn’t have to derail you. The Journey ensures that you have someone in your corner and on call for reality checks, creative solutions, soulful reflection, humor and compassion. This is how you get to the other side.
$9750 paid in advance, or twelve monthly payments of $900.
