Coaching for Artists

Authentic Self Coaching offers scholarships to artists who struggle with a bully in their head that keeps their masterpieces in the ideation phase. Let go of limiting beliefs and old stories that keep the noisy language of fear, criticism, or imposter syndrome in circulation.

Through powerful questions, activities, and playful experiences, explore what changes you want to make to these old stories and habits so you can access your inner muse and act on inspiration.

Because you think non-traditionally, I offer coaching techniques that use pictures, music, movement, and other non-verbal modes of expression to explore what’s keeping you off balance. You will have a safe place to play with ideas and new perspectives free of noise and judgment of the inner critic. Move it forward!
