Creative Coaching

for Magical Minds

Gentle guidance, imperfect action, and compassionate accountability for artists, makers, and multi-passionate creatives.

Your creative mind doesn’t work like everyone else’s - and that’s a gift.

But it can also feel like:

  • Overthinking every decision before you even pick up the brush or pen

  • Starting big projects… then stalling out from perfectionism or self-doubt

  • Wanting to create consistently but constantly battling “all or nothing” energy

  • Feeling guilty for resting, restarting, or ghosting your creative work

You don’t need another productivity hack. You need coaching that understands how your Magical Mind works and helps you move forward with compassion, integrity, and a little bit of accountability.

Kind Words

“I can conquer anything."

Taking Katie's classes has helped me tremendously with my confidence in opening up and taking chances. Being a part of a wonderful community has helped me a lot with not only my confidence but also my depression. Creating art and or working on writing helps me a lot. When I create by writing or making some kind of art I'm in my happy place. Feel very happy and free like I can conquer anything.
