Create your best work

Somatic coaching technique to build resillience.

Ember Coaching helps creatives cut through the noise, find focus, and bring more value to their work.

With over 15 years’ experience working alongside artists, makers, and cultural organisations — from shaping festivals to revitalising venues and strengthening businesses — I understand both the pressures and possibilities of creative life.

My approach won’t just strengthen your ideas but also your nervous system, so you can create with clarity, confidence, and staying power.

I’ve helped bring films, festivals, £300k projects, and thriving creative work spaces to life. Your ideas could be next!

    Contact me

  • “I was offered an artist residency in China — exciting but daunting, both physically and mentally. Talking to Julia helped me clarify my thoughts, prepare with a clear timeline, and arrive feeling composed. Her support gave me the confidence to embrace the challenge and create work I was proud of.”

    Sculptor

  • “Last time I spoke to a room this size, I froze. Julia helped me shape my talk and gave me breathing tools that kept me calm and confident. On the day, I delivered my presentation to 75+ people, and actually enjoyed it.”

    - Digital Artist

  • “Julia helped me organise my short film, and stay on track with its delivery. I finished the film feeling confident and clear about my creative direction.”

    Filmmaker

  • "With Julia’s support, I secured a grant to run clay workshops with care-sector families. They get to create their own sculptures while I grow my practice and experiment with sustainable ways of bringing sculpture to life"
