FAQs

  • Creativity, to me, is a fundamental human need, a way of coming alive. To experience ourselves as creative beings is one of the most joyful, sacred, and beautiful expressions of being human.

    On the surface, creativity might look like making something unique, whether painting or song or dance or dish, but beneath that, it’s the act of deciding what truly matters to you. And I want to help you with that process.

    I grew up in a pragmatic, high-achieving culture and family environment where creative pursuits were dismissed as indulgent. So creating became an act of protest, a reclaiming of parts of myself that were silenced and shamed. Creating healed me, and continues to heal me.

    My approach to creative coaching is collaborative, compassionate, and holistic. It’s about beginning, returning to, or nourishing a creative practice that feels alive, sustainable, and meaningful.

    The creative process can bring frustration, dissatisfaction, confusion, and many other complex emotions but it should not destroy or torture us. I believe that creativity can reconnect us with our curiosity, joy, and the wisdom.

    My work is informed by my training in Global Studies, Art Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Guided Drawing, and shaped by my lived experience as a creative, a transnational adoptee, a survivor of complex PTSD, a migrant, and a queer, non-binary person of colour.

    My own practice spans writing, visual art, and movement that are all rooted in embodiment, and care.

  • People who want to live, grow or expand creatively, not necessarily as full-time creatives, but as humans who long to feel expressive, connected, and real.

    This is for those who sense there’s more within them waiting to be made, said, or lived but need structure, reflection, or encouragement.

    While therapy focuses on holistic wellbeing, creative coaching focuses on living an authentic, spiritually and emotionally vital life through creative expression.
