Hi, I’m Brandy!
I'm on a mission to help others find their way back to their creative selves. Because I've been there – in that place where you think you're "not good enough" to deserve creative joy. Where you've convinced yourself that making art is for "real artists" and dancing is for "real dancers."
But here's what I know for sure: That creative spark you remember? It's still there. Maybe it's hiding under a pile of "should"s and "not good enough"s, but it's there. And helping you rediscover it? That's my jam.
I'm not here to turn you into a professional artist (unless that's your dream!). I'm here to help you remember how it feels to create without judgment, to play without pressure, and to express yourself without apology.
Through personalized coaching, I help creative souls dust off their dreams and rediscover their long-lost sense of wonder. Where other well-meaning approaches have left you with a pile of unfinished projects and unused art supplies, I guide you in breaking free from the 'practical adult' prison you've built (complete with ergonomic office chair). Together, we craft a path transforming your everyday experience from 'meh' to 'magical'—bringing back that sparkle in your eyes and the skip in your step you thought was gone forever."
Let's Create Together
Whether you're dreaming of picking up that paintbrush again, dusting off your tap shoes, or finding entirely new ways to express yourself, I'm here to be your guide, your cheerleader, and your permission-giver (until you realize you never needed permission in the first place).

My Story
Picture a little girl with tap shoes on her feet, paint on her hands, and music in her heart. That was me – bouncing from ballet to piano, from painting to printmaking, tasting every flavor of creativity I could find. Art wasn't something I did; it was who I was.
Then came college, and with it, that sneaky voice we all know too well: "You're not the best dancer in the room. There are better painters. More talented musicians."
That voice? It's quite the convincing little critic. And I listened to it. I packed away my paintbrushes, hung up my dance shoes, and told myself that if I couldn't be exceptional, why bother at all?
But here's the thing about creativity – it doesn't just politely excuse itself when we show it the door. It lingers. It whispers. It shows up in secret dance parties around your living room (oh yes, I had those), in doodles during meetings, in the way your heart skips when you pass an art supply store.
The Plot Twist
One day, while attempting to perfect my signature "nobody's watching" dance moves in my living room, it hit me: Why did I need to be The Best to deserve the joy of creating?
That thought changed everything.
I timidly stepped back into an art class. Then another. Signed up for adult dance classes that became the highlight of my week. And you know what? The joy came rushing back – not because I was creating masterpieces or preparing for a gallery show, but because I was simply allowing myself to play again.
I had found her – that paint-splattered, dance-loving, joy-seeking part of myself I'd left behind. And let me tell you, our reunion has been SPECTACULAR.
My Professional Journey
My path back to creativity wasn't a solo adventure. I worked with amazing coaches who helped me rediscover my spark, and their impact inspired me to become a coach myself. For over six years, I've been guiding others toward more fulfilling lives, combining my personal experience with professional expertise as a certified interior designer.
I'm proud to hold certifications from two renowned coaching institutions:
Beautiful You Coaching Academy (Melbourne, Australia)
Yes Supply (Toronto, Canada)
But my real education? It's been the beautiful blend of formal training and lived experience – both as a coach and as someone who's walked the exact path many of my clients are on. Each client I work with adds to my understanding of the creative journey, and I bring all of these insights to our work together.
Fun Facts
When I'm not coaching or creating, you might find me:
Sharing snacks with my four-legged CEO, Emma (she runs this business, I just work here)
Getting lost in art history books (especially if they're about Italian art)
Enjoying a nice, long nap — is there anything better? I’ll answer that — no.
Finding surprising zen in the simple art of vacuuming (yes, really!)
These little quirks? They're part of my creative story too. Because living a creative life isn't just about making art – it's about finding joy in unexpected places and being unapologetically yourself.
