Laurie Shiers

Hi, I’m Laurie Shiers, an expressive arts-trained coach and facilitator, best-selling author, and maker of all kinds of mischief– some public, and some just for my own amusement.

After decades spent working as an in-demand copywriter, I burned out big time. Eventually, I returned to my creative roots and began making things again; for joy, and as a way to feel more alive.

That’s when I rediscovered what I’d understood as a child: play can be more than just fun– it can also be healing and insightful. And when we lean into creativity, our perspective can radically shift. We access a different level of knowing ourselves and the world— no artistic experience required.

You deserve to know yourself this way too, and I’d be honored to be your guide.
