Coaching for Transformation and Support

Do you feel overwhelmed with your life while navigating the music industry? Do you yearn for a deeper connection in your career and personal life? Do you feel like you have lost that spark? Do you need a sounding board to help launch your dreams and goals? For many years I put my dreams on hold and didn't pursue a career in music out of my fears and insecurities. When I finally made those first steps, it was very liberating, but also extremely challenging. When I moved to Los Angeles at the end of 2013 from a small town, I had $450, a temporary place to stay, no job, but a big dream. Besides focusing on my dreams, I had to think about how to survive in a big unfamiliar city and my path took many twists and turns filled with achievements, defeats, heartaches and ultimately-transformation; which led me to offering my services as a coach.

Before I moved to Los Angeles, I was a coach for people with special challenges for three years where I discovered that I was an “idea” person and really enjoyed helping others. As they struggled with things that we all struggle with-looking for employment, housing, meeting educational goals, etc; I realized I enjoyed the process of gathering resources, motivating and thinking outside the box-three things I feel are the most important for artists these days. 

Now that I have been immersed in the music world here in Los Angeles for the last seven years, my passion has expanded in focus to supporting others on the music path. I have a passion for all aspects of the music industry and have learned so many new skills that have helped me along in my own journey, from being my own booking agent and booking several successful tours, to learning about technology and doing my own music videos, graphic design, recordings, publicity and more. Recently my focus has shifted to understanding the emotional path a musical entrepreneur takes and focusing on the arena of the healing arts in relation to flourishing on that path. I will use my experience and wisdom to be an active listener as you share your story, and my skills of research and action plans to help guide you on your way! Whether you need more concrete guiding or just someone to listen, I would love to speak with you about where you are at and where you want to go.

I currently offer a sliding scale of $30-85 dollars an hour. Sessions are in person or online, with a questionnaire to fill out prior that gives me some more info prior to our first session.
