Hi, I’m Maryanne, a qualified coach and artist with a passion for helping midlife women reconnect with their creativity and thrive through life’s transitions.
I believe creativity isn’t just a skill—it’s a powerful tool for navigating change, building confidence, and embracing the opportunities that midlife offers. Whether you’re rediscovering a creative practice, starting a new chapter, or simply seeking clarity, I’m here to guide you with compassion, curiosity, and practical tools that truly transform.
My Unique Approach
What sets me apart as a coach is the combination of skills, experience, and life lessons I bring to every session:
• Qualified Expertise: As a certified positive psychology coach, I combine scientifically proven techniques with an emphasis on lasting emotional wellbeing.
• A Creative’s Perspective: With over 10 years as a practicing artist and 25 years of experience running three different creative businesses, I know firsthand the joys and challenges of living a creative life.
• Empowering Self-Coaching Skills: My goal isn’t just to guide you—it’s to equip you with tools, habits, and self-belief so you can continue to thrive long after our work together ends.
• Lived Wisdom: My personal journey—navigating divorce, bereavement, caregiving, empty nest, relocation, and starting anew—has given me the empathy and resilience to help you embrace change and take bold steps forward.
This blend of coaching expertise, creative insight, and life experience allows me to meet you where you are and guide you to where you want to be.
What You Can Expect
Through my coaching framework, Creating Space, I’ll help you:
• Build unshakable creative confidence and embrace imperfection.
• Gain clarity on your goals and align them with your values.
• Establish habits and boundaries that protect your time and energy.
• Shift your mindset to one that welcomes change and sees failure as part of growth.

Whether it’s reigniting a creative practice, making space for something new, or simply finding your next step, my coaching is designed to support you every step of the way.
Why Work With Me?
I’ve been where you are. I know what it feels like to navigate uncertainty, to start over, and to wonder what’s next. But I also know the incredible possibilities that lie ahead when you embrace creativity and take bold action.
My coaching is more than guidance—it’s a partnership to help you thrive. Together, we’ll create a roadmap to your creative comeback and build the confidence, clarity, and resilience you need to take the leap.
Your next chapter is waiting. Let’s create it together.
