“It has been more than a year since I started to work with Anna-Lise. For me that was a time I recently graduated from art school and I felt like I could use some professional guidance and support. What speaks to me is how Anna-Lise’s guidance is focussed on artists, which is something I haven’t found anywhere else.

She has a passion for what she does and is great at tailoring the sessions to her clients unique situation.

I have definitely grown a lot, and continue to grow. I genuinely feel this has been much more of an enjoyable road thanks to the great support I can count on from Anna-Lise. She is a bright, caring, clear-headed, supportive and inspiring soul. Thank you for everything.”

“I am feeling free, strong and happy coming out of the Artist Coaching process with Anna-Lise. What was especially liberating for me, was the space to explore and gain an understanding of my key emotional “trigger points” and to feel supported in that process of discovery and acceptance.”

“Already as a faculty member during my dance studies, Anna-Lise encouraged and supported me in my creative work. The artist coaching with her helped me, to organise my “post-studies-goals” and to gain clarity and understanding. The joint discussion about my artistic goals led to the self-confidence I needed in order to take my next steps, to achieve my first successes, and to find my inner teacher.”

“Anna-Lise gave me a lot of helpful tools to keep my head- and heart-space clean and to structure the goals I have as an Artist as well as to let go of comparing myself in my dance training to others, to keep my energy focused on myself and to not get lost in fear and doubts because of not feeling enough. In the beginning it took me a lot more energy to remind myself of that, because it was a new way of thinking for me, but now I embody this and it has become easier for me to leave those negative thought-patterns behind. It took me a while to realise that the coaching sessions were just the beginning of a new process. Half year later I joined the RE Intensive, also organised and led by Anna-Lise. There I realised that all these tools that I learned are now more embodied within myself.

Reflecting on it, it is not only about the coaching time frame we have together, but also a lot about the work that comes after that, if you stay in this energy.

Through Artist Coaching, I learnt how to break down the little steps in between where I am currently and what I want to achieve, where I want to go or what I want to learn. To break down how I feel about it and to be constructive with myself (in a sensitive and self-aware energy) and to not get lost in an ocean of emotions and thoughts.”

“The coaching sessions we had together brought me a lot of clarity, it helped me navigate my way around the thoughts in my head and gave me the tools to build structure for it. I can already feel myself being more aware of my needs and goals no matter how small, because I am able to identify them easier and understand why they are important to me.

I am very happy with the work we did together, and I am very grateful for the support and patience that I received.”

“I absolutely LOVED our sessions, not only was I able to express feelings and concerns but also had a revelation that surprised me. It really exceeded my expectations. ”

“I had the pleasure of having Anna-Lise by my side for the last six months. I came into the coaching programme with a lot of thoughts and doubts but also motivation to finally gain more power, clarity and strength in me, physically and mentally.

In the beginning I was quite messy with those ideas and didn’t really know where and how to start to change something or understand the certain qualities I own. Within the first sessions, we kind of cleared up my mind together to figure out in some short sentences which goals I have, and what I can do to achieve them. We also focused on which qualities I already own that I want to enhance in my art and in my body.

I wrote them down, and step by step I was able to gain an awareness of those things into my daily life. Through these sessions, I felt myself getting more and more clear and structured in the way I express myself and in the way I present/express myself in my education everyday. I also gained clarity in how and when I want to face certain goals I want to work on, to not do everything at the same time.

Before every session we were reflecting on what we discovered the last time, what worked out and also figured out what could fit now or what was moving me at that moment, so we stayed very flexible within the structure that was given.

Having a sorted mind now gives me the possibility to settle and calm down in myself, and it also gives me more capacity to get creative. This was just what I needed, an overview from the outside to clear out the main points. We were able to create positive challenges for myself and I made great progress during the last six months. I feel so much stronger and clearer. I was able to get a lot more energy out of my body through this clarity in my mind.

I am really motivated to go on working with the things we worked out together and to also discover more about myself and the artist within me, with the tools I learned.

I experienced Anna-Lise as a warm, loving, patient, understanding, empathic, reliable and well structured human being. I never felt judged for the feelings or ideas I had and if I was not clear she helped me to gain clarity in my thoughts. I am really grateful for this time.”

“The coaching session with Anna-Lise was really clarifying for me. It gave structure to the thoughts in my head, and she helped me to put one step after the other of what to do next to get closer to my goals.”

“Deciding for the Artist Coaching with Anna-Lise was a very good decision and experience. I’m very happy that I met her.

She supported me in different areas of my life and in all the questions I had around my artistic career and life journey. She always had a good task as a response to my topic or question so that I was able to move forward. She had a great sensitivity in how much she guided me as well as in how much she was able to let me go on my own. It was wonderful to receive new impulses and ideas for my next steps. I admire her a lot for her way of working so structured, prepared and creative as an artist herself and as an Artist Coach for others. With her open minded, kind, joyful and loving personality I felt I was always in a safe space, taken seriously, supported and appreciated. I will definitely reach out to Anna -Lise again for further support through Artist Coaching in the future.”
