This is heart-making, not art-making.
Creative Coaching is *not* about art-making (unless you want that aspect), but rather it is customized to fit your unique being. This is creative-being as in: I know it takes a lot of creativity to figure out why you should get out of bed the day after your child has died! Through our collaboration, you can learn skills for developing your own creative path through loss and grief. Much like practicing yoga, you can explore tools like The Work, Tapping, Self-Reiki and more as part of your own daily practice. Together, we'll explore the possibilities and create a practice that fits you!

Individual Coaching Sessions
Kind Words from a Coaching Client "Being a Social Worker and having worked with many people through their big losses and life changes, I was admittedly a picky client when I went looking for someone to support me in my grieving and healing journey after our daughter died. When I found Kara's website and read more about her and her approach to grieving and healing, I knew immediately that she was the person I was looking for...Kara has a rich theoretical understanding of grief and a broad range of tools to offer, but she's also lived it, and I think that makes all the difference. I've worked with lots of life coaches, therapists and counselors before, and many of them have formulaic responses...With Kara it was different... we both arrived agenda-free and she was creative and flexible, meeting me where I was right then rather than requiring me to conform to some theoretical model of grieving...Kara's support has been integral in helping me to find ways to live wholeheartedly after loss." - Cath Duncan, Founder of Remembering For Good |

Do you need more patience in this impatient world? Do you suspect there is something wrong with the idea of "closure" when it comes to major loss? Do you feel like a completely different person since grief came? Do you feel called to a different kind of creativity now, but feel blocked? Creative Coaching might just be for you!

Testimonials "Having just completed coaching, I can tell you that this was the best purchase I made for myself. Kara helped me to refocus my energy and weed out the junk that was creating obstacles to my healing and put me on a path that will help me to help myself through a very difficult illness. Coach Kara gave me the tools that I needed. Our sessions were invaluable, and the meditations/visualizations were extraordinary. I can't thank you enough Kara." "...you are so good at the hearing and the sorting out and the saying it just right... " "I've been sharing [one of your coaching tools] far and wide...it is well-recieved & brilliant." "Kara's contributions to a book I'm editing (They Were Still Born: Personal Stories of Stillbirth, Fall 2010 release by Rowman & Littlefield) about the connection of grief and creativity are inspiring. Her exuberant art and clear writing style make her a powerful voice in the field of pregnancy/infant loss." “... I will use these tools forever..." |
