Coaching
We offer coaching and consulting for writers, and anyone navigating a creative process…
…whether that involves making Art in any medium, building a business that feels like play, defining your brand, or simply finding confidence on your creative road-less-travelled.
For many people we work with, writing is just one expression of a much larger creative unfolding. Your book, project, or idea is rarely the whole story; it’s often part of a deeper vision trying to come into form.
You don’t need to identify as “a writer” to receive coaching from us, or to consult with us. We believe that the Artist, thinker, or builder inside you deserves support no matter what you’re creating.
Between us, we’ve spent over 20 years coaching and consulting artists, filmmakers, musicians, authors, and entrepreneurs through the actual process of making things.
It’s messy. It’s beautiful. We love it. We’re here for it.
And we’re serious about play. There’s a powerful, magical intelligence to your art when it’s allowed to unfold with childlike wonder—and our job is to help you work in harmony with that intelligence by reconnecting you to the spirit of why we create in the first place: because it’s fun.
Twice as tricky
Working with us together is like journeying across an endless valley with a raven circling overhead and a friendly mountain goat trotting alongside.
The Raven soars above it all, flying high, seeing patterns and possibilities that are invisible from the ground. She calls down to you from the sky with a raucous laugh, a piercing clarity, and laser-sharp insight that reorganizes how you see your path.
The Goat moves differently. Steady, sure-footed, and quietly relentless, he knows how to climb what looks unscalable. Where others see sheer rock, he finds footholds. Where others hesitate, he keeps moving—carefully, intelligently, step by step (occasionally stopping to munch some lovely greens).
Together, they form a powerful alignment of vision and execution.
The Raven reveals where you are truly headed and what is getting in the way.
The Goat turns that awareness into ascent—practical, grounded, and surprisingly graceful progress through terrain that once felt impossible.
Raven
as your coach
Raven helps you think faster, see more clearly, and move into confident action. She identifies patterns quickly, cuts through complexity, and turns scattered ideas into creative direction.
She strengthens how you communicate and present your ideas —helping you write and speak with clarity, precision, and style without overthinking.
Her approach is direct, kind, and lightly mischievous. She challenges assumptions, identifies obvious ways you can win, and has a way of making truth feel a little fun to face—like you’ve been caught, but in a way you secretly enjoy.
Working with Raven feels energizing and clarifying: less confusion, more confidence, and a to-do list you can actually accomplish.
Ryan
as your coach
Ryan helps you slow down, ground, and understand what’s really going on beneath the surface.
He works deeply with patterns, blocks, and internal resistance—helping you see what’s driving your decisions and where you’re getting stuck.
He helps you connect the dots in your creative process, and creates a space where you feel inspired to be more vulnerable, more authentic, and express yourself without apology.
His approach is steady, compassionate, and intuitive. You get clarity, emotional grounding, and sustainable progress without force or pressure.
Working with Ryan feels stabilizing: more ease, better self-trust, and discipline that actually feels good.
“My 4 weeks of coaching with Ryan brought me profound clarity around things I have spent my entire life trying to understand. I feel a much stronger sense of coherence, alignment, and confidence in my path moving forward.
Ryan is a leader with a calm, grounding presence and a rare ability to articulate complex, subtle experiences and bring them into focus with such precision and care.
I wholeheartedly recommend working with Ryan to anyone who is seeking the same clarity that I needed for so many years.”
— Marisela MartinezSessions with us feel alive and directional.
We’ll map the terrain ahead and make sure you’re equipped to navigate with ease. We’ll help you course-correct, rest accordingly, and take confident steps day by day.
Over time, you’ll notice faster breakthroughs, steadier progress, and a creative safety net that makes risk feel calculated rather than terrifying—so you leave each session clearer, braver, and strangely excited for the next challenge.

Creative Coaching & Consulting FAQs
I started working with one of you, can I switch to the other?
1
No worries, we’re happy to share the love! If you started out working with Raven, you can switch to working with Ryan (or vice versa) at no cost. However, if you decide you’d like to switch back, or that you’d like to work with both of us, we’ll move you up to the double-coach package and price.
What’s it like to work with both of you?
2
Working with both of us means that we’ll both show up on calls and both give you our individual, as well as combined, feedback. You’ll get twice the perspective, and a complementary set of energies to play with. Both of us have slightly different yet related skills and approaches to creativity, writing, and facing our fears. Together, we offer a very warm, safe, and competent space for you to grow and learn.
What if I want to stop my ongoing coaching?
3
Absolutely not a problem. Our coaching agreements allow you to pause or stop monthly sessions, with no fees as long as you give us some notice.
Do you take payment plans?
4
You can pay for ongoing coaching monthly, or biweekly. Single coaching sessions and 1 week sprints are payable upfront only.
What’s the difference between coaching and consulting?
5
While similar and sometimes used interchangeably, coaching and consulting are two different things. As coaches, we provide encouragement, feedback, and motivation as well as practical guidance for achieving your goals. As consultants, we offer our professional opinion, educated perspective, experience, and strategic advice for your creative process. Our sessions are a combo of coaching and consulting, depending on the topic(s) in question and your particular needs that day.
Yes, in the sense of talking about it, coaching you on your internal beliefs and mindset about it, and giving you feedback on your concept and writing process. However, we do not do any practical work on a manuscript within our coaching containers. If you’d like to develop a book with us, have your manuscript reviewed, edited, formatted, published, or otherwise worked on in some way, we do offer those services separately.

So will you work on my book with me during our coaching container?
