Welcome to Therapeutic Art Coaching, where creativity meets transformation
I’m Denise Livingston, a certified life coach and expressive arts educator. I help people navigating life changes, creative blocks, and emotional overwhelm find their way forward—through intuitive art journaling and thoughtful, heart-led coaching.
This isn’t about making “good” art. It’s about giving your inner voice the tools to speak, and finding meaning in the mess.
“Denise helped me see certain aspects of my life more clearly using words and colors. I would highly recommend for anyone wanting more clarity.”
— Sunah Kahng
“Knowing Denise for the past 12 years has been a gift. Her artistic ability and creative spirit shine through her artwork and her coaching. What also shines through is her genuine desire to help others. Art coaching has become the vehicle for her to share her knowledge and offer a guiding hand. She creates a space which is built upon sensitivity, compassion, and grace. This feeling of safety establishes a grounded place for curiosity, self expression, and healing. Denise brings a heartfelt connection to her work with others. You understand right away that her intention is to provide the healing tools of art in a supportive and mindful way.”
— Jenny Werner, K-5 Visual Arts Teacher
“My art coaching session left me with a sense of clarity around my professional motivations and purpose, which helped me define my path forward. I am grateful for Denise’s calm and supportive guidance!”
— Brooks K., MA, LPC
“Denise shares her talents, experiences, and wisdom with the world as a Therapeutic Art Coach to help others navigate the ebb and flow of life with emotional, creative, and tangible expressions of one’s self. If you are familiar with the Japanese art of kinstsugi, her work is the “gold lacquer” that acts both as an adhesive to put the pieces back together, as well as highlights the brokenness, which makes the piece more valuable because of the restoration. Denise does this with lives as her talents and dedication help broken lives find meaning, resiliency, and a hopeful future.”
— Rev. John Miyahara
““I am extremely grateful for the process Denise created and the guidance she provided. She is an amazing coach and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for clarity and guidance.”
— Meg Gehl
