Bring Your Great Idea to Life

Do you have an idea, a project, a creative desire, a universal tap-tap that needs attending?

Maybe your “one day I’d like to” is stuck on repeat: a book, creative endeavor, making art, designing a home, offering classes and workshops. You know.

I specialize in working with people who are bursting with a creative idea, or creative desire—but don’t know where or how to begin.

Let’s get you out of your head and create!

Together, we will step into the creative frontier, and you will spring into action—while dismantling myths around the creative process, wisening up to the siren song of resistance, and getting grounded in your innate creative nature.  

The best part is how often you’ll surprise yourself with what you’re capable of producing in the process. As you come to better understand how creativity and the act of living are made for each other, you will move further into the joy of doing, and away from those limiting beliefs and behaviors—for life. 

A bit of creator’s mischief

We start with this: The beliefs and ideas that hold you back, make you dig in your heals, scare you, feel threatening, too uncertain aren’t real. We’re going to poke and prod at conditioned thinking, habits, and patterns with curiosity. Without judgment. With courage. This, over time, will break down the resistance speed bumps. Freedom and fresh insights follow.

In the meantime, I’ll be right there, with you: challenging those old thoughts, encouraging, nudging, providing feedback and ideas, playing and laughing with you pointing the way, strategizing, and pushing you in the way a sports coach lovingly keeps her athletes on track when they want to lay down on the pool deck.

“Working with Tatyana opened my mind to all sorts of possibilities, and get out of my head. All of the doubts, barriers to growth, and fears dissolved as I considered a new way of looking at things. She helped me think differently and creatively about my dreams and desires…but it didn’t stop there… I was able to take action and pursue passions that I had been dismissing previously.

I’m so grateful for Tatyana and appreciate her gentle guidance, incredible support, and dynamic coaching. She was a huge factor in where I am today professionally and personally. ” — Monica Finifrock, RN BSN MFAce

Why coaching?

Coaching is a way to create more for yourself and your life than you’re able to create on your own. A coaching partnership is filled with conversations that spark fresh insight, exalt the senses and expand the mind and spirit, all of which can lead to a new understanding of what it means to be human in a very lively world. Coaching can get you going, and keep you going. That’s why I hire my coaches.

Coaching is also what you make of it.

Coaching is like going on a discovery. It’s provocative, challenging, fun, creative, curious, insightful, and opens the Freedom door. It can be like going on an outdoor adventure, or being on a rambling city tour bus. It’s being willing to be impacted, to see something new. You can have gentle, comforting shifts and insights, or blow your own mind with holy-sh*t epiphanies. The speed and impact of the ride is up to you.

I provide guidance, companionship and exploration for:

  • Creatives and creative professionals who have a project underway and are stalled, feel stuck.

  • Anyone who is goddamn ready to start that project, and now’s the time.

  • Inspired individuals want to play and re-connect with their creativity, even if you don’t have a specific project in mind.

  • People who want to start or nurture a writer’s/creator’s life.

  • Those of you who might have lost the wag in your tail, and want to fall back in love with life again, or at least improve your quality of daily life.


Let's go exploring!

I approached Tatyana when I needed someone to engage me in the writers’ life. I needed someone to be my coach, referee, and cheerleader. Tatyana was exactly what I needed — an advisor, a critic, a friend. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.
