Creativity Coaching
Feeling stuck in your creative life?
- Silenced by outside criticism or negative self-talk
- Sitting with writer’s block
- Struggling to find artistic energy in the midst of family life
- Feeling depressed after a creative setback
- Uninspired in your choice of subject or material
- Self-sabotaging at a crucial point in the process
Creativity coaching can help!
Are you tired of going it alone?
People who don’t create are often bewildered by us. Our work has been labeled as everything from cute hobby to vanity project to even selfish obsession.
Modern culture isn’t particularly supportive of the creative life. And our work calls us to deep and sometimes dark places. It can be all too easy to let the excuses overpower the reason we started making art in the first place.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have someone come alongside you on that path?
You could stop feeling guilty about being stuck and get busy making your art.
Are you ready to make big changes in your creative life?
Book your free clarity call to see if we are a good fit for creativity coaching.

- Release procrastination and perfectionism

Creativity coaching with Joy was an unexpected highlight of last fall. In recent years much of the art I am involved in creating is that of my children and students. Joy helped me re-focus on my own art while balancing being a working parent. She is positive, empathic, encouraging, and helpful. I highly recommend taking Joy on as a creativity coach!
How does creativity coaching work?
Contact me to set up a free 20-minute Zoom call. Coaching is personal, so the right fit is important!
Once your call is scheduled, I’ll email you 3 questions to answer beforehand that will fill me in on your project and interests.
You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and get clear on the best services for meeting your goals.

How you’ll feel in the process
You can feel:
- More productive
- More motivated
- More inspired
- More ease in your process
- More delight and a greater sense of meaning in your work
… If you commit to doing the work
When I was in driver’s ed, my instructor’s motto was an acronym that sounded like “yoga whippy.”
You Get Out What You Put In.
Clunky, for sure, but I’ve never forgotten it. As with driving, the outcomes of coaching depend entirely on what you’re able and willing to invest in the process.
Powerful shifts in mindset and habit are possible through coaching if you are ready to open up to new ideas and engage with the work.

Yes! Help me get creating!
A coaching programme with Joy gave me new perspectives on my creative projects. We exchanged on time management, setting priorities, writing tools and more. I especially enjoyed her positive approach and that she searched for concrete ideas to fit my situation.
