Creative Spirit Awakening

Specialties

I help frustrated artists and creative visionaries to unblock and enjoy creating again without feeling alone, overwhelmed or burnt out.

I offer my signature, 3-​month program, Creative Spirit Unleashed in two ways

1) Private Creativity Coaching

2) Group Creativity Workshops*

* Run in partnership with UCLArts & Healing and the Santa Monica YWCA.

CSU is for people who are looking to

* Move through creative blocks in a FUN, playful & experiential way

* Start creating (writing, acting, painting, storytelling, photographing, etc.) AGAIN or for the very first time

* Be held accountable by a safe, supportive creative community

* Dream BIG yet take small, gentle, practical steps

* Use the creative process to help with major life transitions such as death of a loved one, break-​up of a relationship, loss of a job or recovering from an illness

Starting in 2014, I will be launching Creative Spirit Embodied for folks who want support with continuing or completing a specific creative project
