What Happens in a 1:1 Healthy Creativity Session?
Creative support for sensitive minds, shifting bodies, and untold stories
Maybe you’ve seen me mention my 1:1 creative conversation sessions.
Maybe you’ve wondered if they’re right for you.
Maybe you’ve quietly wanted support but didn’t know what to expect.
This post is here to answer those questions with transparency and care.
I offer creative wellness sessions for artists, writers, therapists, and sensitive people navigating creative life alongside chronic illness, neurodivergence, trauma, burnout, or identity transition.
This is not therapy. It is also not productivity coaching.
This is creative space. Spacious, thoughtful, trauma-aware.
It is built around the belief that you do not need to be fixed in order to return to your creative self.
Who I Work With
I work with:
Artists and writers who feel disconnected from their work
People with chronic illness trying to sustain a creative practice
Therapists, coaches, and helpers who want to reconnect with their own creativity
Neurodivergent creatives seeking systems that actually work for their minds
Anyone who feels like their creativity has changed because their life or body has changed
Some of my clients are working professionals. Others are just beginning to call themselves artists again. Some need help with creative rhythm. Others need permission to rest.
All of them want to stay close to their work in ways that feel honest and sustainable.
What Happens Before the Session
Once you book, I’ll send you a short intake form. This isn’t a deep dive. It’s a gentle check-in. You’ll tell me a little about where you are and what you hope for. I’ll also ask what’s felt difficult lately and what kind of support feels helpful right now.
If you don’t know yet, that’s fine. Many people arrive not knowing what they need. That’s part of the process.
What the Session Feels Like
We meet on Zoom, face to face (unless you require another option for any reason).
You don’t need to prepare anything. You just show up.
I will ask some questions. You can answer in whatever way feels natural. We might talk about your current projects or your relationship to your art. We might talk about fatigue, fear, identity, grief, or numbness. We might talk about the last time you felt connected to your voice.
I am not a licensed therapist but I am educated in expressive arts and narrative frameworks. I also draw from my work in craft and creativity research and my lived experience with mental health challenges. That mix allows me to listen for themes, patterns, and invitations. I don’t diagnose or direct. I guide, I direct, I validate, I invite curiosity.
In most sessions, we co-create a next step. That might be a small practice, a mindset shift, or a way of working that better fits your life. You leave with clarity and with a sense of having been truly heard.
What Clients Say
(These are paraphrased reflections shared with permission.)
“I’ve never felt more seen as a creative person navigating illness.”
“You helped me stop feeling like I was behind and start noticing where I actually am.”
“I’ve worked with coaches before. This was different. There was no pressure. Just space to return to my own rhythm.”
What the Sessions Are Not
They are not accountability calls.
They are not editing or critique sessions.
They are not therapy, though they may be deeply therapeutic.
They are a way to come back into relationship with your creativity when something has pulled you away.
How to Know If This Is for You
You do not need to be in crisis. You do not need to have it all figured out.
You might just want a thoughtful guide.
You might want help reclaiming your creative identity after a health shift.
You might want to write again and don’t know how to begin.
You might be burned out. Frozen. Overwhelmed. Or gently trying to come back.
If any of that sounds like you, I invite you to join me for a session.
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 do not have to earn creative support.
You are allowed to receive it just as you are.
