Are you in transition?
Newly divorced or widowed?  
Tired of your career?
Facing an empty nest?
​Considering retirement?
 
I’ve been there and I know it can be tough. It can make you feel stuck.
            
What I found is that we get stuck when our imagination goes dim; when we disconnect from our intuition. We get jammed up when fear gets in the way of our next step. We get caught in a rut when we lose sight of what jazzes us up.
 
What unsticks us is creativity.
Creativity is how we start to find purpose and meaning. It’s how we begin moving toward a goal. It’s a portal to our imagination and enthusiasm. It’s what puts oomph into everyday living.
 
It is also empowering and freeing.
 
And that’s what I want for you! Freedom so that you are able to share the fullest expression of your potential at every stage of your life.
 
When you do that you are launched into a whole new world of possibilities.​

As a Master Kaizen-Muse™ creativity coach I create a safe space where we can delve into the questions of where you are, where you want to be and how you might begin to work toward that vision. As we work together we will:
  • Revive your creative spirit and energy
  • Explore dreams left behind in a busy life
  • Add in your years of valuable life and work experience
  • Honor the values and beliefs that have become clearer over the years
  • Work with the principles of Kaizen - small steps, small questions, small rewards and small thoughts to keep you from feeling overwhelmed and to allow for joy in the amazing creative journey on which you are embarking.
All this will power your journey into the next stage of your life. It will allow you to create something meaningful and sustainable. It can be as big or small as you want, for as long as you want. You will write the code for the 2.0 version of you.
 
All coaching sessions take place by phone (long distance charges may apply) or via Zoom, a free video conferencing app.
 
Prior to selecting a coaching package we will have a complimentary 30 minute discovery call to make sure we’re a good fit. Feels good? Well then...

What Others Say About Working With Kathy

Your coaching was so helpful in getting me through my resistance and fear about the group class I started to teach in June.   Thanks to our discussions and your expert use of KMCC tools in coaching me, I was able to move through my blocks and gain confidence in my group facilitation skills. It made the group experience fun for me and my participants. Guided relaxations and mind sculpting always got to the heart of the matter and helped me gain powerful insights. And your gentle down-to- earth manner, your warmth and sense of humor made me look forward to every call. Thank you so much for your compassionate and effective coaching- you're the best!  - Jan G.-NJ
I can definitely say that the coaching changed my mindset into a writer's mindset. I now look at the world with a writer's eye and that has made all the difference to me. -- Ava S. – London, UK
Having a structured time set aside was what kept me going. Loved the prompts and the wide range of writing that came out of the group. Good energy and helpful feedback. Would never have done it on my own initiative.  – June Shatken, SI, New York
After just one session I was experiencing the JOY that I thought was long lost.  Without really thinking about it realizations came to me through small questions.  I still can't believe the progress made in such a short time.  The best is on the days you may be too busy or too stressed and just want to cancel... this coaching session without a doubt gets you back on track. 

I can't say enough about how much more alive and creative that I feel inside.  I'm a new and better me.  -- Veronica P., Elmwood Park, NJ
