This is for you if…
You are still not working on your projects.
Still not creating what is in your heart.
Still answering to someone else’s call rather than your own.
Still not leading the life you imagine.
Still not following the unique call on your life.
Come explore with us…
What is standing in the way?
Why is it so hard?
Let me walk you through a process of creating real change. Let’s uncover the path to a vibrant, passionate and creative life that can be yours.
Let’s take a look deep inside to see what is blocking you from creating the compelling and stimulating work of your dreams.
Together we will explore the building blocks necessary to a healthy creative lifestyle.
We will take some time to look inward to help unleash your passion that is simmering right below the surface.
Start connecting the dots of your emotional, spiritual and creative needs to help you take the next steps in your journey.
And, the best thing…we will use art as the pathway for this discovery process.
