“What a gift you’ve been in my life Mary. Really. I look at my art in a whole new way. I paint what I feel now, not what is expected, or think is expected of me. It’s very liberating. Of course, there’s always that notion to “please” the observer, which I need to get over as well, but it’s a lot less. I think I paint to please myself more now, and if someone else likes it, that’s just icing on the cake.”
Paula Skinner, Artist

“Mary is an amazing coach. She is the total package: wise, intuitive, generous, whimsical, and responsive to the needs of the moment. Her ability to genuinely connect with me allowed me to trust my own creative process much more than I could have on my own. Thanks to Mary, I can now hold my published memoir in my hands. Don’t let her approachable nature fool you - she's a master! If you are considering Mary as your creativity coach, there's no need to hesitate; her coaching services are well worth the investment.”

FAQs
Is Creativity Coaching only for artists or blocked creatives?
Heavens no! Creativity coaching has an incredibly wide range of applications. From business strategies, launches and systems to personal goals, interests and general well being. Your creativity is one of your greatest assets - coaching helps to activate and strength it!
What if I’m not sure if creativity coaching is for me?
Let’s talk. We can set up a short call to get to know it each other and find out what you are hoping to get from coaching. I'll explain how I think I can help and my coaching process. Then you get to decide which package best meets your needs.
What if I’m not creative?
I believe everyone is creative. Creativity is not just about being artistic. It’s about thinking differently and being open to new possibilities. It’s about anything that makes you curious and expansive. Creativity releases a deep sense of joy. Creativity coaching is a great way to explore your own creative process.
Where do the coaching sessions take place?
I use a user friendly, video conferencing platform called Zoom. It's free to you. All it requires is a device with a camera and mic, a computer, tablet or cell phone and an internet connection. It will feel like you are sitting with me over tea in my office.
Pricing is in US dollars, but I’m Canadian!
OK this isn’t phrased as a question but I hear you. With the Canadian/US exchange rate jumping all over the place I will take Canadian dollars on par. There is just a different payment system. Please e-mail coaching@marymcdowall.com and enter “I am Canadian” in the subject line. Please note, this is available only to Canadians living in Canada.
Can I pay in installments?
Of course. Just ask me about instalment pricing. (Note: all payments must be made prior to the completion of the coaching package.)
