This page will help you understand the kind of results you can expect to get from working with me and explains my guiding values.

Expected results

You will learn how to access your creativity at the source. We will transform your creative blocks by using body-mind exercises, processes and other tools that will help you notice and follow expressive impulses or “threads” that lead to new visions and insights.

You will develop body-centered skills for grounding and releasing pre-performance stress and tension. You will even learn how to use this tension to drop more deeply into the wellspring of artistic expression where your best performances come from.

You will get to recharge your creative batteries and expand your artistic expression. Through my organic and highly personalized model of coaching I will help you reconnect deeply with yourself, with spirit, and other sources of inspiration. From there I’ll help you explore and expand your expressive abilities and find new creative directions using voicework, embodiment coaching and creative dreamwork.

You will learn how to play in the creative and expressive process. You’ll get to enjoy making “mistakes” in the rehearsal process and take risks that you didn’t feel safe enough to take before. You’ll be able to blend the satisfaction of technical expertise with the joy of artistic exploration, and your performances will likely improve as a result.

You will achieve new depths in body-centered character development and become more aware of physical habits that prevent you from creating transcendent performance. You will get new insights into what’s missing in your embodiment skills and begin to develop these latent creative “muscles.”

You will be able to reclaim your artistic autonomy. You’ll develop your own creative instincts and decision-making skills if you haven’t yet, and will learn how to cultivate more friendliness and compassion toward yourself as an artist.

My Core Values

The following are a few of the principles that guide my work:

The body is an expressive tool, a resource, and a mirror of the psyche. Developing awareness off the body in the present moment and learning to notice, trust, and follow one’s expressive impulses are a key to artistic growth, in my opinion and experience.

I believe we all have creative and artistic potential, and that there is no end to our expressive development as individuals if we have skillful guidance and supportive witnessing in the creative process. More than ever, the world needs the transformative power of art and authentic self-expression to connect us and help us to reach our true potential as human beings.

Cultivating playfulness, exploration, and the ability to be in the present moment are central to my work. These “being” skills are as important to me as the “doing” skills of learning technique, practicing, and producing an artistic end result. Many people eschew being or play as waste of time, but I see them as skills that take effort and patience to master, especially in the modern world. I feel the best art often originates from these places.

Connecting with spirit and nature, wherever we are, can support and inform the creative process and its continued unfolding. I see nature, embodiment, and creativity as intimately linked, since nature is inherently full of creative intelligence and is part of our being down to our very cells.
