sink into your creative being
creative coaching
Are you an artist that is struggling to navigate art under capitalism? Or, are you a creative person wanting a deeper connection with their creativity? Creative coaching sessions with Rye will support you in challenges you face, by clearing the way for deeper personal meaning as an artist under capitalism, navigating the pain, difficulties, and emotional layers of being a creative person in this world, connecting your past creative experiences to your current feelings and behaviors, and building the life that you deserve and is meant for you, step by step.
Rye's work of helping clients deepen connection to their true selves with creative coaching is heavily informed by their background as a music psychotherapist, as well as by their personal experiences as a musician and creative being. Through the lens of acknowledging that we are all deeply creative and spiritual beings, they help clients gain clarity around life themes they may be navigating as an artist. Themes may include life transitions, gender and sexuality, sobriety, relationships, desires, and dreams. Rye acknowledges that our creativity is inherently intertwined with our humanness, and it is impossible to compartmentalize the two.
Creative coaching is for artists who are seeking support with their art, as well as people who are seeking a stronger connection with their creativity. This includes people searching for accountability, motivation, support navigating challenges with particular projects or goals, expansion of creative processes, as well as guidance in working through creative blocks, which are often connected to deep and complex layers of grief and other emotional wounds. I work with musicians, writers, actors, dancers, filmmakers, visual artists and performers of all kinds.
Important:
It is important to note that although I am a certified music therapist and hold a master's degree in this field, coaching sessions are not therapy. While my work is informed by my psychotherapy background, I do not provide therapy in coaching sessions and I do not treat diagnoses in this work.
Virtual Sessions:
I provide virtual creative coaching sessions for clients located in the U.S. and internationally.
Pricing:
My rate for a 50 minute coaching session is $165.00. I recommend weekly support for consistency and grounding, but I aim to work with clients in the frequency that feels right for them.
If you are interested in support and my rate feels out of reach for you, please let me know. I use a self-assessment that offers clients in need of financial support reduced rates.

“Working with Rye to forge a stronger connection with my creativity has felt like returning home or catching up with an old friend. From the very first session, they helped me feel safe and valid in wanting to embrace my artistic expression. Rye's gentle guidance and support have empowered me to rediscover the playful joy of creating art just for myself, free from the pressures of productivity, social norms, or my own hangups. It feels like I'm awakening a part of myself that has been quiet for much of my adult life and I'm incredibly grateful to have Rye by my side as I continue my journey.”

"Rye is an incredible support I would highly recommend them for ANY modality of art support bc they find a way to meet you where you are and have a lot of knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm for various art forms. I went to Rye for blockages in my expression due to shame and emotional injuries and each session they listened, shared their own experience (incredible musician and artist btw), gave me applicable exercises and mantras, and shared references to their knowledge. I left each session feeling like I combed through a knot."

"Working with Rye was a great experience! They were clearly knowledgable and passionate about helping others find their voice. I was VERY nervous but Rye never made me feel judged - the environment is super encouraging and that really helped me push to do my best."

"When I first started working with Rye, I was very unsure of my goals, my abilities, and myself as an artist. I wasn’t creating what I wanted because I was too stunted by fear and shame from engrained trauma. This style of coaching has been life-changing for me. Using inner child healing tools, I’ve grown into a more confident artist and human being. I’ve been able to identify what creativity means for me in my life, how I want to grow as an artist, and new mediums of creativity that I didn’t see as options for myself before. I was feeling hopeless and lost, like a person with no options, but with Rye’s help, I’ve been able to broaden my scope and create new paths for myself. I would strongly recommend this coaching program to anyone who wants to explore new avenues of creativity, set creative goals, or grow artistically with someone gentle and encouraging. I owe a huge thank you to Rye for helping me get this far, and I’m so excited to see more of my visions come to life."
