what is holistic art coaching?

let’s break it down!

Holistic: The belief that the parts of something are interconnected and can be explained only by reference to the whole.

Art: Something created with imagination and skill and that is beautiful or that expresses important ideas or feelings.

Coach: Someone who partners with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Coaching often unlocks previously untapped sources of imagination, productivity and leadership.

How it works:

  • Orient Yourself.

    Our first step is to determine where you are, in this moment of your life. Together, we identify what is working and what isn’t. We hone in on the parts of your life that feel difficult, or “off,” and discover why they don’t feel right. We identify what you don’t want anymore, so you can get what you do want.

  • Get Specific.

    We work together to determine what you’d like to focus on. If you’re not exactly sure what that is right now, don’t worry! I use techniques to evoke awareness of your authentic self, and find the starting point that feels right for you. I work with you to make sure this work stretches your boundaries, but stays true to you.

  • Dive Deep.

    Using art, the wisdom of your body, guided visualizations, and thought work, we’ll get to the answers that are buried deep. You’ll figure out what you truly want, what is holding you back, and what you envision for a better future. You’ll start building a life that is right for you, rather than the life society says you “should” have.

  • Turtle Steps to Fulfillment.

    The key to success is taking consistent tiny turtle steps— steps so manageable, you can’t fail. Each session, we look back at where you were, look ahead to where you’d like to go, and make adjustments as needed. One turtle step at a time, you create a meaningful life you love!
