James Price - Creativity Coach (USA)

Creativity isn’t just a talent—it’s a way of living.
It’s how we process the world, express ourselves, and build something meaningful from the mess. My Creativity Coaching and Creative Wellness Coaching is a hands on, heart forward partnership designed to help you reconnect with your creative purpose, clarify your unique voice, and create a rhythm that feels sustainable, energizing, and deeply fulfilling.

I bring a fresh perspective from Aotearoa New Zealand, a place where creativity pulses through wild coastlines, bold storytelling, and cultures that value connection over convention. We’ve given the world cinematic giants like Peter Jackson, the raw brilliance of Taika Waititi, and the haunting soundscapes of Lorde. We may be small on the map, but we’re mighty when it comes to creativity with soul.

And that soul? It’s rooted in values like whanaungatanga (human connection), kaitiakitanga (guardianship), and a fierce respect for story, place, and people. I carry that spirit into every coaching session. When you work with me, you’re not just getting another productivity plan or surface level advice, you’re entering a creative container where your wellbeing, purpose, and artistry matter just as much as your output.

Whether you’re a visual artist in Brooklyn, a burned-out educator in Portland, a filmmaker in Atlanta, or a multi-hyphenate in LA trying to piece it all together, my coaching is here to ground you, grow you, and get you moving again (with clarity, not chaos).

With a background in early childhood education, creativity coaching, and nearly two decades of professional creative work, I bring a playful yet practical approach to every session. You’ll find encouragement, experimentation, and zero judgement. Just real talk and meaningful strategy.

What makes this coaching different? It’s the sweet spot where creative empowerment meets holistic wellbeing. I help you craft a creative life that actually feels good, not just impressive. From integrating AI tools to simplify your workload, to building content strategies that align with your values, we create systems that serve your creativity instead of draining it.

Whether you’re building a portfolio, launching a creative side hustle, designing your next career pivot, or simply trying to reignite your spark—this is coaching for the whole creative human. No templates. No fluff. Just grounded, intentional support to help you thrive in today’s fast-moving world—without losing yourself in the process.
