How Does this work?
This space works like a brick and mortar studio. After your intake you can book studio time as needed. During studio sessions you can ask for guidance with your piece, learn new techniques, troubleshoot and discuss your journey.
Do you use AI?
Even though this is a virtual service I have a strict no AI policy. The contents of this website and everything you will experience during our sessions is based on my academic training, almost two decades of experience and tons of intentional, continuous and thorough research. I have carefully crafted this whole experience myself.
IS THIS SPACE CONFIDENTIAL?
This is a confidential space. Your personal information and the content of your sessions is entirely private.
How will I know what materials I will need and where to get them?
You will be provided with a list of materials and corresponding links to order them online at different price points. It’s also likely that you will have some of these materials at home already. Thrift stores also carry many of these items for very affordable prices.
Do you take insurance?
This is a non-clinical space and therefore it's not covered by insurance. Payment plans and sliding fees are available for those who need them.
Do you do sessions in person?
For now, I only do sessions remotely .
Do you offer a free discovery session?
No. You will receive all the information you need via e-mail before the first session and I’m happy to answer any questions you may have before then.
Do you offer regular coaching sessions that are not Art-Based?
I do. The option to book one is available on the scheduling system tab.
Hablas español?
Claro que si!
TIMELINE
Intake
You will be guided through the process of deciding on a medium and planning your piece. We will move through a series of exploratory questions about what you want to work on and why. You will walk away with a simple , achievable series of next steps.
studio time
As you start working on your piece (or pieces) we will meet regularly to discuss your experience. While this is a creative space, my approach is based on empirical evidence and reliable, updated research. You can come and work on your piece whenever you feel called to do so . There is no set schedule or timeline unless you want there to be
closure
Once you're finished with your piece we will have a final debrief session about the process and talk about what you would like to do with it. Some people choose to give it to someone, others want to frame or display it, others even decide to burn it as a cathartic experience! This is also when you decide if you’d like to wrap up your journey or embark on another project.
