PRIVATE COACHING JOURNEY

The Creative Body

For artists moving through a season of creative rebirth, or ready to bring meaningful work to life.

RE-MEMBERING THE CREATIVE BODY

Our creative mind can be a brilliant creator, but it doesn’t have to lead alone. The body can ground, the heart can discern, and the spirit can remind us of meaning.

Too often, creativity is treated as a function of the mind alone: a place where ideas are extracted, measured, and executed. The result is a fractured process, and a fragmented creative life.

The Creative Body is a restorative space to enter in relationship with all parts of the creative body, where you open an intimate conversation between the devoted creative spirit, the perceptive heart and the imaginative mind.

PRIVATE COACHING FOR ARTISTS

The Creative Body

At the heart of this work is the idea of re-membering your creative nature. Artists know this story intimately: every time we betray our values for approval, we lose a hand. Every time we turn away from where our inner guidance is moving us, we lose our footing.

If you feel your creative hands or feet have gone still, if you’ve been moving to someone else’s rhythm, or if you want to learn to trust yourself again, this space was built for you. We'll work with the whole creative ecosystem: thoughts, emotions, body, imagination, relationships, and the stories you carry about what it means to be creative.

A guided rebirth for your creative life.

The Creative Body is an intimate coaching partnership that provides devoted guidance, deep reflection, and practical support for both the making and the meaning of your work.

  • A creative life doesn’t look one way. You don’t have to be a painter, poet, or musician to be an artist. If you view life through a creative lens, this partnership was designed with you in mind.

    Maybe you're feeling the pull of a creative life that doesn't yet have a clear shape. Maybe you're an active artist whose practice has started to feel a little too curated. Maybe you're just tired of spending as much energy fighting yourself as you do making things. Or perhaps you’re finally ready to bring that project to life.

    Feel free to read through past clients stories here.

    Note: Being an artist and monetizing your art are also two different things: you don’t have to be making an income from your art (or even want to) to benefit from this coaching partnership.

  • I guide artists and creatives to restore agency over their work, and honour both their inner world and the outer expression.

    Part of our work together will be to build a new relationship with your creative mind: to know when to let it expand freely, and when to gently guide it back into form. We’ll also invite the rest of you (body, heart, spirit) into the conversation. The mind can be a brilliant creator, but it doesn’t have to lead alone. The body can ground, the heart can discern, and the spirit can remind you of meaning.

    Our creative partnership is a space we’ll co-create around who you truly are (and where your weirdness, complexity and intensity are welcome!).

    My approach blends creativity coaching, therapeutic arts facilitation, somatic parts work, and mythopoetic inquiry to support self-literacy, creative expression, and forward movement.

    What we’re working toward

    The focus is your relationship with your creative work, your vision, your voice, your process, and the inner patterns that shape how you create, share, and keep moving. It’s a space to explore what is happening underneath the practical questions: what you want, what matters to you, what gets in the way, and who you are becoming through the work.

    • Building a more intimate, trustworthy relationship with your own creative mind

    • Re-membering your creative body and integrating all parts of your creative self

    • Cultivating devotion toward your vision and seeing projects through

    • Doing the inner work of becoming a clear channel for your creative work

    • Staying faithful to your creative expression

    • Navigating resistance with compassion instead of shame**.

    What this space is NOT for

    This isn’t a step-by-step program for building or growing a creative business. There won’t be content calendars, social media strategies, launch plans, business models, marketing formulas, or a roadmap for turning your creative practice into a business.

    Those things can certainly be part of the landscape of a creative life, and they may come up in conversation. But they aren’t the focus of this work.

    *This is not therapy, but it's not surface-level either; it's underground work for your creative life. I do not provide psychotherapy or diagnose or treat mental health conditions. What I offer is a compassionate, non-judgmental space to reconnect with yourself and move intentionally toward your creative life.

    **Much of what creatives carry is inherited: capitalism teaches us our worth is our output, patriarchal conditioning teaches us to distrust the intuitive and non-linear, and white supremacy culture teaches us there's one correct way to arrive at good work. Let’s reimagine this? ;)

  • This 4-month coaching partnership includes:

    • 1 × 30-min opening session

    • 6 × 60-min coaching sessions

    • Personalized follow-up notes, practices and tools.

    • Asynchronous support between session via email or Notion.

    Creative careers rarely follow a straight or predictable financial path, and our capacity can shift from season to season. This sliding scale gives you a few options so you can choose what feels sustainable for you right now. There’s no application, explanation, or proof required.

    • Emergent rate ($1800): For creatives with less financial room right now. You might be working with unpredictable income, between projects, grants, commissions or contracts, or simply in a season where a lower rate makes this support more accessible.

    • Sustainability rate ($2600): This rate reflects what allows me to sustainably offer this work over time. Choose it if you have the capacity to invest in your creative life without putting pressure on your essential needs.

    • Pay-it-forward rate ($3200): For creatives with more financial room who would like to help make this support more accessible to others. Choosing this rate contributes to the wider ecosystem of care and helps create more access for creatives with less financial capacity right now.

    All prices are in USD.

    Payment plans are available at no extra fee.

OPENING SESSION

A grounding moment to explore what’s art the heart of your creative season, set clear intentions and a core direction for our time together.

SESSION 1: CREATIVE landscape

We'll explore your relationship with creativity, the stories you've inherited about being an artist, and the ways you've learned to relate to your own creative mind.

SESSION 2: CREATIVE compass

Beneath the stories you've inherited about who you should be as an artist, there's something distinctly yours. We'll explore your values, recurring themes, desires and ways of seeing.

SESSION 3: CREATIVE KNOTS

The parts of us that hold back often have something to tell us. We'll explore the fears, the inner critic and protective patterns that have shaped your creative life, so you can make space for new ways of relating to them.

SESSION 4: CREATIVE practice

We'll get curious about what happens between having an idea and bringing it to life. Through making together, we'll identify what gets in the way, and experiment with the structures that help you move.

SESSION 5: open space

Creative rebirth rarely follows a straight line. We'll leave room for the unexpected: new directions, shifting desires, unexplored questions and what’s asking for attention.

SESSION 6: integration

We'll gather what has unfolded, reflect on what has shifted, and consider how you want to carry this relationship with your creative self forward.

My approach

  • Coaching is both directional and reflective. It's a process that helps you move forward, and inward. Through coaching, you are guided somewhere (toward a goal, a desire...), but also of being guided inward, deeper into the why. I do not have access to magical answers you don’t - I create conditions so you can more easily access them.

    Creativity is how I personally metabolize life. It’s the way I make meaning in this strange human experience. Maybe that’s how you see it too? Creativity is a life force, and because all things exist in duality, it’s inseparable from death. It is creation and destruction, making and unmaking. That’s what makes the creative process inherently cyclical and transformative. It asks you to become familiar with the void just as much as the breakthrough.

    My creativity coaching approach is centered around helping you stay present to the process of making something from nothing. I’m here to guide you toward your creative goals, but also (and perhaps more importantly) to support you in deep, relational work: expanding your capacity to be with the parts of the process that test you, stretch you, and ultimately reshape you. I’m here to support you not just in what you make, but in who you become as you make it

  • Therapeutic arts (sometimes called non-clinical art therapy or “art as therapy”) is a creative approach to emotional and personal growth. It’s a way to connect with the subconscious and explore your emotional landscape through visual art, movement, writing, sound, or other creative forms.

    I also love working with mythology and symbolism to explore aspects of our human experience that can feel difficult to access through the mind alone.

    My work is not clinical. I do not offer psychotherapy or art therapy, and I do not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. What I do offer is a compassionate, non-judgmental space to support emotional insight.

  • Somatic parts work brings together the idea that we’re made of different inner parts with attention to how those parts live in the body.

    You might recognize familiar labels like procrastinator, perfectionist, inner critic. Instead of seeing them as fixed traits, we’ll help you see them as parts that show up in distinct ways and serve a role.

    In creativity coaching, this means getting curious about how each part feels and moves in you, and opening a dialogue with it. Rather than fighting or overriding these voices, we get curious about their purpose, so your creative process becomes more collaborative.

  • Mythopoetic inquiry is a way of exploring our experiences through stories, myths, images, metaphors and imagination. It invites us to look at what's happening in our lives from a different perspective, to uncover deeper meanings and making space for new ways of seeing ourselves, our creativity and the world around us.

    In our work together, this might mean exploring a personal story, a myth or tale, an image, a dream or a metaphor that speaks to something you're navigating.

    We’ll draw from imagination, symbol, and myth as valid ways of knowing.

  • I hear you.

    Many coaching programs promote ideas I fundamentally disagree with: I don’t believe there’s something broken in you that needs fixing. I don’t think every challenge is a mindset problem. And if you’re struggling financially, it’s not always a “money block” or a manifestation issue.

    Too often, these spaces rely on high-pressure sales tactics and foster a culture of blame, telling people their circumstances are purely a reflection of their thoughts or energy. This oversimplification ignores the realities of systemic inequality, trauma, and the complexity of being human. I refuse to participate in a model that reduces people’s lived experiences to convenient, marketable soundbites.

    And, when practiced ethically, coaching is a truly powerful way to get clear on what's keeping you stuck and help you move forward. I truly believe in the transformative impact coaching can have.

    I do not hold a coaching certification by the ICF. Instead, I’ve chosen a different path. I’ve immersed myself in trauma-informed education, somatic parts work, therapeutic arts modalities and mythic frameworks: approaches that honour the richness and messiness of human experience. My focus is on meeting individuals where they are, and offering support that acknowledges their unique stories without resorting to one-size-fits-all solutions.

    I’m still learning, still questioning, and always choosing integrity over easy answers. Currently, I’m exploring the path toward certification as an art psychotherapist, a journey that will take many years!

A SPACE FOR CREATIVE REBIRTH

NICE TO MEET YOU, DEAR CREATIVE MIND

Meet your guide

I’m Pascale, your guide on the rebellious path of creative living. I help artists re-member their creative nature and channel their imagination in generative, liberating ways.

  • …my own creative mind is not always a peaceful place. As a fellow artist, I too experience firsthand the contrast between the healing, cathartic power of art and the paralyzing anxieties it can stir.

    From my own creative journey, and from guiding others professionally since 2019, what I know to be true is that creative flow never comes from forcing, pushing, rushing, or bypassing our inner truths.

    Creative flow unlocks when we chose to work with ourselves, rather than against ourselves. It finds us when we learn to be present with the unformed, and to move with the cyclical rhythms of our creative nature. (And I know, deep down, there’s a wise and wild part of you that already knows that.)

    When you're ready for a creative rebirth, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you as you begin to reclaim your uncolonized imagination, revitalize your creative life, and rediscover your own creative agency.

client stories

  • “Working with Pascale has been the best investment I could make as I stepped into the 'pathless path' of becoming a professional creative. Right from the start, I found her to be a wonderful listener; attentive, empathetic, and willing to meet me exactly where I was. Pascale has inspired me to believe in my creative identity while teaching me the compassion I need on days when showing up feels impossible. She taught me how to sit with discomfort and allow those waves to pass. Working with Pascale has been one of the most transformative engagements of my life, and I will always cherish it. I'm deeply grateful for Pascale’s guidance as I continue to inhabit and embrace my life as an artist.”

    — Rohan, patches in blue

  • "Working with Pascale was truly life-changing. She held me through an intense period of transition — leaving my corporate life and stepping into a new creative realm. I came in not fully understanding my own creative process, my rhythms, or the ways I was holding myself back. I needed help with the practical, organizational side of stepping into a creative journey, but also the more spiritual — rituals, connection, meaning. One of the biggest things she helped me with was seeing myself more clearly — my artistry, my ethos, what I make and why. She looked at my full body of work, helped me sort through my story, and held me as I wrote a new one. She also connected me with references, other artists, and a sense of community — reminding me that I'm not alone and that so much of what we worked on simply isn't taught anywhere. I would genuinely recommend working with her for anyone looking to prioritize their creativity — whether as a hobby or a profession. She helped me midwife a new journey and find the courage within myself to step into my calling. I really can't recommend her enough."

    - Kate Russell, Performance Artist + Experience Designer

  • “If you’ve been thinking about making a leap in your creative life, whether that’s returning to a creative rhythm or pursuing a long-desired but unknown path, I can’t imagine a better guide than Pascale to stand beside you in that process. Through her soft, balanced, yet potent approach, Pascale has a way of untangling the messy notes I scattered throughout our sessions, piecing the clues together, and revealing the hidden messages that were uniquely mine. She helped me recognize the creative patterns, instincts, and desires that were already there, but that I hadn’t fully trusted yet. Working with Pascale felt like wandering through unfamiliar terrain with someone who could notice the trail before I could. I often left our sessions feeling like we had arrived somewhere surprising, but also exactly where we were meant to end up. Through our work together, I learned so much about my own inner workings. I built more trust in my intuition, became more aware of what fuels my curiosity, and cultivated creative tools that I know will continue to serve me. The power Pascale brings is a fresh perspective that creates those quiet “aha” moments, while still celebrating what is most unique and true about you. Was this one of the best creative adventures I’ve been on? The answer is 100% yes.”

    - Angela Huang, Multidisciplinary artist

Begin with a single session

Not every creative season needs a long-term partnership. Sometimes, you just need a space to untangle something, talk through an idea, or have an imaginative thinking partner alongside you.

This one-off creative wellness session is a chance to pause, reset, and make sense of what's happening in your creative life. A space to hear yourself more clearly, find a new perspective, and move forward feeling more connected to your creative self.

  • This grounding creative coaching session combines guided meditation, somatic practices, therapeutic art exercises, and reflective conversation to support self-discovery and self-expression.

    Together, we explore how you think, create, and express, to help you better understand yourself, your patterns, and what may be standing in your way (and why). From there, we look for creative, compassionate solutions to the challenges you’re facing.

    Ideal for:

    • Exploring your personal creative identity, vision, expression and voice;

    • Brainstorming with someone who listens deeply, and gently decode your creative mind.

    • Creating space to reconnect with your creative energy and explore what you would love to create next;

    • Opening a thoughtful dialogue with your inner critic to better understand what’s blocking your creative flow (and how to move through it).

    After the session, you’ll receive thoughtful notes with personalized tools, practices, and prompts to gently support you as you deepen and expand on what we’ve explored together.

book your session

My calendar typically books out a month in advance.

Let’s meet.

Book a complimentary connection call so we can get to know each other, talk through your creative aspirations and challenges, and explore coaching options together.

Note: if the calendar doesn’t appear on the left hand side, you can view it here.

  • This complimentary connection call is offered to creatives who are considering a coaching partnership. If you're not in a season where you can invest, feel free to explore my free resources.

    No decision needs to be made on the call. I'll follow up with key takeaways from our conversation, and coaching options tailored for you.

    After booking a moment that works for you, you will be redirected to a short questionnaire. Thank you for filling it out 24h before our call.

    Partnering with a limited number of clients each season is what helps me be fully present for both my private clients and my own creative life, as well as resist the ‘more, better, faster’ narrative. My calendar is currently open for long-term partnerships (3+ months) beginning Fall 2026. Single sessions and intensives are also available and typically book about one month in advance.
