Creative Advising is a one on one session that integrates intuition, guidelines for best strategies to meet your goals, unpacking creative blocks, and adding ease and joy into your practice!
Creative Advising is for full time artists, people who love their creative hobbies and have 9-5’s, small business owners, part time artists, artists who haven’t touched their craft in years, artists who interact with their craft every day but want to pivot to creating more income around their practice, and anyone who wants to live in more alignment with their creative attention.
Through a series of modalities and talking we will work through systems to integrate in your daily, weekly, and seasonal rituals and routines.
This is great for you if you’re starting at the beginning with naming a project or business, setting up a website, and launching a newsletter.
This is also for you if you’re ready to up-level, cross the six figure line, work on creating clearer systems for organizing and launching products, and how to work with a virtual assistant.
Common topics for visioning are : publishing and self publishing, visioning an online class, discussing fear and self loathing and how it relates to your practice, the sky is the limit
COST : Creative Advising is $225 and sessions are 60 minutes long. There is no need to buy a package or commit to many months as some traditional coaching sessions are structured. You are welcome to have sessions as often as once a month, many clients meet quarterly, others more often as they work through a bigger project with a deadline!
WHERE : Our session happens on Zoom with video and has closed captions - if you prefer to do audio only just let me know in the notes section when you check out
ENERGETICS OF THE SESSION : This is not therapy and I am not a therapist. I say this lovingly and to make sure when you sign up you understand that Creative Advising is facilitated through my specific lens as an artist with a BFA in Dance who has been self employed since 2013 with a career in shop keeping, residency facilitation, book writing, online teaching, and more! It is important that you show up to Creative Advising with your own tools as well as be open to me reminding you of the beautiful tools that you already have in your toolbox. Big feelings are welcome here! Stories of your past and current lived experiences and how it affects your creative practice, business visions, and personal life are encouraged. But understanding the clarity of the exchange before booking is important.
