Proof of Life Coaching
I’m good at keeping my word and I thrive on creative accountability projects. They are like a compass, always pointing me towards my North Star, my purpose, my dharma. Here’s a list of a few of the self-imposed creative assigments I’ve worked on over the years:
A simple daily art journaling practice
In 2014, I embarked on a daily creative practice each morning at my kitchen table. The quiet meditation + prolonged introspection eventually led me to quit drinking.Daily gratitude list practice

Since getting sober back in 2015, I’ve created and grown my own art + recovery coaching business. Many of my self-imposed creative assignments are still alive + well and help maintain my emotional sobriety. I’d love to help you find your own creative ritual + accountability project and guide you along in the process.

This is for women who want to dive deeper into creative exploration, self-examination + inquiry work. I help you take action.
Over the past 12 years, I have evolved into what I would proudly call a working artist.
I went back to college in 2015, at age 44—a month after I got sober, and declared art as my major.
Showing up for myself daily through creative accountability projects has played an important role in my evolution into becoming a sober, dignified, creative woman.
