A transformative portal for Creative Spirits…

3 months of highly personalized support to clear creative blocks, reconnect with the magic of creativity & move toward creative goals via your rhythms, nature, & MAGIC!


✨ Are you tired of constantly pushing creative time to the back-burner because you’re too busy or too exhausted to get into the flow? (But maybe you’re also avoiding the greatness of what you could create because it scares you?)

✨ Are you tired of fielding questions about the project you started last year (because it’s currently stalled in creative purgatory but still haunting your dreams)?

✨ Are you exhausted from trying to create like everyone else & collapsing into a puddle of woe because your creations feels foreign and uninteresting to you?

✨ Are you filled with juicy ideas but also plagued by a small mountain of half-started projects (& quasi-paralyzed about what you should actually work on)?


Yes, finding time to create at this time in history is challenging. Tuning out the noise from the news, our phones, and the news in our phones so we can make space for creative thinking — that’s tough. Add in the demands of work, childcare, elder-care, plus other passions and social obligations and, yeah, it starts to feel like maybe there’s a total of 3 seconds left each month for making art or writing stories.

It doesn’t help that we’re led to believe Creativity is a luxury in this world — that it’s something we get to do after we take care of everything else, the thing we have to earn time for by crushing our to-do lists in impossible feats of herculean productivity.

But Creativity is not a luxury, friends. It’s a necessity!

Without it, we’re mere husks of our true selves.



Why fight for our creativity?

A blocked creative channel within a Creative Spirit is like total-body constipation. When we relinquish our Goddess-given right to create, we turn our backs on powerful forms of self-expression, on nourishing forms of play, on joyous experimentation, and connection with The Great Mystery that fuels our creative ideas.

There are a million factors, internal and external, that put our creative lives at risk. And there a million pathways back home to our creative selves. For each of us, the blocks — and the opening of creative channels — looks a little different. But I promise it’s possible to…

⛰️ Turn intermittent bursts of creativity into a consistent creative practice that fits your lifestyle, feels nourishing and sustainable, and takes you closer to completed projects that live and breathe in the world.

🎨 Transform doubt and insecurity about the worth of your ideas (or yourself as an artist) into the belief that your art matters — which is all the fuel you need to turn your ideas into creations the world can see, feel, and touch!

🎉 Stop hiding your creative proclivities and instead find the creative community where you feel seen and celebrated for the art you make and the artist you’re becoming.

🌀 Recover from the stifling programming we’ve received about Creativity from schools, religious institutions, our parents, and the culture at large.

Sometimes, a small shift can blow the portal wide open! I see it happen for my clients every day!


Hi, I’m Cecily…

I’ve been supporting and working with creative people for nearly 20 years — teaching creative writing to people of all ages, working as a book coach and manuscript doctor, running creative programming for schools, libraries, and community organizations, and helping people explore the mystical (and practical!) side of Creativity.

In my work with clients, I draw on what I’ve learned and experienced across multiple modalities in the creative and healing arts: the nuanced craft of writing (I have an MFA in fiction and lots of experience as a journalist); the path to publication (I’ve helped many people get there); ritual, spiritual, and archetypal work (I’ve been reading and studying Tarot for 8 years); dream analysis; Internal Family Systems (parts work); somatic experiencing; nature-based attachment and connection; among others. I’m also Trauma of Money Certified™.

I’m a Capricorn sun, moon, and Mars(!) and a Taurus rising, so I bring loads of earthy energy to my work, helping my clients feel grounded, calm, and held as we walk the creative path together.


I’m here to help you:

+ make peace with your inner critic
+ expand & deepen your ideas
+ unlearn unhelpful ideas around Creativity
+ develop projects at your pace & in your way
+ help you reach the people who crave your art
+ experience a profound, life-changing, magical relationship with Creativity


Join me for a 1:1 collaboration supporting your Creative journey, whether you’re:

+ coming back to Creativity after a long pause
+ moving through a big project that has you nervous-cited + overwhelmed
+ seeking to build & connect with creative community
+ needing a refresh in your creative business
+ detoxing from the competitive / perfectionist kool-aid of academic arts programs
+ simply ready to meet & dance with Creativity differently

If that’s YOU…

Let’s embark on your next
Creative Revolution!



Creative Revolution is for creators, craftspeople, dreamers & mystics who…

  • See creativity as an essential part of life, yet struggle to fully embrace it.

  • Are ready to explore what’s holding them back from creative flow, confidence, and meaningful action.

  • Seek a strong ally to back their creative work by helping refine ideas, embrace opportunities, finish projects with more ease, and share creations with adoring fans.

  • Soaked up oodles of workshops studying a craft, but still quietly wonder why they’re not doing the thing yet.

  • Drifted away from Creativity a while ago and long to come home to the connection and medicine of creative practice.

  • Make a living from creative work and struggle to earn enough, connect with their audience, and grow their community in meaningful and sustainable ways.

  • Want their art to change the world, and could use a powerful ally as they step forward and bring more visibility — and impact! — to their work.


What We’ll Explore Together…

👁️‍🗨️ WHAT’S YOUR VISION? 👁️‍🗨️

We’ll connect with your true desires around Creativity. Some of these desires have been hidden away (aka, you’ve talked yourself out of them) because so much of the external world functions to do just that. We’ll excavate what you truly want creatively so you can start moving in that direction.

👾 WHERE ARE YOUR BLOCKS? 👾

We’ll explore what happens when you set out to create but don’t, when you start to create then back away, when you ideate like crazy only to balk at the overwhelm of where to start or how to “do it all.” We’ll lovingly and gently (with humor and exploration) give space to these stories, blocks, and feelings and find out what they need so they stop running the show from behind the scenes, and you can move forward without steamrolling your inner experience.

🌳 WHAT’S YOUR PROCESS? 🌳

We’ll explore what your creative practice is like logistically. Together, we’ll imagine processes, practices, and rituals to help you create consistently, sustainably, and with pleasure! Most creatives are trying too hard to “be disciplined,” forcing themselves to get the work done, which can backfire and create more inner resistance. We’ll identify what works for you beyond all the advice and “best practices” you’ve heard everywhere else.

🫶🏻 WHERE ARE YOUR PEOPLE? 🫶🏻

We’ll explore the community you’re seeking around your creative work and where might you find it. It’s beautiful to create in solitude, but ultimately, art wants to be seen. You may not be in that place yet (or you might be super hungry for an audience of loyal fans), but we’ll at least begin to explore and imagine the humans who will be nourished and inspired by your work.

✨ WHERE’S THE MAGIC? ✨

We’ll always highlight the sparkly, cosmic signs and signals coming at you when you fall into the flow (aka create authentically)! We’ll explore the energetic currents of your work — themes, aesthetics, symbols — to see more of the magic that is Creativity. I’ll be your curious, witchy ally who listens deeply and helps you tease out new threads, observe patterns, and decipher intuitive hits that can draw you deeper into your work (so you’ll feel naturally motivated and excited to come back to it.

💖 WHERE’S THE LOVE? 💖

We’ll explore your inherently love for Creativity, for your work, and for the people you inspire with your art. Creativity is a heart-and-soul supporting practice. I honestly believe that only half of the value of Creativity lies in the actual creations; equally important are the gifts Creativity gives us, how it enhances our lives and lends meaning to our journey. We create art because it feels bad if we don’t, and because we love the world (or a certain things about it) and want to capture that in indelible ways. We’ll also make sure you’re celebrating (one way of practicing love), not just the big stuff but the little things too. When we move closer to the loving side of the creative spectrum, so much more becomes possible.



Creative Revolution includes…

  • Six 75-minute sessions to revitalize, transform, and revise your relationship with Creativity to get you moving — with steady momentum — to start, complete, and share your creative projects.

  • Tarot consultations at the end of every session, so you’re not just hearing from me, but also from the voice of Creativity, of the Universe itself!

  • Ritual suggestions and magical practices you can use in your life and in your creative practice to shift blocks, welcome in new energy, and manifest the fruits and joys you’re ready to receive.

  • Support with your WHY, your creative process, your modes of sharing, your interactions with social media, how you market your work (if that’s something you do), and how you connect with other creatives.

  • Editorial support for writers or creative entrepreneurs who want feedback on their works-in-progress, marketing copy, or grant, fellowship, and program applications.

  • Support between sessions through written correspondence (via Google docs).

  • Some flexibility in terms of crafting a mentorship container that works for you — depending on the amount of support you need, whether or not you desire editorial review, and your budget. We’ll discuss all of this in your free curiosity call.



What former clients say…

💜 I gained a whole new perspective on what it means to be in relationship with my creativity. This is a relationship I want for the rest of my life, and that means there will be slow times and there will be times when I make a lot of art! Just like how the seasons ebb and flow through periods of fallow and harvest, so does the creative practice, and that doesn't mean I'm failing. I shifted my perspective away from the capitalist-centric mode of high productivity and selling out just to sell. Now I want to make for me, and it turns out people want to buy my art regardless! I don't feel like I'm selling my soul to social media for likes and validation. Now I use Instagram as a tool to stay connected with other artists and learn about upcoming opportunities that excite me, rather than using as a tool for comparison.
~ Maddie (visual artist and graphic designer)

💜 Before my work with Cecily, I wasn't creatively brave. I lived most of my life surrounded by creative people, but participating in creative actions as an observer or supporter. I secretly and passionately wished I was able to participate in the world in a creative way, but I had an inner critic that never took a day off and a lifetime of participating in some very limiting thinking and adherence to societal nonsense. I suspected all of this was holding me back prior to my work with Cecily, but as we dug in and started really dissecting what was going on, I was able to navigate all this internal and external programming in a new way and begin the work of casting off the old and walking into a present where I am drawing and writing and making, and it's so much fun. Cecily would often remind me that I was the one doing all the hard work, but it sure is wonderful to have a wise, funny, wildly creative, and kind person by your side as you do that work.
~ Brandi (real estate agent reclaiming creativity with visual art and writing)

💜 Cecily helped me set aside my corporate-world expectations (i.e. I have to have a draft done by the HiPower off-site — she asked why?). Cecily asked me to slow down and not apply past practices to the current, new situation. She drew my feelings out of my writing, when I tended to be dismissive, stoic, or clinical. Cecily identified phrases that stood out or were touching. She re-read when I really needed it. She was flexible, consistent, clear, thoughtful, and very effective at steering me forward on a new path — starting from the beginning. I was able to adopt new perspectives on adoption (a big part of my story). And I loved the tarot readings!
~ Ashley (retired environmental consulting CEO working on a legacy memoir)

💜 I feel more confident, have more peace of mind and ease. Our coaching helped me in WAY more areas of life than just my book writing as I originally intended. In fact, I think it helped me understand myself, my habits, my life's path better. Which in turn will help my writing. It's almost like what brought me to Cecily was seeking help with my book, but then realized it's more about understanding myself first. Peeling back the layers and unpacking certain experiences that will then help free me to write better and improve other areas of my life.
~ Maria (digital nomad and Substack writer working on a book about her travels)

💜 I signed up for creative coaching with Cecily because I wanted my writing process to be less fraught, less tense, and less exhausting. Cecily helped me feel through the block, to track it as it changed shape from a stubborn, slothful monster to its truer shape as a fearful, self-hating cringe. In Cecily’s calming and solid presence, I was able to stay with my emotions rather than avoid them and get curious about the rich information contained in those feelings. Over and over, I’ve gotten to feel the sense in my body of what it’s like to live (and write) without that fearful cringe, and the more I feel it, the easier it becomes to find it again. Cecily provided numerous tools to help me treat myself with kindness and move toward a place of openness, which comes more easily now. During our time together, I made significant progress on the revision of my novel, began healing old wounds, and processing old grief. Above all, I discovered more safety, freedom, and joy in my writing process.
~ Kat (award-winning three-time YA novelist)

💜 It has been amazing working with Cecily over the last few months. Finding creative inspiration was never my problem, but I'd often become overwhelmed with ideas, almost paralyzed by them at times. I often had difficulty deciding where to focus my energy and how to best achieve goals, leaving me with a sense that I was spinning my wheels. Cecily helped me assess my actions against my goals. She got to know me and my work and her approach to coaching me was bespoke and personalized, without the generic platitudes too often encountered in the coaching realm.
~ Ami (self-supporting visual artist)

Curiosity calls are free and reserved for those who want to explore a longer (3-month) mentorship.
These calls are where we determine whether and how I can help you, and if we’re a good fit.
If you’d like a single coaching session to refine, brainstorm, or trouble-shoot, I offer 90-minute sessions for $222.


✨ I’m also available — on a limited basis — for manuscript consultation and developmental editing, which includes a thorough review of your fiction, nonfiction, or memoir manuscript, with attention to themes, structure, voice, and your goals for the work. Consultations includes a 90-minute session to discuss and integrate feedback and address all your questions. Inquire here.
