This page is about my 1-1 coaching, which foregrounds music as a soul path.

Your first question will probably be: “Is this for professional musicians?”

This is for anyone who knows that music is a central, non-negotiable part of their life. But you’ve struggled to fit it into your life in a way that works for you.

Whether it’s about earning a living is going to be different for everyone.

This is for you if you have a longing for music that isn’t being satisfied.

Whether you’re a burned-out musician, who hasn’t yet found your musical home.

Or if you are just plain yearning to make music, but you can’t even get started.

You know music is that thing that gives you the most joy and fun you’ve ever experienced, that’s as vitally important to you as sunlight. But it gets sidelined, because you need to make a living, and look after the family, and keep all the balls in the air.

Maybe you have a music-related job that seemed great at first. But now you’re burned out, it’s sucking your soul, it’s killing you inside. But you don’t think you can leave, because that’s what you need to do to make a living as a musician.

You have musical dreams and projects, but you just can’t seem to get them off the ground. It’s even feeling too hard to make a Spotify playlist! So you’re just listening to the same songs, over and over.

I understand this. That’s why I’m doing this work.

Who this isn’t for:

If you’re looking for a coach who will help you get into the music industry, get a recording contract, or navigate a classical music career path, that isn’t what I do. There are coaches out there who work in these very specialised areas.

I can, however, help you clarify whether getting onto one of these paths is likely to be a good option for you. And I can support you with identifying and developing the personal, musical and even some of the technical skills that you’ll need along the way. 

This is my hope for you. When you’re following your own musical heart’s path:

• You’ll experience much better wellbeing.
• You’ll free up time and energy that will flow out to the rest of your life.
• You’ll know you’re doing what you’re on this earth to do.
• You’ll know you’re creating change in the world, using music as a divine tool for transformation.
• You’ll feel connected to the flows of abundance.
• You’ll experience more rewarding relationships.
• You’ll start to experience creative flow. 

I bet you can relate to one of the following scenarios:

• You’ve just invested in yet another instrument. Each time you’ve been hoping that this will be the one you’ll get skilled at, enough so you can feel pleasure and satisfaction playing it regularly.

• Years ago, you loved to sing. But your singing voice has been unused for so long it’s gone rusty!

• You’ve signed up to work with music teachers and singing teachers, but it never seems to work out.

• You can play a bunch of instruments and different music genres. But you haven’t yet found one that really suits you.

• You’re getting paid to make music you don’t love. Or in a way you don’t love.

You’ve tried to find a way to have music in your life, but nothing has worked.

You know you’re not happy with the way things are, but you’re just not sure what to do instead.

Here’s what you really need to do: 

Stop and acknowledge where you are. And where you want to be.

When your relationship to music really fits you, it’ll lift you up. You know this deep down. Believing you can get there is likely buried deep, too.

So it’s about connecting to and learning to trust the wisdom inside you. And with a little safety and support it can unfold. You can’t do this on your own. Or you would have already.

Getting un-stuck may be quicker and easier than you expect.

Music can be joyful and fun. I bet you know this.

And I bet you also know that the rest of your life will be more joyful, when you finally find a place for music in it.

And, seriously, the world needs more people to be having fun right now!

Here’s where you begin:

Some frequent questions

Is this only for professional musicians?

This is for anyone who knows in their heart that music is a central, essential, non-negotiable part of their life.

Whether it’s about earning a living is going to be different for everyone.

What results can I get in six sessions?

In this time we can make a great start on your musical recovery.

I won’t promise that everything will suddenly burst into song. But you’ll make a start. And you’ll be going in the right direction at last.

After the initial three months I recommend that clients follow up with a monthly session for six months, to keep momentum and get ongoing support with their projects.

I’ve tried a lot of things and nothing has worked so far. Why is this different?

I hear you! I’ve been there. I tried everything before I worked with a coach.

My answer has three parts: 

1. It’s really hard to do new things without external support. If you could do this on your own, you already would have.

2. This isn’t an external solution. I will not tell you what to do. I will support you to look for the answers within you, and take action on them.  

3. If you’ve worked with other coaches, my difference (okay, one of my differences) is that I’m foregrounding music as a soul path in my coaching services.

Am I expected to do homework?

Yes. Coaching is much more effective and productive when you are prepared to put in some work in between sessions. This could be journaling or research, or work towards a project.

What’s life coaching? Is it like counselling?

Life coaching is a modality that’s been growing in popularity over the last 25 years. If you want to figure out what you’re here to do, find your ideal work, a life coach can be hugely helpful.

A coach can help you navigate the big and small decisions of life. Even just figuring out which direction to look for solutions. This is internal work, but most of us need external help and accountability. From someone who’s been there.

A life coach won’t tell you what to do. They hold space, listen, ask questions, help you set goals, sometimes make suggestions, help you celebrate every small success.

Life coaching is very different from counselling. Counselling and psychotherapy are professional mental health specialties that involve exploring a client’s past. I’m not a qualified mental health professional (although some coaches combine both specialties.).

The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines coaching as “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential”.

Can you help me get into the music industry? 

No. This isn’t in my scope of coaching.

But I can help you work out if that’s the right path for you to take, and support you with identifying and growing some of the personal skills you’ll need to navigate your chosen path. 

Practical details

How often are the coaching sessions?

A six session package is normally delivered in fortnightly intervals. I find that’s a good time to allow for integration and work towards tasks, practice and/or reflection.

Can I have more time between sessions?

There’s flexibility for life events. However, momentum may get lost when there is a big gap between sessions.

Platforms and communication

Coaching sessions take place on Zoom. In between sessions I welcome you contacting me by email.

Payment details

Your investment is $US630 for the coaching package.

I accept payment in Paypal and Stripe.

New Zealand clients can pay by direct bank deposit – ask me for the price in NZ currency.

Payment may be made in full one week before the first session, or in three payments, due one week before the first session, the third session and the fifth session.

Session times may be changed up to 48 hours ahead, however I prefer as much notice as possible as I have other clients wanting to book in.
