So is this program like group therapy for artists?
No-This is not therapy 🙂. Even though I have a background in psychology, this is not a substitute for qualified therapy if that is what you are looking for.
Coaching and therapy both aim to support personal growth but serve different purposes:
- Coaching focuses on the present and future. It’s action-oriented, helping you set goals, develop strategies, and overcome specific challenges. Coaching provides clarity, accountability, and tools to unlock your potential.
- Therapy delves into the past to address deeper emotional or psychological issues. It’s designed to help heal trauma, improve mental health, and address underlying conditions.
If your primary concern is exploring unresolved emotional issues, therapy may be more appropriate. If you want to take proactive steps to overcome barriers and achieve your artistic goals, coaching is a better fit.
Do I need to buy the course to join this community?
No. You can join the group without the course.
We will cover all topics and discuss during our sessions.
If you do buy it, your subscription rate is discounted and you benefit additionally from the framework & context.
Is this program only for musicians?
While the focus is on musicians, this program is open to all creative professionals, including visual artists, writers, filmmakers, and more. If you’re navigating an independent artistic career, the insights and tools provided will be applicable to your journey.
What does a typical weekly session look like?
Each session includes:
- A check-in where members share their wins, challenges, and questions.
- A focused discussion or workshop led by the coach on topics like conflict resolution, industry trends, or self-care.
- Peer input and coaching feedback to help you clarify your goals and develop actionable next steps.
- A clear wrap-up with accountability tasks to carry your momentum forward.
How many people will be in the group?
To ensure meaningful interaction, the first cohort will be tight! There are only 5 slots open at this call. This creates an intimate, supportive environment where everyone has the opportunity to share and receive personalized attention in a safe and qualified space.
If you're such a passionate mentor, why not offer this for free?
The first five applicants receive a month of mentorship at no cost.
Over the years, I’ve invested several thousand euros in providing free mentorship to independent artists in their early stages. Additionally, I offer one full scholarship each year.
However, my experience has shown that investing in our own growth has significant benefits:
- It reinforces the belief that we are worth the investment.
- It drives us to commit more deeply to the process, leading to better results.
What if I’m not comfortable sharing personal challenges in a group?
That’s completely understandable. While participation is encouraged, you’re never required to share more than you’re comfortable with. Many participants find that simply listening to others’ experiences provides valuable insights and a sense of connection. Additionally, you can always message me personally on the native app (its a private app, not Facebook!) for queries. I will try my best to answer in 72 hrs.
I’m not sure if I can afford this. How much does it cost?
The introductory offer for this program is designed to be accessible to independent artists who are still finding their way—not just those who have “made it” or have cash to burn. So the first 5 can sign up for $47/month instead of $97/month Pricing reflects the value of expert coaching and community support while remaining realistic for emerging artists.
What am I investing in and why?
As an artist, your time and energy are your most valuable resources. Anything that accelerates your growth will be the the most rewarding return on investment that you need.
Other professions are acutely aware of this necessity. Musicians and artists tend to resist investing in their self-development because they are taught only to get good at their art.
Nobody talks about how to sustain it. We will.
Can I join if I don’t have much experience in the music industry?
Yes. This program is for artists and musicians at all stages of their careers, whether you’re just starting out or looking to level up. The coaching and community will help you find direction, build confidence, and develop a plan tailored to your goals.
What’s the time commitment?
The program involves one weekly group session, typically 60–90 minutes. Beyond that, you’ll have optional exercises, accountability tasks, or reflections to work on between sessions.
What kind of topics will be covered?
- Negotiation techniques and pricing your work.
- Building a sustainable creative career.
- Self-Care: Managing stress and avoiding burnout.
- Marketing and branding as an artist.
- Overcoming procrastination and fear of failure.
- Setting goals and staying motivated.
Most importantly: ACCOUNTABILITY!
What makes you qualified to coach artists and musicians?
I have over 25 years of experience as an independent musician and educator, having worked across multiple cultures and continents and been a signed artist with labels in three different countries. I understand the struggles artists face because I’ve lived them myself. My approach combines deep industry knowledge with proven techniques for mindset development, business strategy, and self-care.
My Qualifications:
- Masters Degree (London College of Music)
- BA (Pop Akademie, Mannheim Germany)
- Higher Diploma in Jazz & Popular Performance JRSF, Freiburg Germany (In partnership with Berklee College of Music).
- A diploma in Psychotherapy
- Certification as a Fitness trainer.
What’s the difference between group coaching and private coaching?
- Group coaching offers the power of community—learning from others’ experiences, brainstorming together, and building connections. It’s dynamic, supportive, and more cost-effective.
- Private coaching provides one-on-one attention, allowing us to dive deeply into your unique challenges and goals.
Group coaching is a great starting point, while private coaching can complement it if you need additional personalized guidance. It's also the most cost-effective offer at the Holistic Musician Academy for live interaction.
Can I sign up for 1 on 1 coaching too?
Yes.
As part of this community, you get a discounted rate for 1 on 1 coaching. This could either be a single session or a package of sessions.
(The latter is usually reserved for VIP clients, but you get dibs).
