“creative living … is living a life that is driven more strongly by curiosity than by fear.”

Creativity Coaching
Enhancing your craft
Overcome barriers to your creative process, expand your skills, and develop your artistic and humanistic talents with creativity coaching. As writers, visual artists, musicians, performers, entrepreneurs, researchers, and creatives of all kinds, we sometimes find ourselves feeling “blocked” or procrastinating. We benefit deeply from creative community and skilled coaches to inspire us to think divergently, invite deeper levels of flow, shift mindset, and use our natural creativity to build our skills and develop supportive ways of working on our passions.
What to Expect
Whether you are looking to invite wellness into your life through creative living or enhance your craft with creativity coaching, all sessions assist you in accessing your subconscious or the collective unconscious through your own creative, regenerative resources. Some beautiful ways to explore and build intuitive connection are hypnosis, dreamwork, image guidance, and expressive arts. These practices can all be combined in wonderful varieties of ways!
Hypnosis
Have an emotional or mental block that is holding you back from reaching your goals, a habit that is problematic for you, a skill you want to improve, or a physical issue you want to better understand or ease? In this session, you will be guided into an inward-focused state and then utilize the power of your subconscious mind to develop deeper insight, overcome fears, change limiting beliefs, improve skills, gain a sense of relief from overpowering sensations, change behavior, live by your values and/or find balance. Hypnosis is a natural altered state of consciousness involving focused attention, which occurs every day when you do things like read or watch a movie. When in this state, you are still aware and in control, just less distracted and more open to connecting to your Intuitive Self. Casey has over 530 hours of hypnosis training and will customize your session to assist you in addressing your challenges by accessing your healing powers within.
Dreamwork
Have a dream that captured your curiosity? Perhaps it felt meaningful, brought up strong emotions, left you perplexed, or simply was memorable. Your subconscious mind is communicating with you! In this expressive arts or hypnosis session, you will be guided in exploring the meaning held within your dream and use it for healing and growth.
Image Guidance
Wanting guidance for your life but not sure where to start? In this session, you will begin with intuitively selected images. Then you will be invited to explore the meaning the images hold for you through conversation, expressive arts, and/or hypnosis.
Expressive Arts
Expressive arts is a beautiful way of connecting with your subconscious Inner Guides through play. By eliciting intuitive and emotional material through visual art, movement, music, sounding, writing, or other media, the process of expressive arts elicits clarity and personal growth. Connecting different types of expressive arts in succession enhances the depth of subconscious and unconscious exploration. The creative process allows for the development of self-awareness, self-understanding , and insight, which leads to healing and higher consciousness.
“CREATIVITY IS A LIFE FORCE ENERGY THAT FLOWS LIKE A RIVER THROUGH EACH OF US. DAM IT UP AND WE BECOME PSYCHICALLY ILL, BLOCKED, AND PHYSICALLY STRESSED. The expressive arts offer a way to keep the river flowing. REAWAKENING OUR CREATIVITY LEADS US TO THE SPIRITUAL PATH.”
Natalie Rogers

Inner child healing
As children, we are naturally creative. We learn to hide this part of ourselves to feel accepted and get our needs met. The inner child healing process involves tracing a pattern in your life, releasing suppressed emotion, identify old beliefs and how they are affecting your life, and creating new beliefs to set you on a path toward greater alignment.
These are all invitations! It is always up to you what you choose to explore with.
Absolutely no art/music/dance experience necessary! We are all creative beings. We have only learned otherwise. These sessions will help you access your natural creative abilities and remove energetic and cognitive blocks.
Please bring at least two types of materials to work with for expressive arts sessions.
