Creative Support Sessions are my 1:1 offering to help you craft a balanced, authentic approach for your creative dreams. These advising sessions are available to anyone who would like to regularly engage with their creativity, whether they are full-time artists or forever 9 to 5ers.
During our hourlong sessions, we will work to identify your time and energy constraints, integrate tools and frameworks to overcome resistance, and discover how to apply specific strategies to befriend your creative ideas with curiosity.
To get started, schedule a free consultation with me using the link below. During our call, I will get a better understanding of you as a human and artist as well as where you'd like to go in your creative journey. You will walk away with a clear picture of how we will work together to craft the creative life you desire.
"Carolyn is such an inspiring creative coach. She is able to break down insurmountable creative projects into smaller bite-sized tasks that seem way more manageable. Over the course of our sessions together, every session I had a different emotion or outside stressor I was dealing with, and Carolyn was able to deftly advise and give clear perspective and next steps. I feel a lot more at ease and satisfied with the work that I'm putting out with her help!"
