Creativity Coaching + Life Coaching for Creatives

Live with Meaning, Purpose and Balance In a supportive, non-judgmental atmosphere coaching can help you:

Coaching can assist you to identify and manage life factors that may be pulling you away from creativity.
Perhaps your financial responsibilities are drowning out your creative voice. Perhaps work and family obligations are exhausting your energy. Perhaps an interpersonal conflict is depleting your focus. |
|
The power of coaching comes from enhanced self-knowledge.
Through using tools like the Enneagram, coaching can re-connect you to your creative core and illuminate the ways you block or dissipate your creative power. In this way coaching can inspire you, give you new skills, nourish your passion. |

When you create, you change the world.

Why use Coaching?
Growth and change inevitably includes struggle. Challenges arise as new ways of being and perceiving bump up to old ways of doing things, old ways of being with people, old ways of perceiving what is possible for ourselves and our lives. This is where coaching makes all the difference.
|
You can't see your blind spots. You can't see your assumptions. Your habits are invisible to you. Your fears hide in your subconscious. And your feelings just make a mess of everything. |
A life coach helps to make visible the invisible. A coach will catch you as you fall in to old ways of being and give you instant feedback, will keep you moving forward by helping you to maintain your inspiration and motivation, will help you navigate your relationships when the changes you are creating in your life begin to impact the lives of others, and will keep you living in choice as you create a life that is truly worth living.
There is no 1,2,3 process to leading a creative life. Each of us is unique. Each of our experiences and ways of being are unique, each of the ways we get in our own way are unique. A life coach partners with you to ease and quicken the journey toward your vision of a life well lived.
This is how I coach. Not as a bubbly cheerleader, but as a partner who befriends the highest part of you as well as the part of you that you have kept hidden away from the light; and as an accountability partner who is also your enthusiastic advocate along the road to wholeness.

Why work with me?
|
I became a certified life coach after I experienced the power of coaching for myself - it helped me to move from just thinking about how things could be better to actually changing my life. I just needed a bit of assistance in getting out of my own way and accountability to actually show up for myself. |
Certified Professional Integrative Coach
Read Ali's Bio

There is a magic that happens when working with a trained person through the act of engaging in dialog; hearing responses from another person to my own thoughts, perceptions and ideas; being directly challenged; and exploring through questions tailored to evoke an opening in my perspective.
This is why I became a certified professional life coach. I have experienced the power of coaching for myself and see that one-on-one or small group engagement is what is needed to move from just thinking about how things can be better to actually changing your life.
I am a Certified Professional Integrative Coach having graduated from an ICF certified program at the PCC level.
My life in the arts started with a BFA followed by a MA & MBA in Arts Administration. I received micro-entrepreneurial training and has run my own successful micro-business since 2002. I worked for a state arts council creating programming and oversaw their grant making process, and I have applied for her own artistic grants.
Creatively I have a background in photography, theater, performance art, ceramics and glassblowing, and am a published writer. I have some level of experience with most art forms.

"Through kindness and honesty, Ali gave me new perspectives on my art and the business that I am creating from it. She helped me organize my thoughts. - Ben, Chattanooga TN |
"I have become more outgoing and seen the benefits of putting myself out there. I think I’ve overcome some fears of meeting new people and potentially failing in front of them (in terms of my creative work). Ali helped me hone in on what my real problems were and helped me develop plans to confront them and change things for the better."
- Marc, Los Angeles, CA
"Ali helped me unearth some things that are probably obvious from the outside, but weren't to me. She asked the right questions, and said: Whoa, let's back up and listen again to something you just said. Which is what I needed."
- Rachel, Atlanta, GA
