When you are ready to do the thing, but you don’t want to do it alone
It’s been a long hard time lately friends and many of us have had a chance to have a look around inside of our hearts and minds. There is perhaps a need…to write, to draw, to make, to teach, to build….. to do…something. But what?
Are we really so alone in this?
Well, you don’t have to be.
Fellow travelers…I see you standing at the edge I’ll jump with you!
Perhaps you have ideas…
Some are funny; Some are serious. Some are desperate; Some are checking off a box; Some are surprising (even to you); Some you just want to enjoy doing; Some are finished (almost) and some are in need of a TON of work. Some require final touches….. and some of those ideas just want to be believed in.
See and be seen….
Our program is set up to provide a wing woman to you as you find your footing in a new CREATIVE venture:
CREATIVE HELP PROGRAMS
“THE COLLABORATOR”
Hourly $125
Hourly Zoom Meetings (As Needed)
COACHING DETAILS:
Accountability Coaching: As we seek to find people to do things with and for us, often, what we want is someone to hold us accountable and see us through the process of completing the thing we set out to do. Let us assist in this capacity. You remain the boss of the project, we simply lend a caring hand and provide support as you launch a new project or idea. The coaching includes the meditative warm up, keeping you organized and making future action points clear.
The Creative Advocate: Not unlike a Voice Lesson where you align your body and mind to sing, this will be a set time where you align yourself to think, discuss and plan creatively. In your own time, this is a chance to work on building a creative habit, 1 hour at a time, at a leisurely pace.
This program involves:
60 Minute zoom sessions
The sessions can combine both elements of the coaching details listed above. The collaborator is limited to only coaching, see below for more opportunities to invest further
Coaching Goals:
Making your creativity a priority
Being held accountable
Expanding your mental agility beyond work and basic survival

CREATIVE HELP COACH:
Hi! I’m Jen, and I’m here to help save the world through creating worlds- with you! Perhaps your muses have been swirling. Then let me help you put those tiny voice-lings into action. Let’s determine your creative values in a safe space together. For the past 10 years, I have met with incredible talents looking to take the first step into a creative sphere. Usually the journey beckoning is a frightening one. Often the first question is, “Can I partner with you?” However, collaboration only works when both have a common vision and equal investment. Many times, these creative brains were simply afraid to take the firs step. And now, I can help. Allow me support you.
For the past 6 years I have been privileged to witness creative evolutions of some wonderful humans through my creation of Astoria Women’s Improv and Hallet’s Cove Theater. I have created my own one woman puppet shows out of trash. I’ve performed at the NYC “United Solo Theater Festival”and walked away with an award of “Best Variety Show of 2019”. I have directed a wonderful man, in so many of his heartfelt one man shows. I have directed communities in huge shows. I helped a woman find out she COULD make her own theater company and she WAS a director. I serve as a valued encourager for an incredibly talented children’s book author; I act as a co-teacher with a wonderful human, hypnotherapist and empath. I’m a supporter of new artists to NYC, offering hours of support to those finding their footing in this town. I recently started working with little kids in Astoria with our first Astoria Children’s Theater Program using Spolin games to lead the way. And they are the apples of my eye. I also have been a professional performer and singer for many years prior and have the resume (somewhere around here) to prove it. I am a lover of Astoria Queens, people, and of radical acceptance. Now, let’s talk about you…..
YES! I Really want a free consultation with you Jen.
LET ME KNOW HOW I CAN HELP!
