Live and create more powerfully in the age of disconnection.
You are a person who loves what you do. You’re highly creative, know how to show up consistently and achieve your goals. You’ve learned that your success depends on the quality and depth of your attention and focus and is perhaps the most essential contributor to your outcomes. You know that deep flow states are the key to your ability to create.
You’re ready for more — more success, more flow, more clarity and more connection.
In spite of your efforts and abilities, today's fast paced, hyper-connected world is perhaps challenging your ability to stay connected and in flow as and when you want.
You don't know why what worked before doesn’t quite work now
You may feel rushed and pressured to perform and produce
You’re not feeling fulfilled when you reach your goals
You’re experiencing hidden (and not so hidden costs) to your health, your relationships and the quality of your life even when things seem to be going well
The constant demand to operate at higher speeds trains the nervous system to stay in activated states for longer periods of time. This means that there are fewer opportunities to drop into true rest and relaxation - the state when the body and mind can relax and replenish. Our ability to access deeply focused states with intention becomes compromised. This affects our ability to perform well in the midst of the distractions and challenges of daily living, all of which can compromise our dreams without us realizing this is happening.
Learn to connect deeply so you can create a life and business that brings you joy, peace of mind and happiness.
My coaching is dedicated to assisting you to:
connect deeply through laser focused attention
enhance and deepen your self-leadership skills
access deep flow states on demand
CONNECT
INTUIT
CREATE
Learn to harness your attention and focus at will rather than being at the mercy of a fast paced, dopamine-induced world full of distractions. This will allow you to connect deeply and intuit your vision more clearly so that you can create with ease.
You need more than just a little time or head space to transform your big ideas into an easy reality. Imagine also having deep, powerful inner support and encouragement, a calm mind that can create space for your ideas and plans, and a personal toolbox that helps you to maintain that calm mind so you can keep your attention on what matters. I can guide you in creating these resources for yourself using simple techniques.
LEARN
REINFORCE
INTEGRATE
Learn to create and nurture the right conditions so it is easy to stretch beyond your current abilities, beyond your current situation or your current perceived disadvantages. Reinforce these strategies through supported practice until they integrate and become your new normal. Then apply the same principles and practices in any new situation and circumstance.
As your coach, I am the advocate who will:
vigorously hold the bigger dream that you may find hard to see for yourself
wholeheartedly believe in your potential to create effortlessly and fearlessly
draw out your deeper skills through powerful conversations that propel you towards inspired action
help you understand and use your own power to lead yourself
I offer a series of compelling conversations that build one upon the other, resulting in a new inner landscape where you can confidently lead yourself in whichever direction you desire.
FAQs
What is the difference between coaching and therapy?
In therapy, the client is looking back to understand themselves more deeply and to resolve trauma. In coaching the client is renegotiating their present world in order to forge a new trajectory going forward towards what they truly want to do.
What does it mean to own your power?
You create what you want fearlessly with clarity, purpose and meaning. You feel fulfilled and sure about what you are doing, and understand how it fits into your life and aligns with your deepest values. You, your work and your life embody your deepest values which leads to a sense of deep accomplishment and self satisfaction, deep self connection, a calm centered mind and the life that you wish for.
Who is this for?
This type of collaborative conversation is for anyone who wishes to reach deeper and further in their business or personal life. Whether your concerns are around having less anxiety and stress or discovering what you would be happier doing or simply having more clarity in any area of your life, you can benefit greatly from placing yourself in the position where a coach can support you and help you reach your goals with more speed and ease.
How much time or commitment do I need to invest?
I offer an initial session at no cost so we can gauge whether you and I are a good fit. And then we plan together what your coaching packet will look like.

Ready is not a requirement, but open and willing to do the work, to push your edge and keep showing up and trusting yourself for choosing this process, is. If you can find the courage to jump, I’ve got your back as you grow your wings.

“Zia doesn’t need to see your work or your resume. She knows that you wouldn’t seek her out if your efforts and desire to make art weren’t already solid. She is interested in your soul and what makes it sing, how it sings, and why it peeks out or hides when it does. She is an artist and instinctively understands the inner critic(s) that visit your head and studio, the passion they can silence or the shame they leave behind. She gently, yet directly got me to feel where I was stuck and masterfully supported me to somatically shift into a new process and new productivity. Each session had a gem of wisdom that continued to reverberate long after the session ended. She’s magically insightful and articulate!”
“I am really impressed with the level of thought Zia is bringing to this endeavor. Plus, artists need this service. I think our creative life is as much a mystery to us as it is to others. I had done a pretty thorough inventory of my fears in life, but found Zia’s suggestion to turn them into action items, reverse them, was very helpful. Being reminded that the creative flow doesn’t require hyper-awareness, in fact it can kill the flow, was very valuable.”
“Zia helped me recharge my creativity level by identifying mental barriers that I didn’t even realize I had. I feel reinvigorated, with limitless creative energy.”
“Zia gets RESULTS! I started working with her, and I couldn’t stand my 9-5, and beating myself up about “not doing enough for my passion.” Somehow, after sorting through my exact feelings about the job and releasing all the attachment I had to leaving, I was promoted to a role that I THRIVE in and lets my creativity flow. I’m still at the same company but, boy howdy has my quality of life drastically changed. As per working on my passion: we took baby steps everyday to work more and more towards Theatre, and also recognize how much work I was ALREADY doing. This made all the difference in the world. Working with Zia is worth the investment, both financially and temporally. She tailors her program to you and the results speak for themselves! If you want to blow through obstacles and feel supported in the process, hire this lady!!!”
You drive your life instead of the events of your life driving you.
“I would definitely recommend working with Zia as a coach. She is very good at really listening and waiting until I am finished describing an issue before offering any insight. She is great at asking questions that help me help myself. Her suggestions help me to discover even more.
Almost a year later after working with Zia, when I need that extra push, I can still bring forth the image of her telling me the simple things I can do to get past my self inflicted roadblocks!”
You love all the parts of your life, even the parts you never thought you could. Yes, even your day job!
“The expanded perspective offered from your often startling insights and observations has helped me to have new hope that I can reclaim my creativity. I feel the psychological grip on my free expression loosens when I work with you, I feel a release and rush of energy when you point out limitations that exist only in my own mind. I learned practical tools to shift my thinking and to shift out of blocks. I learned to breathe into discomfort and to inquire about blocks or uncomfortable feelings instead of running in terror from them. I learned to appreciate my own unique gifts and to guard my creativity as perhaps the most important thing in my life. You have given me permission to love my work again, and to see it as sacred. The individual sessions and group coaching with you have given me a renewed hope that I can be the artist I want to be, that I can actually free myself from chronic inhibitions and, above all, that I can feel the JOY and PASSION of creating again.
I wholeheartedly recommend working with Zia.”
You access talent, strength and confidence you never knew you had.
“Talking with Zia helped me to identify the excuses I was using to procrastinate pursuing my dissertation. Zia helped me to build my self-confidence when I was filled with doubt that my work would make a contribution. She helped me recognize how everyday anxiety was keeping me from pursuing what I really loved doing. I appreciate her help and am moving forward towards my goals.”
You understand what self-empowerment really is and actually embody it.
“I loved being a participant in the ‘Your Creative Flow’ workshop series. What stood out for me was receiving the tools to understand and manage my anxiety around creating. I especially loved how so much of what Zia talked about was relevant to other areas of my life, not just in my creative practice. I think it helped me to understand more clearly why I wanted to be an artist and why I hadn’t been actively creating.
Thank you, Zia!”
You actually start looking forward to what you are going to do, rather than looking back at what you have done or not done.
“Talking with Zia is a little like having a conversation with your creative self. She is a supportive and knowledgeable resource for working artists. ”
“I felt safe having deep conversations with Zia while coaching. I learned how to manage my time, money and thoughts well. Her guidance on how important it is to do that really helped me to organize myself. It was nice having a coach to talk to about money, personal ideas and my thoughts about what I wanted in life.
Zia was always kind to me and let me talk things out. Her feedback was very empowering and genuine. I learned a lot and noticed my life improved in several different areas. There was lots of personal growth. While we were working together, we both discovered new ways to communicate and brainstorm.”
