Revive your creativity

Imagine a creative practice that is both disciplined and pleasurable, satisfying and joyful.

I’m here to help you make the creative life you want.

“Sarah’s approach, which helps writers get outside themselves and learn to see what’s on the page (and what’s missing), is truly one of a kind. It’s a way of showing you yourself.”

— Serena Simpson

Here’s who I’ve coached:

  • People starting a creative practice or project but don’t know where to begin.

  • Published novelists who are adapting to a new life condition or challenge.

  • Parents juggling care-taking, work, and creativity.

  • Poets who are writing and developing fiction or non-fiction manuscripts.

  • Working writers who feel stuck or uninspired.

  • People who want to take their creative hobby to the next level.

  • People who want to rediscover the pleasure of their long-practiced artistic discipline.

  • People who haven’t picked up a brush, a musical instrument, or a pen in twenty years—but want to.

You already shine! Polish that brilliance.

Get in touch with your desires and your artistic sensibilities.

What do you love? What inspires you to create? We’ll start by identifying your desires, values, worldview, aesthetics, self-care needs, and goals. I’ll use a questionnaire with creativity exercises to design your coaching sessions.

Uncover your challenges.

Through inquiry and active listening, our session will allow you to define the challenges you’re facing in your creative life. Once we know what those are, we’ll collaborate on strategies that allow you to redirect your energy in a way that is purposeful and aligned with your goals.

Tap into your joy.

Engage with your creative practice in a way that is refreshing, pleasurable, and open. You’ll receive innovative creativity exercises and accountability goals personalized for your life and desires.

Find endurance in creative devotion.

When you make something that you love, it’s easier to commit to a long-term creative practice or project. You’ll learn how connect your artistic work to your worldview and values so that you can support your creativity for the long-term.

The rate for a coaching session is $85 for forty-five minutes.

If you book three sessions, the rate is $65 per session.
