Hi,

I'm a creative director, curator, composer, and coach, empowering creatives to thrive.

I’ve been working in creative industries for the last 12 years. Working with the best media and innovative companies in the world.

I guide creatives to tell powerful stories through visuals, sound, and mindful expression.

Through the power of ritual, I help artists connect with nature, find clarity, develop skills for self-fulfilment, and find their voice—creatively.

My work lies at the intersection of beauty, pleasure, art, creative breakthroughs, nature and community.


My focus: deep connection—to oneself, to our environment, and to our kin.

    I spent years creating music, but my lack of real understanding of how to use Ableton left me routinely frustrated and overwhelmed. My creative session with Lola has me feeling so incredibly empowered and clear as to how to tackle my mixes. I am enormously grateful for her knowledge, patience and direction.
