A relationship-centered alternative to traditional coaching for artists and writers in transition
There are many options for creative support. Some focus on structure and accountability. Others emphasize productivity or performance goals. What I offer is something different.
This is support rooted in awareness. It honors your body, your creative process, your mental health, and your energy. The work is slow, reflective, and designed to hold what traditional coaching often overlooks.
If you have been trying to create something meaningful while also navigating illness, burnout, grief, or emotional change, this approach may be the kind of care you have been seeking.
Here are ten signs that working together could be a good fit.
1. You are not looking for accountability. You are looking for alignment.
You have already tried pushing through goals. Maybe you even reached them. But something still feels off. You don’t need someone checking your deadlines. You need someone helping you reconnect with what actually matters to you now, so that your creative life begins to feel honest again.
2. You have tried conventional productivity tools and they do not work for you.
Bullet journals, time blocks, habit trackers, and apps may have failed you or never quite fit in the first place. You are not unmotivated. You have a body or mind that works differently. You want guidance that respects your reality and helps you build a process that works with you instead of against you.
3. You are grieving.
Grief alters your relationship with your art. Your voice may feel muted or too raw to access. You do not want to be pushed through it. You want someone who can sit with the grief, make space for it, and help you carry it creatively, without pressure or expectation.
4. You feel creatively blank instead of blocked.
There is a difference between resistance and disconnection. You are not stuck in the usual sense. You feel numb. You look at your materials or screen and feel nothing. You are not in crisis, but you are not okay either. You are ready for someone to meet you there and help you gently begin again.
5. You have been calling yourself lazy, but you suspect that is not the full story.
You have absorbed language that makes you feel like a failure. But deep down, you sense something else. You may be in a freeze state, emotionally overwhelmed, or unconsciously protecting yourself. You want a space where you can explore this with honesty and care.
6. You have outgrown your own expectations.
The routines that once helped you are no longer a fit. You are not trying to be the person who created every day without pause. Something in you has changed, but your creative systems have not caught up. You want to work in a way that reflects who you are now.
7. You are a helper or therapist who wants to reconnect with your own creativity.
You know how to hold space for others. You do it every day. But your own creative voice has been set aside. You want a space where you can receive support, where your needs and your stories matter just as much as the people you care for.
8. You care more about sustainability than output.
You are done chasing volume. You want a practice that lasts, one that supports you through illness, fatigue, or change. You want to work when you can and rest when you need to, without guilt. You are ready to define success on your own terms.
9. You feel creatively alone.
Maybe the people around you do not understand. Maybe they talk about goals and deadlines, but never the emotional side of making things. You want to be in conversation with someone who understands the quiet, the isolation, and the complexity of the creative process.
10. You want support that is soft, smart, and real.
You are not looking for hype. You are looking for honesty. You want to be asked thoughtful questions. You want to work with someone who sees your full self … not just the artist, not just the output, but the whole person behind the practice.
This is the space I offer. We begin wherever you are. We talk about what is real … your health, your nervous system, your fear, your fatigue, your desire. We move from there.
