Meet Your Host

Hi, I’m Kesem. I create warm, guided spaces for reflection, creativity, and connection. I help people pause, notice what matters to them, and step forward with clarity, intention, and ease.

I’m a ceramic designer, life and creativity coach, and I practice clay therapy — all of which nourish different parts of the soul and inspire my work.

Here’s what creatives had to say after working together:

“I attended a creative group coaching class and had a very positive experience. The group setting added a unique dimension to the learning process, allowing for a rich exchange of thoughts and experiences. What stood out to me was the class’s ability to create a supportive environment where people felt comfortable changing their perspectives. It truly fostered a sense of community and growth. I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking both personal and creative development. Thank you so much Kesem.”

“Kesem’s coaching has helped me to have a clearer view of my creative projects and goals. Since the first session, we have understood and focused on my goals. From a very comprehensive plan, I slowly saw each step needed to finalize my project. It was easier to see results and find motivation along the way. It was easy to feel comfortable talking and explaining things to Kesem; she is very organized and professional. The communication was prompt and clear.“

“Kesem helped me have a calm approach to shaping my creative ideas and being more productive.

It was beneficial to put a name on a feeling or a challenge, understand how to deal with it, and move forward. For example, I found out that I was unaware that I could get support for my creative work and that I struggled to express it; that was a huge step”.

“Having a creative coach helped me better understand why I’m an artist. Having a coach who is an artist herself and who understands my issues was beneficial. The coaching process helped me to change my mindset about my art-making.”

“Kesem supported me with my new business and helped me increase my awareness of what I want and need to move forward with my business. In addition, she helped me clarify the steps I wanted to take and create an action plan. Getting this support helped me to get motivated and take action.”
