How to Know if My Approach to Creativity+Health Coaching Is Right for You
For writers, artists, and thoughtful professionals navigating creative change
You’re creative. You’ve built practices before. You’ve kept going through difficult seasons. But now something’s off. The work feels different. It feels distant. You aren’t sure what’s shifted, only that your usual ways of working no longer fit.
If that sounds familiar, you might be wondering whether creative coaching could help. Maybe you’ve seen people talk about it, but you’re not sure what it actually involves or whether it’s for someone like you.
This is a guide to help you find clarity.
Creativity+Health Coaching Isn’t Just for Beginners
Creative coaching is often misunderstood. It’s not about making art for the first time or learning how to be more disciplined. The kind of coaching I offer is for people who already care deeply about their work but are navigating something that makes showing up feel harder than it used to.
It might be illness.
It might be burnout.
It might be perfectionism, grief, or a shift in identity.
It might be that you’ve grown, but your creative habits haven’t caught up.
In my work, creative coaching is a conversation. It’s a place where we look at what’s present for you (emotionally, physically, relationally, creatively) and uncover what’s true, what’s still useful, and what might need to change.
What Creativity+Health Guidance Can Offer
Depending on your situation, a coaching session can help you:
Name what’s getting in the way of your creative connection
Reframe internal narratives around productivity or success
Design creative rhythms that reflect your actual capacity
Identify where trauma, stress, or masking may be influencing your process
Recover motivation without relying on pressure or guilt
Create safety in your work again
In my practice, I use a creative wellness framework I developed over years of lived experience and research. It looks at six key areas where health can shape your art: your creative process, your productivity, your choice of medium, your content, your self-perception, and the sustainability of your practice.
This framework is not diagnostic. It is reflective. We use it to notice patterns without judgment and to find strategies that support the way you actually work, not the way you think you should.
A Different Approach to Creative Support
My sessions are grounded in a few core principles:
Your body and nervous system are part of your creative process
Your energy is valuable and not always consistent
Your relationship to your work deserves as much care as the work itself
Your lived experience is not a distraction from creativity but instead is the context for how it shows up
We look at how mental health impacts creative process, productivity, medium in your own life and how you may want to work with that.
I am not a licensed therapist but I bring a background in psychology, expressive arts, and narrative practice. I also bring the perspective of someone who lives with chronic mental health conditions, who understands what it means to have good weeks and hard ones, and who respects the complexity of being a creative person in a real and changing life.
Is This for You?
Here are a few signs creative coaching might be helpful:
You’re in a period of creative disconnection and don’t know why
You’ve been trying to push through, but it’s only making things worse
You are grieving something, even if you haven’t named it yet
You’ve changed, but your creative systems have not
You want to create again, but you don’t want to do it the old way
You don’t have to be in crisis. You don’t have to be blocked. You might simply be ready for a different kind of support—one that doesn’t treat your art like a problem to fix, but a relationship to tend.
What a Session Looks Like
We meet for 60 minutes over Zoom. You fill out a short intake form before we talk so I can get a sense of where you are. You can bring questions, confusion, fatigue, or silence. You are not expected to perform.
During the session, we look gently and honestly at where you are and what matters most right now. You leave with clarity, language, and often a small, sustainable next step.
This is not productivity coaching. This is not therapy. This is creative space built for where you are now, not where you think you should be.
Book Your Session
Sessions are held over Zoom, with alternative formats available (email/text-based coaching for those who prefer it).
Don’t see a time that works for you? Send me an email and we’ll work something out.
You don’t need to earn this kind of support.
You are allowed to ask for it just because you want to stay close to your creative self.
