What is CREATIVE coaching?

Creative coaching is the combination of guidance, strategy, implementation, accountability and encouragement. It focuses on nurturing your creativity so that you can put a plan in place to create, manage and share your passion — be it a business, writing project, podcast or other creative endeavor.

Why do I need a CREATIVE coach?

If you're ready, willing and able to prioritize and explore your creativity now, a coach can be a valuable creative, strategic and implementation partner. A creative coach can help you:

  • Identify your creative genius and how to nurture it;

  • Focus on a specific project;

  • Challenge your thinking and encourage you to take action;

  • Design actionable, manageable plans so that you’re actively engaged in bringing your project to life; and

  • Learn how to best share your unique POV and expertise.

Who do you work with? 

I work with women living with health limitations (chronic pain, chronic illness and mental health challenges).

I am selective about which projects I take on, so if you are interested in working together, send me a note.

Why do you focus on women living with health Limitations?

As a woman living with chronic illness myself, I know how demoralizing health limitations can be. Your confidence is shattered and you don’t know how your health limitations and ambition can peacefully coexist. This can be a lonely experience, but you’re not alone and you don’t have to do it alone.

Because my mission is to help women become stronger storytellers and advocates of the incredible work they're doing in the world, I want to help women living with health limitations rebuild their confidence and go after what they most want on their own terms.

What is your working style?

My working style is collaborative and personal. I treat my clients as I would a dear friend: with understanding, kindness and compassion, but with doses of focus and tough love, as needed. I’m here to help you achieve your goals and will hold you accountable to meet that end. I want you to feel comfortable in our relationship so that you can get exactly what you need to feel good about yourself and ready to go after your dreams.

I'm located outside the u.s. Can I still work with you?

Yes! I work with clients from around the world.

How will we work together?

The 1:1 Creative Coaching Intensive is conducted virtually over Skype or FaceTime (whichever you prefer). After you purchase your intensive, you’ll be guided to my online calendar to schedule your first session.

Once I have received confirmation of our booked session, I will email you a 2.5-page PDF questionnaire to introduce your desires, goals and challenges, as well as what you'd like to focus on in our work together. I use "The Burning Questions" from Danielle LaPorte's The Fire Starter Sessions. You'll complete this questionnaire and send it back to me before our first Skype/FaceTime date. 

Project plans will be shared as PDFs. Any assigned homework will be shared via editable PDFs or Typeform. Any written work will be shared and evaluated in Microsoft Word or Google Docs. 

And you and I will communicate regularly via email.

None of your available dates/times work for me. Can we still work together?

Absolutely! Just send me an email with three (3) convenient date/time options and we’ll coordinate accordingly. Keep in mind that my time zone is EST.

How long will we work together on a one-on-one engagement?

We’ll work together for at least two months or at most six months.

What can I expect as a result of working together?

As a result of our work together, you can expect to feel capable, creative, strategic and empowered.

  • You’ll have the tools to help you conquer your self-limiting beliefs whenever they rear their ugly heads.

  • You’ll have more patience and flexibility to work with your limitations, and to recognize that they’re not the enemy of your ambition.

  • You’ll have proven to yourself just how creative and capable you are with your weekly homework assignments and work directly related to your project’s progress.

  • You’ll have a clear plan for how to continue working on your project, so that you’re always taking a step forward but without the need for the 24/7 hustle.

  • You’ll have clarity on how to use your voice and POV to create compelling content.

  • You’ll have the confidence to know that you can live life on your own terms and create a life you love.

What is it like to work with you?

Working with my clients is a serious privilege that I honor by bringing high doses of professionalism, kindness and fun into the mix. You can see what my clients have to say about working with me here.

Will we have a contract?

Yes. After your confirmed purchase, I will send you my client service agreement.

What methods of payment do you accept?

PayPal is my payments portal, so you can make your payment using your debit or credit card, or directly from your PayPal account.

If you have any specific questions or concerns regarding payments, send me a note.

What is your refund policy?

Once you’ve made your payment for one of my services or digital products, your payment is nonrefundable. But I should add that I've never had a client ask for a refund. I'm confident that if you're ready to work with me, you'll be 100% satisfied by the results. 

However, life happens. So if after payment you need to reschedule our engagement for any reason, I will absolutely work with you to find the most convenient date to get started.
