“A wonderful and holistic approach.”

I would not be where I am with my business today, without you & your brilliant coaching, positive influence & strong, loving encouragement. …You have created a safe place for us to open up, share our doubts, conflicts, struggles, losses, pain & sadness, in a way that gives us confidence, strength, & the willingness & eagerness to stretch ourselves, & get way outside our comfort zones. It is a wonderful & holistic approach that you have cultivated. And all the while, we are all growing in our business. I see it each week in the calls, as different members, friends now, express their delight & enthusiasm over having sold pieces, written their first newsletter, created multiple IG posts using Canva, worked on their beautiful & unique brand boards, been accepted into galleries & juried shows, made sales on their new websites, or even been invited to make costumes for a West End theatre in London!

“Finally finding my own style.”

I have come so far! 1. a mailing list (still small but slowly grows). 2. KNOW the need for newsletters which is my "last mountain to do on reg basis", 3. new website, 4. work featured in two galleries, 5. been religious about my internet footprint on IG and FB, 6. have mastered Canva for the most part, 7. been able to create enough work for 2 shops and website combined, and 8. FINALLY moving into the area of "my own style".. You have helped me soooo very much and I adore you and all that you do for us. But mostly you hahah!

“I wonder how much more successful I could have been.”

I have built a few successful companies through the years. My only thoughts now are, I wonder how much more successful I could have been if I had known Kristina then! I am very excited about moving forward into my new ventures with Kristina at my side with her organizational skills and marketing research and mastery. As an artist and a visionary, Kristina has made it safe for me to go deep into my right brain in my studio and explore as a creator should, while she helps protect and look out for my brand and itinerary while reminding me of deadlines and updates. Meeting with Kristina has made me accountable in fulfilling my own dreams and goals.  She has changed the way that I do business with her brilliance. I can’t say enough.

“New customers, an increase in engaged followers and trusting myself to design what makes me happy.”

I am learning how important tech knowledge and the language that goes with it is. This is the most difficult aspect for me. I grew up in the 70’s when computer education did not exist and choosing a medical career also taught me very little. So when I speak “awareness” I am thinking of all the possibilities out there of how and what to use to setup, design, incorporate websites, advertise for my small business. It is very overwhelming! I believe working with a business coach that focuses on challenging me to think about what direction I want to go with my business is essential. I’ve learned how to present myself as a better artist and business person. I am seeing this in new customers, an increase in engaged followers, and trusting myself to design what makes me happy.

“I’m feeling brave enough to submit to magazines.”

As an artist, marketing has always been at the bottom of my list - but Kristina has taken me in hand.  Now my Instagram feed is getting compliments, I'm feeling brave enough to submit to magazines, and I've discovered the joys (or at least the benefits) of forward planning.  She's always a pleasure to talk with, and leaves me with a host of good ideas. 10/10

“All the tech stuff doesn’t overwhelm me anymore.”

Kristina is full of empathy, suggestions, structure, and encouragement! She has your best interests at heart and she utterly believes in you! The program is full of tips, tools for action-taking, guidance, different perspectives. An overall firm, continuous structure that contains you along your artful journey. I’ve made baby step after baby step. My fear has been reduced, my ideas are focused, my actions are now more continuous and the program has been an incredible support and place of guidance. Totally recommend!

“I’ve gone from just thinking about art to actually having my art in shows.”

Kristina has put together a well-structured program to help aspiring artists create a vision for their art and begin to bring it out into the world in the way that best suits them. She has been a huge support to me as I have gone from just thinking about making and selling art to actually having my art in shows.

“Now my millennial friends ask for my assistance in growing their social media following.”

I now know that I can learn to do more than make beautiful things, AND I have clarity about how I want to spend my time. Guess what? I want to make more beautiful things. Period. I have been able to do what I love since I met Kristina, sell my work more fluidly that ever … Regardless of the size or scope of your dreams, I have found Kristina to be patient beyond words, kind, non shaming, thoughtful and someone I would be honored to call my friend. She is talented in all things I never knew I needed to know and I have found that there are important details of running a business that I actually enjoy, in addition to making art. The best compliment a second career business owner can have is when her millennial friends, adult kids and colleagues ask for assistance in growing their social media following. (Makes me feel like a magician.)
