Dear Creative Soul,
I want you to know yourself as the worthy creator you are, as someone gently guided through the next right steps, and as a joy-fueled creative who confidently makes the changes she wants for herself. I want you to know yourself as someone who loves what and how and why she creates and who thinks and feels exactly how she wants to!
To walk your singular path of creative expression confidently isn’t about getting good at all the things other say you need to be good at doing. It's about cultivating an unshakable self-trust that your curiosity is worth exploring and your ideas are worth expressing.
What you want to create matters and I care a whole lot about helping you move the roadblocks that keep you from creating with pleasure and deep satisfaction.
As a creativity coach, I love working with artists who value their own creativity and growth enough to be open to the questions that lead them to their own deepest knowing. I love working with people like you who are willing to question how it’s “supposed” to be done until you connect with the creative fire that’s truly and uniquely you. Sustainable creativity coaching is less about giving you a checklist and more about helping you discover and create your own map to joy.
Amazing, right? I’m here to help you create that for yourself.
Testimonials
Why Have a Creativity Coach?
If I'm supposed to trust my own intuition, why would I need a coach?
BECAUSE THE RIGHT COACH WILL:
show you where you are tripping yourself up, throwing up your own roadblocks, or keeping yourself stuck
stretch and challenge you a safe and intentional way through structure, guidance, motivation and accountability
help you see where your thoughts distort your perception of what’s possible for you
help you establish congruence between your feelings, dreams, and actions to be more balanced in service of your creative fulfillment
help you eliminate “creative blocks” for more satisfying work
help you transform what feels like your worst + your weaknesses to strengths that help you create what you want
and, most importantly, guide you to finding your own answers to your own questions
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FOLLOWING THE STEPS SOMEONE ELSE ASSURES YOU WILL RESULT IN YOUR CREATIVE CONFIDENC (because it resulted in theirs) AND KNOWING HOW TO LISTEN FOR THE UNIQUE STEPS THE UNIVERSE IS ASKING YOU TO TAKE FOR YOUR JOY AND CREATIVE CONFIDENCE. ONE ON ONE COACHING WILL HELP YOU DETERMINE WHAT YOU WANT TO CREATE NEXT AND TO DEVELOP A PLAN FOR HOW YOU’RE GOING TO DO IT.
THROUGH 1:1 COACHING I WILL HELP YOU:
learn how to know and own what you want to create so that you never doubt yourself ever again.
learn how to take right actions on those decisions so that you can savor the satisfaction of purposeful action.
learn how to clear all the unhelpful questions and uncertainty so that you can thrive in all seasons of your creative life.
learn how to make really soul-honoring decisions so that you can trust your wisdom to guide you truthfully.
If you’re ready to make the art you want to make with a ton of joy and a whole
lot more confidence than you’ve ever had, schedule a session with me today!

Coaching With Me Will Help You Thrive If:
You want to honor your unique version of creativity but aren’t sure how.
You’ve taken a ton of art classes and you feel guilty for not doing anything with what you’ve learned.
You want to confidently create work that matters to you, free from excuses and head games and comparison.
You don’t know exactly what you want to create or how to create it with confidence.
You’ve invested so much heart and soul into your creative work and you still don’t feel satisfied.
You’ve poured a heap of money, hope, and time into courses that promised to help you find your authentic voice but you still don’t know what your style is.
You want to establish life-long discernment skills for future creative evolution.
You aren’t sure if you can trust your gut and you really, really, really want to.
You want to know what steps to take next and how to continue knowing how to discern the steps you’ll need to take moving forward
You struggle to find balance between making something amazing happen and allowing something better to happen.
Purpose, peace, and confidence aren’t things you’ll find “when...” They are conditions you can create even as your certainty of your path is unfolding. They are in you, around you, and through you.
Aren’t sure what your goals are?
That’s where a good coach can partner with you to create some mind-blowing magic. The best goals are the ones that start with letting yourself want what you want. From there, I will ask soul-shaking questions that will bust through any perceived road blocks keeping you from creating and following through on the plan you and I will create that will make your creative ecstasy inevitable.
If your creativity is nudging you to be whole and expressed, you deserve to know the perfect combination of possibilities that is YOUR unique expression. You deserve to know what and how to create what will bring the most joy and satisfaction.
Coaching With Me Is Not:
Technical business coaching (though you are very likely to get some potent clarity about what to do and not do for your creative business specific to you).
Therapy or counseling (I am not licensed nor am I an expert in all the nuances of the the way the mind works).
Technical art training (though I’m absolutely thrilled to give you guidance on the materials I work with and to help you build a body of work that you’er really proud of).
An open door for complaining and looping in your limitations (I’ll listen wholeheartedly…and then redirect firmly and clearly when the story starts looping).
Stephanie is incredibly intuitive and a natural mentor. As a gifted listener, she is uniquely able to distill what she has heard into valuable, credible insight. Her values-centered guidance challenges others to think beyond just “finding their passion” and focus more on cultivating a vision to capitalize on one’s strengths and growth potential beyond what the status quo says is possible. The strategies and wisdom she provides inspires and motivates others to live a life congruent with their creative stirrings. She skillfully helps people manage their current situation while pursuing a new one, and maintaining a calm faith in the messy middle. Stephanie is truly one-of-a-kind, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for an intuitive, sincere, and deeply passionate guide.
