CREATIVE  COACHING

Now offering private creative coaching sessions held in Michaela’s San Diego home studio.

Sessions are tailored to meet each individual’s goals—whether reigniting a creative spark, deepening a painting practice, or simply carving out space to create.

Limited virtual sessions available by request for those outside San Diego.

Note: Coaching is not designed for professional artists seeking formal training. This is a more personal, reflective experience meant to nurture creativity and provide gentle guidance.

A Return to Self Through Art.

Whether you're rekindling a creative spark or stepping into your practice for the first time, these offerings are designed to guide, inspire, and nurture your artistic voice in a way that feels deeply personal and meaningful.

One-on-One Private Art Sessions

L'Atelier Privé

This is not a course. It's a sanctuary. A secret studio space for those craving focused, personalized instruction and creative transformation.

Held at my San Diego home studio or virtually, each two-hour session is intentionally crafted around your goals-whether that's developing technique, exploring new mediums, or simply making space to create.

  • Individuals seeking intentional, one-on-one guidance in a nurturing setting.

  • Drawing, watercolor, acrylic, mixed media. Oil available after foundational skills are established.

Note: A brief consultation call is required before booking to ensure alignment.

A Note on L'Atelier Privé

"Atelier" means artist's studio in French-a word I fell in love with while studying painting in France. "Privé" means private. Together, L'Atelier Privé is a quiet nod to my French grandmother, and to the beauty that arises when we make space for art, intimacy, and a more meaningful way of living.

Availability is limited and not open year-round. If you're feeling the call, I invite you to inquire.

SEMI-PRIVATE GROUP Sessions

Gather & Create

A more intimate alternative to traditional workshops, these 2-hour sessions are perfect for creative celebrations, soulful family time, or meaningful gatherings with friends. Each class is customized to your group's dynamic and skill level, blending light instruction with joyful exploration.

  • Groups of 3-8

  • Your home, a rented space, or my studio (for groups of 4 or fewer)

  • Watercolor, acrylic, or mixed media

  • All materials, individual guidance, and plenty of inspiration
