I’VE PLAYED THE STAGE. I’VE RUN THE CLINIC.

I’VE PLAYED THE STAGE. I’VE RUN THE CLINIC. *
Most people who make things for a living never get a real briefing on the mission. They’re told to grind, post more, tour harder. Nobody asks what they actually want from the work.
I’m a metal musician of over 20 years and a creative writer who graduated summa cum laude. I’m also a doctor of acupuncture and Oriental medicine with 12 years in the clinic, a yoga teacher for over 14 years, with deep roots in martial arts and several years in online marketing. I know what it takes to make the thing and what it takes to get it seen.
That mix is rare. Plenty of doctors advise creatives. Very few have loaded in a van, played to a half-empty room, and then sat across from a patient who couldn’t say what was wrong. In both places I learned that people rarely arrive with the real problem. There’s usually a truer want underneath, and once they name it, everything else gets easier.
WHO REPORTS FOR DUTY
Musicians and producers. Metal is home turf, but this applies across genres. Sound familiar?
“I’m struggling to finish tracks and find my voice, and I feel like I’m spinning my wheels.”
“I’ve hit a plateau. How did you navigate this stage of your career?”
“My latest work feels flat, but I can’t see where I’m going wrong.”
“How do I stay honest to the art while trying to grow?”
You don’t need a motivational poster. You need someone who speaks the language and won’t flinch at the answer.
Storytellers and creatives. Writers, filmmakers, streamers, gamers, designers: anyone whose output depends on their head, their sleep, and their reasons. I help you see how those pieces connect and what the work is actually for.
Founders of creative and wellness businesses. If you’re launching a studio, a production company, or a practice, I know how it goes. I built my own clinic from the ground up, and I know where new ventures stumble: the offer, the schedule, the first clients. I’ll help you build around what you want, not what the template says.
Guidance, motivation, and hard-won wisdom for creators and founders who want to understand themselves and what they’re really after. No hype, no fake hustle. Consulting and coaching, not medical treatment.
