Zia gets RESULTS! I couldn’t stand my 9-5, and was beating myself up about not living my passion. After working with Zia, I was promoted to a role I THRIVE in and that lets my creativity flow. If you want to blow through obstacles and feel supported in the process, hire this lady!!!

Zia is interested in what makes your soul sing, how it sings, and why it peeks out or hides when it does. She understands the inner critics—the passion they silence or the shame they leave behind. She masterfully supported me into a new process and productivity. She’s magically insightful and articulate!
— J., painter
Artists need this service. Our creative life can be as much of a mystery to us as it is to others. Zia’s guidance in turning my fears into action items—reversing them—was very helpful.

Zia helped me recharge my creativity by identifying mental barriers I didn’t even realize I had. I feel reinvigorated, with limitless creative energy.

I would definitely recommend working with Zia as a coach. She was very good at really listening and asking questions that helped me help myself. Almost a year later, I’m still using the strategies I learned to get past my self-inflicted roadblocks!

Zia’s often startling insights gave me new hope that I can reclaim my creativity. I learned practical tools to shift out of blocks. I learned to breathe into discomfort instead of running in terror from it. Zia gave me permission to love my work again—to feel the JOY and PASSION of creating. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Zia.

Talking with Zia helped me identify the reasons for my procrastination in pursuing my dissertation. Zia helped me build my self-confidence when I was filled with doubt. I appreciate her help and am currently moving forward towards my goals.

I loved participating in Zia’s workshop series Your Creative Flow. I received tools to understand and manage my anxiety around creating. So much of what I learned was relevant to other areas of my life, not just my creative practice. Thank you, Zia!
