Creativity-based coaching is a heart-centered invitation to explore your inner world through artistic expression held with gentle curiosity. This approach encourages you to trust your intuition and connect with what feels most alive within. The focus is never on producing “good” art, but on engaging in authentic expression that opens the door to insight and healing. Through thoughtful prompts and creative exploration, new perspectives can emerge, old patterns may soften, and a deeper sense of wholeness becomes possible. Creativity becomes a trusted companion on this journey, guiding you toward a life rich with connection and joy.

The coaching experience was new for me when I started working with Carly and I have benefitted more than I could have hoped. Carly’s kind, intuitive, and supportive nature has allowed our sessions to not only be productive, but also personally enlightening. Carly is an absolute gift and I highly recommend her services.
--Amy (Sign Language Interpreter)
Coaching has unlocked an outlet that has become a place for growth in my life. During our meetings, Carly holds space for me; allowing me to identify my feelings, beliefs, and perceptions about any aspect of my life. Life isn’t as simple as black and white; I want this, so I do that. I’ve uncovered through our time together that there are many real and perceived obstacles and values that can demotivate me or make me feel stuck. Through exploration, conversation, and reflection Carly does an astounding job at helping me find flow where I otherwise have been experiencing break down. I feel uplifted, empowered, and respected as we meet- unearthing whatever is unsettled in that moment. I owe many gratitudes to Carly and the gift that she has as a coach!
-Ellen (Sign Language Interpreter)
Carly Flagg has been a wonderful coach and teacher for me over the last couple years. Carly is both tender and ethical with our processes. Her approach to the work always shows up fully informed. She also encourages my creative identities to exist. This is very important to my career, and she even helps me to see the values in my goals. Carly is my ideal coach and I am full of gratitude.
--Saafyr (Artist, Liberation Activist)
Prior to finding Carly, my life coach, I felt like I was just getting by with my day-to-day workload. As I got further into my college career, I knew my current process for doing everything was not working for me. My workload as a stay-at-home parent and my workload for school was literally breaking me down. I was not doing them the best way for me and didn’t even realize it. Carly is so full of knowledge and has helped me identify my own personal strengths and weaknesses, in order to change how I look at all my tasks and goals I want to accomplish. She is so encouraging, kind, caring, and I always feel completely safe sharing my thoughts with her. I am so very grateful to have found Carly and have her valuable service as my life coach. It truly has been life altering in the best ways imaginable!Â
-Michele (Student and Mother of 2 "Littles")
Working with Carly Flagg has been nothing short of transformational.
She has an incredible gift for cutting through the noise and identifying the real issues behind the challenges—whether personal or business. Carly doesn’t just offer surface-level solutions; she dives deep, helping you unpack what’s going on behind the scenes, and walks with you every step of the way to work through it.
Her coaching has helped me become significantly more productive, focused, and aligned—not just in my business, but in life. If you’re ready for clarity, momentum, and breakthrough, Carly is the one you want in your corner.

A note about our newsletter:
At Hands at Heart, I believe connection should feel like a gift, not a burden on your inbox. That’s why my monthly newsletters are thoughtful, intentional, and brief—just enough to offer something nourishing for your day. You can choose between two paths: one for interpreters, and one for a broader circle of creatives, seekers, and soul-tenders. Each month, you’ll receive a short reflection to spark curiosity, a notice of upcoming events, a reading suggestion for the month, and special offers crafted with care. My promise is to send only what feels meaningful, offering a small and steady thread of connection you can look forward to.
