Client Reviews
“I was in the midst of beginning a new venture - my tattoo studio, and only just starting to take clients (if even then?) while trying to decide where I wanted to focus my attention and what it would look like day-to-day. I was struggling with feeling like I had too many things on my mind and not enough bandwidth to tackle them.
As a result of coaching with Lauryn I started blogging again, sending out newsletters, I completed two successful Art Markets, consistently booked tattoo clients (including an 80 year old who got her first tattoo ever!), landed three new Illustration clients, manifested a part time marketing job with Tequila brand and a new mentor artist friend!
My favorite thing about working with Lauryn was being coached by another introverted creative artist who has had their own struggles and achievements. She helped me see that my questions and problems weren't "silly" and her transparency really helped me feel more comfortable opening up, which is a difficult thing to find in a coach! She also knows her stuff - she’s been there, done that, and is doing it all at once.”

“Before coaching with Lauryn I was pretty scattered and burnt out on how to proceed after my first large sculpture commission. I was nervous about sharing my work with others and online and felt like I lacked a plan for what was coming next.
During our time working together, I landed a 9k commission, gave my first ever artist talk live with a 40+ person audience, planned the future of my podcast, and got over my fear of sharing and restarted my IG with a sustainable plan. I’ve become a self assured artist who get sh*t done and is building a sustainable future.
Lauryn is so easy to talk to and open up with, no judgment, really joyful and excited always, curious and understanding, expert advice in sales, great metaphors and ways of explaining things, funny, compassionate and approachable. I would recommend her services to emerging artists who are ready to start their journey of upleveling ASAP!”

When I started coaching with Lauryn I had no songs out, I was headed to the studio but had no clue what things would look like, had no team, and very little self concept. Now I feel pretty confident that I can execute just about anything I'd like. I have released my first two singles from my EP with a third on the way. Lauryn is really helpful with accountability on tasks I've agreed to complete, and it makes me feel like the things I do actually matter.
As a result of our coaching, I’ve been feeling more confident, as if my art is worth something and getting to celebrate things that worked feels good and like there are actually things worth celebrating now. Lauryn can help you recognize your own value, working with her can help you push through blocks that might keep you stuck otherwise for a long time. I would recommend her coaching to creatives who want to learn more about how to take things from ideas and bring them to the physical.”

“As a result of our coaching work I have become a more confident individual and have an overall greater sense of purpose. I know how to better attract new opportunities for work and expand my creative community.”
“One of the things I love about working with Lauryn is that I can openly talk about my situations without feeling judged - it’s a comfortable space and I look forward to the sessions.
Some of the biggest insight I’ve had while working together is that 1. I don’t have to make so many lists to start work. 2. Not all work has to have a hidden meaning, it can simply look pretty sometimes. 3. I’m able to recognize when I’m procrastinating and not scratch the itch of having to re-work something (when it’s already finished) and to leave it alone and move on!”
“During our time working together I was able to commit to a weekly newsletter and content plan, I reached out to collaborators which resulted in my prints getting stocked in a local shop, and landing client work for editorial illustrations. I also completed my first zine, printed and assembled it myself, and sold 20+ copies.
Because of 1:1 coaching with Lauryn I now dwell less frequently on negative thoughts and make more effort to pause, observe my feelings, and think of alternative thoughts to detach from the previous negative spirals.
I also feel less dependent on social media for validation in regards to my art, and have become a more confident person who believes in the worth of my own voice and inquiry.”
“The most beneficial thing I learned while working with Lauryn is that I work better when I set a few achievable goals that allow me to explore or produce results. Often, when I become interested in a career or field, I research and talk to a couple of people in the field and then make a hasty decision. My mindset has shifted to embrace learning and not put extra pressure on myself that this is my final choice/end pathway.”
“One of the biggest take-aways from working with Lauryn was that I’m awesome and I’ve always been awesome. I realized that I work hard and get a lot of stuff done and do cool projects. I am making strides in my work and I am growing.
A big shift as a result from coaching is that I have been feeling really grateful for my life both in and outside of work. Things that have caused me anxiety in the past I’m choosing to look at from a different perspective. Also, my feelings around time have shifted, and I have more work-life balance.”
