Coaching Program for Creative Visionaries
In On the Rise, a 6-month somatic coaching program, you’ll stop procrastinating on your destiny, create art on a daily basis and build the resilience to make this your full-time gig.
You’ve reached a point in your life where you just KNOW you’re meant to make art.
No matter how delusional it seems on paper, you know that it’s your destiny to be a visionary who changed the world with your creativity.
Life is short, and you’ve decided that wasting your days away at a 9-5 is NOT how you want to spend your time. You’d rather figure out how to make money through what you LOVE: your creativity.
And yet, you find yourself never having time, frustrated at your own perfectionism, and making art that feels bland and robotic... leaving you to think “what am I even doing? I’m not cut out for this.”
You’ve tried Bullet Journaling, the Pomodoro technique, the Eisenhower Matrix.
You’ve tried NaNoWriMo or following a 30-day songwriting challenge.
You ask your loved ones for encouragement and advice multiple times per week.
You’ve even been in weekly talk therapy in years and write your Morning Pages like your life depends on it. 😅
And all of this might lead to a burst of effort... but it only lasts for a few days, and then you’re back to envy-scrolling thru TikTok watching all your favorite performers crush it.
You’re DONE with this cycle and you’r ready to heal all the crap that’s gotten in the way of claiming what you know is yours.
What gives?!
I know this journey because I LIVED IT, frozen and procrastinating on my own destiny, for an entire decade.
I got my undergrad & masters in violin performance from an internationally renowned conservatory, and by the time I was out in the world gigging and teaching, I’d burned out because it wasn’t how I truly wanted to express myself.
After I got a 9-5 and told myself I’d work on my singing, songwriting & music production in the evenings, I found myself in constant procrastination mode (while I was simultaneously saying yes to extra work assignments and helping “friends” at the drop of a hat).
I was completely numb to my body and repeatedly tried to motivate myself through deadlines, pressure & willpower.
Finally, one day sitting practicing my vocal exercises at the piano, hating how I sounded— a switch flipped. I realized that I had to try something radically different.
On a whim, I signed up for a yoga teacher training program...
and entering into the world of the body, emotions and the energetic & spiritual realm BLEW MY MIND.
I began to see how lovingly paying attention to my body’s sensations, emotions & imagination helped me move energy through me. Melody ideas poured in. I completed whole verses of song lyrics in minutes.
Once I started viewing my body as the path to creativity, everything changed,
and led to what I now call...
FULL BODY ALIVENESS.
You’ve spent your artistic career analyzing and willpower-ing your way to success... and your next level, making art sustainably and joyfully, needs you to learn how to PLAY again.
Restoring your connection with your body’s sensations, emotions and your vivid imagination— exactly how you were when you were a daydreaming kid— is the thing that will crack you open and get your creativity back.
Imagine…
💫 Easily making time to work on your next song & work on building your singing skill for 30 mins every day.
💫 Playfully generating lyric ideas and making quick decisions about your music production arrangement, because you trust your instincts.
💫 Your own writing & music sending shivers up your spine, and you excitedly share at your next gathering with other creatives— not only do they mirror your excitement, their jaws drop as they say “omg this is a BANGER”
💫 Self-publishing your first novel, getting paintings placed in galleries, playing your first shows as a musical artist.
This explosion of creativity & energy is what’s possible when you bring your body back to life.
When I began doing somatic work, I went from numb and divorced from my own body…. to completely revolutionizing what I thought was possible for myself.
And my clients have gone from writer’s block to writing 20k words in a week, from barely practicing to performing multiple shows per month, and pivoting from podcasting to writing screenplays...
All while becoming the happiest and healthiest they’ve ever been.

Woohoo, welcome to the wonderful world of coaching! Here’s a little peek into what it’s like to work together.
BEFORE WE BEGIN: The VIP Kickoff session helps us overall goals for our coaching engagement, so that we get off to a speedy start.
WEEKLY SESSIONS:
— You’ll share your current situation, what you’d ideally like to figure out by the end of the session, and we’ll jump right in!
— Come to session with what’s REAL and ALIVE for you right now. You don’t need to “get it right” or worry about disappointing me; whatever state you’re in is exactly perfect.
— Although I’ll be offering a bunch of different tools & strategies to help you get clarity on your stuck places, YOU are in the driver’s seat - and I will ask you for consent before we move forward with a specific tool. I’m next to you, holding the map and showing you the roads we could take to get to your destination :-)
TELEGRAM: This is an app where we can send voice memos back and forth as well as texts, images, files etc. This is how we’ll stay in touch between sessions. You can reach out anytime for a question or update, and I’ll respond ASAP during business hours but within 48 hrs at the latest.

Depending on the way your particular mind-body-soul system best processes information, I my toolkit includes:
Medicine Somatics (techniques from movement arts therapies)
powerful questions
techniques from Somatic Experiencing
techniques from Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
visualizations
self-dialogue and parts work (IFS)
brainstorming, decision making & project planning frameworks
I received my coaching education through the Wayfinder Life Coach Training program, an ICF-accredited program led by Martha Beck. These tools have been tested and used by thousands of individuals to great success.
I have also trained extensively as a Body Temple Dance practitioner and am certified in Medicine Somatics, a cutting-edge modality steeped in movement arts therapies & gestalt work.

Most other approaches to mindset and habit change aren’t customized to you. When you show up for a coaching session or in Telegram, I meet you right where you are and we choose tools & approaches that will be maximally helpful to you.
Additionally, most other approaches also have the POV that if you fail, it’s because you’re lazy and you haven’t been trying hard enough. I DO NOT BELIEVE IN THIS. There’s always wisdom to your “falling off the wagon”. We’ll glean that wisdom and use it to help you move forward with more power and momentum.

Absolutely. Book a Discovery Call and I’ll guide you in listening to your inner wisdom to make the best choice for you.
Before then, here are a few questions for you to contemplate:
– What are the benefits of doing nothing?
– What are the costs of doing nothing?
– What are the costs of signing up for coaching?
– What are the benefits of signing up for coaching?
HI!!!
(I said that in my goofy voice… could you tell?!)
If you’re still here… I suspect that something in you is deeply curious about what coaching could do to help you make art every day and walk the path back to being an artist.
You might hear an inner murmuring such as “I want to believe in my own potential… I want to believe that I can grow…”, but feels doubtful or scared.
Share ALL THE FEELS with me in the application.
Applying does NOT commit you to moving forward in any way! After you apply, I’m happy to chat & help you discover what’s the most supportive thing for you right now— which could be working together, or maybe not!
If I feel that another offer of mine is a better fit, or another practitioner would support you more optimally at this time, I’ll be straightforward about it.
My commitment to you is that you’ll leave our conversation feeling GREAT about your decision to engage OR not engage in coaching.
Being in limbo sucks. Let’s get you the clarity you’re longing for.
