🌊 Welcome to Creative, Playful & Deep

I’m glad you’re here, on the shores of creative play and deep flow — where our sensitive, authentic voices can rise, together.

As an author, singer, and sound improv artist, I believe in the power of playfulness to melt resistance and lift your creative spirit.

I see you, darlin.’ A sensitive soul, a survivor who’s weathered many storms. You create beauty to make sense of a crazy world. You want to go deep. Touch hearts.

But something clogs your flow when you share your voice, hit ‘send,’ or ‘publish.’ Inner critics. Imposters. Perfectionists. Me, too. These little monkeys in my mind whisper, "It's not good enough. Too weird. I'm too old for this." Ahhh… we’re not alone.

Creative angst sucks. Playfulness wins.

It’s brave to put your heart on the page or an open mic. It’s deep work. Brings up big emotions. But it doesn’t have to feel heavy, like a hundred monkeys on your back.

As an improv artist, I’m in love with what’s possible when we practice feeling free. What if the creative process wasn’t such a burden, but more like play? What if you let your wild, authentic voice sing the truth, as only you can?

Let’s get back in the flow.

Living on the Salish Sea, I love to share images and sounds of water to calm, cleanse, and energize your creative spirit. Since you’re a human who’s mostly water, you’ll get:

  • Signature ‘songs for water’ to soothe your nervous system, and restore your flow

  • Sound energy tools to reset your Monkey mind so you can feel loose, playful, soft

  • Heart-full stories of transforming real-life 'shit-u-ations' into creative gold

Find your creative community.

Turns out, humans need each other to thrive. We’re here to co-regulate our emotions, replacing scary feels with good vibes. We're all companions on a creative voyage. So let’s play with the ways we can show up with less Arggg! and more Ahhhh.
