Creative Coaching
You Are the Artist of Your Life
Creative Coaching helps you see fresh perspectives and resource creative inner solutions for life challenges big and small. Anchor into present moment awareness, resource your wise inner knowing, and establish touchstones, practices, and rituals for a clear road ahead.
We’ll engage in eco-somatic explorations, embodied mindfulness, nature connection, creative expression, and Elemental integration. Jiling draws on her experiences in holistic healthcare, outdoor education, teaching yoga, and multimedia art to support your journey, and hold space. Feel held during your Creative Coaching session, and a settled clarity after your session. Let’s walk forwards together.
Bring a question or intention, or come as you are. We’ll land with a simple mindfulness practice, then converse. Practices during the session may include journaling, drawing, or movement. Practices are actionable, easy to do, and customized for your needs and delights. Emerge with 1-5 home practices or rituals to continue the process on your own.
Clear the skies of your Mind, find solid ground in your Body, and anchor into the refuge of your Heart. Between Earth and Sky, between grounded practices and inspiring insights, come Home to yourself.

Who Coaching Is For
- If you’re saying, “Something needs to change, but I don’t know what.”
- When you’re feeling stuck, undecided— or there’s too much going on, and you’re overwhelmed or burned out.
- Creatives and visionaries. Multidisciplinary multi-passionate multi-hyphenate folks. Travelers and undefinables in unconventional careers or life paths seeking fresh horizons.
- Folks at a transition in their life, career, relationship, or other crossroads.
What Coaching Offers
- Questions that support you in discovering your own answers
- A place to be held and supported, whoever and wherever you are
- Inner resourcing to reconnect with your own insights and intuition
What You'll Leave With
- A sense of peace, spaciousness, clarity, and renewed possibility
- A simple roadmap and tangible tools for self-discovery and forward momentum
What Coaching Is Not
- Creative Coaching is not business advice— visit SBDC or Score for that.
- Creative Coaching is not a health consultation or assessment— book an acupuncture appointment or health consult for that.
