Personal financial counseling for artists, writers, musicians, performers, and alternative wellbeing practitioners.

Make friends with the Future, while living Now.

Your debt is climbing. You swear you’ve paid thousands on that credit card balance, but somehow the balance goes up instead of down. Your finances are careening. You cover your eyes and look the other way. Thinking of money makes you sick and fills you with dread. Money is bad. You want a creative career that aligns with your life holistically, but everyone around you says give up and get a real job. The future? Hypothetical. You need to survive now. But the years are flying by…
Here are some questions to ask yourself. 
When did money become your enemy instead of ally? Money, which is a representation of energy? When did you become disconnected from that energy’s flow in the surrounding ecosystem (society)? Maybe it’s time for a new central image. One that’s holistic and connected. Maybe it’s time to make a financial map for navigating the flow.

My name is Dawn. I worked as a CPA for the first decade of my career, after which I spent the next decade as a creative writer living at the edge and volunteering for grassroots creative organizations. This has given me a unique combination of financial technical knowledge and pragmatic creative-life experience. I know what it’s like. These two experiences make me uniquely positioned to help creatives navigate financial life at the edge.

My approach to financial wellbeing is holistic. This includes the intellectual, emotional, physical, and spiritual sides of creating a personal financial system. My own journey has integrated over a decade’s experience as a CPA in public accounting, my creative life as a writer, my spiritual explorations, as well as my search to discover a meaningful relationship with money. I would like to use these experiences to help you. Let’s create a harmonious relationship with money together, aligning both your financial and creative/wellbeing goals, making money an ally in the pursuit of your explorations.

HELLO.

Finacial Wellbeing

I see finances as an energy system, requiring balance and harmony like any other living energy system. This includes use, storage, and movement of information and energy, as well as adaptation and exchange of these things with the environment. By putting the proper practices and channels into place, energy (that’s money!) entering a system can automatically flow to the right places.
