Psst! Creative friend.
The whole tortured, broke artist thing doesn't look good on you.
Wanna Kick self-doubt to the curb and turn your art into a sustainable career?
Or like you haven't explored your full creative potential.
If the business side of things feels overwhelming and makes you doubt your next move.
you're in JUST the right place, SCROLL ON!
Picture this: You're sitting in your studio, at your piano, in front of a blinking cursor or blank notebook. Perhaps you have a big creative vision and a million ideas, or you feel completely blocked. In any case, everything feels overwhelming and you keep questioning your abilities and purpose.
When the inner workings of your self-doubt are a mystery, you feel like your creative practice is at the mercy of the next unpredictable wave. But once you learn how your own self-doubt operates, you can work with it. You have more agency and are able to navigate your creative practice with a greater sense of psychological safety and ease.
The truth is, you were never meant to do this alone.
WHAT WOULD BE POSSIBLE FOR YOU IF YOU KICKED PERFECTIONISM AND PROCRASTINATION TO THE CURB AND TURNED DOWN THE VOLUME ON YOUR INNER CRITIC?
Perhaps you haven’t heard of creative or art coaching, but that’s totally my zone of genius.
As an artist and self-doubty human myself, I've been in your shoes.

That’s why I created:
A three to six month immersive coaching journey to untangle from self-doubt, unearth your creative genius and turn your creativity into a sustainable career.
"UNFOLDING"
1:1 COACHING for ARTISTS & CREATIVES
Designed for creative business owners, professional and aspiring artists alike, this coaching series would have saved me a lot of headaches and is everything I wish I’d had to support me as an artist and creative entrepreneur.
"Ok THAT's ALL GOOD but WHAT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT, MARIE?"
As a musician and artist, I know first- hand how self-doubt, conditioning, comparison, limiting beliefs and thought patterns can interfere with your creativity and ability to see projects through. And, as a coach, I saw this come up for my clients time and time again. This is why, in addition to my prior coaching qualification, I specialised as a self-belief coach under master coach and self-doubt researcher Sas Petherick.
Under her guidance, I have learned a proven self-doubt methodology, which has equipped me with powerful tools, deep knowledge and evidence-based approaches to be able to support you at the highest level, through your self-doubt.
My coaching expertise is also informed by my experience in the marketing and advertising industries, and my utter passion for and 3 decades of experience in the arts.

Learning the art of befriending your self-doubt will give you the tools to finding your way back to self-belief, no matter the weather.
"Since working with Marie, I've been able to grow taller, speak louder and create more.
Marie has a way of encouraging you to question yourself to find solutions - understanding that the answers are already in you but don't know how to embrace them.
BERNADETTE GRIFFIN

"Coaching with Marie is like hanging out with my inner child.
She asks questions that allow me to explore exactly what it is my heart wants, and she does it in a very intuitive, playful way. It's been such an incredible transformation. I am no longer holding back.
SIOBHAN LUMSDEN,
Voice Actor, Writer, Astrologer, UK
"As a result of coaching with Marie, I held an open studio that sold out.
I'd always feel calm and like the best version of myself after a session with Marie: she is gentle, inspiring and very funny as well!

KIND WORDS FROM REAL PEOPLE
“Enlightening, supportive, purpose-driven coaching. With Marie by your side, you will feel safe and supported in this process of self discovery. ”
ANOUCHKA LOTOTSKY
The Slow Flower Studio, Switzerland
Coaching with me will take you on a journey of self-discovery to reconnect with the most daring and creative parts of yourself. Together, we dwell in the uncomfortable, the messy, the uncertainty. We unravel conditioning, untangle stories, challenge the status quo, we push boundaries. We dive deep.
But mostly, we seek joy, fulfilment and purpose in the act of creating.
If that resonates with you, I'd love nothing more than to be in your corner as you untangle from self-doubt, unearth your creative genius and show up wholeheartedly in your life and work.
In this space we explore you. All of you.
Ready to take the plunge?
After 3 decades in the arts, I know first hand how self-doubt, conditioning, comparison and limiting beliefs can interfere with your creativity and wellbeing, and ability to see projects through. And I'm on a mission to change that.
Because I believe the world needs more fulfilled and self-actualised artists who use their creativity to spark change around them.
I’m a certified creative coach and self-doubt expert. I am a musician, documentary photographer and lover of all art forms. I’m a big thinker and even bigger feeler who needs loads of alone time to recharge but love to be in the company of like-minded souls.
I just wish we had more sessions because every single one was massively impactful!
NATALIE LUCIE
MUSICIAN + SONGWRITER,UK
Marie has an ability to hold space and very gently, lovingly and challenge/stretch you in ways that are hugely transformative upon reflection. I am very grateful to have had this time with her.

Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS CREATIVE COACHING?
Creative coaching is a blend of personal development and professional coaching for artists and anyone who wants to reconnect to their creativity, whether it's their full time job or not. As your coach, I help you with every aspect of your life (emotional, practical, existential) and I help you navigate blocks and resistance to help you bring to life the body of work that is aching to be expressed, as well as figure out the business side of art.
How does coaching with you work?
As your coach, I'll invite you to think hard, feel deeply and do work to manifest your deepest creative potential. We'll start by you filling in an in-depth questionnaire to kick-start our coaching journey. We'll then set some goals for yourself that will take you closer to your big vision. I'll then be by your side every step of the way to guide you as you take small, intentional steps towards them.
How will we measure progress?
Coaching is not magical, and there are no formulas that apply to everyone, which is why every coaching journey is different. My coaching style is both intuitive and rooted in practicality. Some of the work we'll do together will be easily measurable, while other areas we'll be working on might be more intangible. All my clients have noticed a significant difference in the way they feel and think at the end of our work together.
Who do you work with?
I work with artists, performers, designers, writers, photographers, creative entrepreneurs and anybody who wants to honour their creativity, reconnect with their inner artist and develop their business skills, whether it is their full time job or not.
How will I know if we're the right fit?
I offer a 30 minute complimentary introductory call (my virtual tea date) during which we explore what you are looking to get out of coaching and see if we would be a good fit for coaching. It's also an opportunity for you to ask me any burning questions you might have.
What are your credentials?
PUT THE KETTLE ON
If you’re curious about coaching with me and what might be possible for you, you can book a no-obligation, complimentary call of 30 min, where you can ask me any burning questions you might have and discuss what you’re hoping to get out of coaching.
Warning: I have very strong feelings about how I drink my tea...
