Far from being simply an exercise in seeking and giving advice, effective coaching is a much deeper and richer process. Within my coaching, I work with and alongside you, facilitating and supporting your personal, professional, and artistic development.

If you are looking for a safe, stimulating environment where you feel supported in personal exploration, identifying and moving through challenges, working towards your goals, and creating a life that inspires and excites you — this is your invitation to work with me.


 

As your coach, I create a space where you feel supported and encouraged to reflect, discover, take action, and make informed decisions to initiate positive change in your personal, professional, and artistic life.

It is my intention that, as personal development and self-awareness grow over time, you become empowered to make your own conscious and constructive choices, leading to a more meaningful and enriching life ~ a life you create, a life you choose.

Does this resonate?

 

If you're curious about how coaching could support you and your journey, you are warmly welcome to join me for a complimentary discovery session and have a confidential, non-binding, and explorative conversation.

This discovery session is intended for us to get to know each other, to find out about your current wishes for development and focus, and for you to get to know the coaching process and ask me any questions you may have.

If you’d then like to move forward with coaching, we can discuss the possibilities and what could work well for you.


Coaching is an investment made in yourself, for yourself.
It is dedicated time and space for your personal, professional, and artistic growth.

let’s have a conversation.


Experiences…

 
Anna-Lise helped me so much with her coaching! I went through an artistic transformation, because of all the clarity that came out of the sessions, and this transformation continued also long after the coaching was over. Anna-Lise is very kind and welcoming, creating a space to make you feel comfortable so you can open up and be true to yourself. She knows to ask the right questions and gives space for answers, while listening intently.
— Sofiya, Dance Artist and Teacher
The artist coaching sessions with Anna-Lise are precise, warm, and something that met me where I was in my artistic process and work. I can highly recommend if are looking for clarity in where you are, how your work and what you can do in ones artistic path. Gaining knowledge and investigating about what is moving one forward and what isn’t. These sessions are something I would gladly gift myself again
— Lina, Dance Artist
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.
— Rhodé, Graphic Designer and Artist
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.
— Viktoria, Dance Artist
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.
— Birke, Dance Artist
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.
— Samira, Dance Artist
The sessions brought me a lot of clarity. They helped me navigate my way around the thoughts in my head and gave me the tools to build a structure for them. I feel more aware of my needs and goals no matter how small. I can identify them more easily 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.
— Aseel, Dance Artist
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.
— Lorena, Stage Artist and Actress
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.
— Samira, Dance Artist
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.
— Julia, Dance Artist
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.
