Direct support for creatives navigating real obstacles.
One to One
-
This is individual somatic coaching — practical, body-based, and built around what is actually getting in your way. A focused container designed around you.
What Gets In The Way
-
- that doesn't respond to preparation
-
— including the ones that have lasted years
-
-from sustained high output with no recovery
-
that has become a barrier to finishing or sharing work
-
— a role ended, a career pivoted, an identity shifted
-
-that follows you into the work no matter how much you've accomplished
- V. Locke.
“Mari’s facilitation offered a gentle, embodied invitation to meet the moment — not with perfection, but with presence. Through simple acts of shared performance, she guided us to witness ourselves with curiosity, noticing the stirrings of fear and story without turning away. Her style is maternal in the most respectful way — never intrusive, always attuned. There’s a quiet wisdom in her, like a sage who’s spent time listening to the trees. She holds space with patience and grace, allowing each of us to soften around our own edges. With her guidance, even discomfort felt like a doorway — not to be pushed through, but to be tended to. What unfolded was not dramatic transformation, but something just as valuable: a clearer, kinder attention to the body, the mind, and the moment.”
Who This Is For
You are a performer, musician, visual artist, filmmaker, writer, or creative leader. You are good at what you do — and something is making it harder than it should be right now.
This is not talk therapy. It is also not traditional coaching where you set goals and report back on them.
We work at the level of the nervous system — where performance anxiety, creative shutdown, and burnout actually originate. Using somatic regulation, mindfulness, and a structured creative process, we address what thinking alone has not shifted.
Sessions are structured and purposeful. You will leave each one with something concrete: a practice, a reframe, a clearer sense of what is happening and what to do about it.
What We Address
01
Nervous System Regulation
Understanding your patterns of activation and shutdown, and learning to work with them rather than against them.
02
Creative Blocks & Loss
Identifying what is underneath the block — including grief over creative losses that were never named or processed.
03
Sustainable Creative Practice
Building the internal conditions that allow you to create consistently — not just in ideal circumstances, but across the full range of your life.
How We Work
Hello! Hola!
You've tried other approaches
You have read the books, done the journaling, maybe worked with a therapist — and the pattern is still there.
The work matters to you
You are not questioning whether you are an artist. You are questioning why it has become so hard to access that part of yourself or to share your work consistently.
You are ready to work differently
You are open to approaches that go beyond analysis — that involve the body, not just the mind.
This Is the Right Fit If
The 1-1 Container
Three months.
Small roster.
Focused work.
We meet regularly over three months in a structured container; enough time to move through something real, not just scratch the surface.
Spots are intentionally kept limited. This is not a volume practice. Each client receives full presence and a process designed around their specific situation.
$1,800
3-Month Container (Payment plan available — 3 payments of $600, 6 payments of $300)
Enrollment is limited and opened intentionally. If you are considering this work, the first step is a brief inquiry — no pressure, no pitch. Just a conversation to see if it's the right fit.
