Using specific mindful movement techniques with the intention to meet a specific goal you will be able to explore tailor made topics. For example, you would like a new career, but are unsure of the steps to include in the process. We would locate areas of the process, name them (fear, education, opportunities, transportation etc.) and inject them into our bodies to explore. What does fear feel like in our body and how can we move in a way that relieves the fear or holds the fear with compassion and fluidity? When listing different job opportunities, how does your body respond? Is your body stuck when you think about working in a specific career? Is there more space in your body when you talk about your passion?

Through Role Theory in drama therapy, we will look at the role repertoire in your life which will help you identify which roles can differentiate areas of your life and roles that are getting in your way. Through role play, scene work and other drama techniques, you will have the opportunity to deeply investigate a situation or topic from a new perspective. For example, your dream is to do a Ted Talk about the topic you are passionate about. Together we would create the speech, set the stage, embrace the role and fully embody the experience of the Ted Talk. Embodying your topic in this theatrical way will help you make the experience a reality.

Using a wide array of artistic media, the artistic process will define and visualize feelings, ideas and motivations. You will tap into your unconscious, work through trouble spots and create new possibilities that you can see and share for inspiration and motivation.

Music is the key to the soul. It unlocks parts of ourselves that remain hidden. In those places we learn the most about ourselves and often become the great teacher to our experience. Whether we use it as a background to support discussion and to build a plan, or to create a playlist of music to help you feel empowered and reach specific goals, music is an effective tool towards getting what you want and reaching your potential. Think of the song “Gonna Fly Now '' from the movie Rocky. Music helps us get going and inspires us to accomplish our goals. It reminds us that we can do it! Music and movement will open pathways that might be blocked and inspire you to stay in the flow, achieving abundance instead of pushing or grasping for what you want.

Great change and accomplishment can be seen through utilizing a comedic approach. Having the opportunity to write a stand-up act or perform the piece with the support of a creative coach will not only increase confidence and resilience, but will also build towards the goals that you envision for yourself. Laughter and comedy increase our life span and strengthen our immune systems. With a light and fun approach, you will be able to manifest a plan that comes from a place of joy rather than stagnation.

Applying a holistic, creative and strength-based process that involves specific organization of goals and objectives through drama, comedy, art, movement, discussion, writing and stories, we will draft a plan and identify ideas, targets and activities that help you meet your personal goals.

Together we will look at stagnant areas, where you can let go and make room for new opportunities and possibilities. A creative approach will help you fully embrace where you might be holding back in life and offer insight on how to move forward. Getting out of the chair and headspace and into a creative and expressive place to move, practice and try out new situations, you will have the opportunity to practice where you want to be and who you want to be. The creative process connects you to the unconscious parts of self that hold meaningful information in your experience that will allow new aspects of yourself to emerge.

We will explore what you need to change through artistic modalities which will help you fully embrace your unknown self and take steps towards deepening your life’s purpose. As a fellow traveler in your journey, I will offer you unconditional positive regard, support and accountability. With a Creative Coach you will set realistic goals, create permanent change, yield positive results and achieve success.
