Esther Loopstra, professional artist, speaker, and creative coach

Hi, I’m Esther

I'm a career coach who specializes in helping individuals in the arts find their path to success by following their intuition. I was a commercial illustrator and designer for 15 years and experienced a lot of success but it came with burnout and feelings of abandoning my authenticity. From this frustration, I went on a journey of discovering my intuition and learning how to listen to it to navigate life changes. And now I teach others how to do the same!

In 2019 I transitioned from commercial art to fine art and from teaching art college students to career coaching, speaking, and writing. I have developed a unique approach that combines intuition with practical strategies to help my clients achieve their career goals.

As an intuitive and trauma-informed coach, I work with each person holistically and individually, beginning with whatever stage they are in their journey. I will never give you a list of to-do’s based on what I think you “should do”, but instead…we work together to get to the core of your desires and also the beliefs that have been holding you back. This process is highly individual and could look a combination of somatic, inner child work, cognitive exercises, and setting boundaries or goals.

I am neurodivergent, live with chronic illness, and struggle with depression and anxiety. I believe that having compassion for ourselves while building the capacity to dream big is key to success when life is hard.

If you are looking for someone who does things differently and can help you connect to your inner guidance while at the same time guiding you in creating a life and work that you love, let’s connect!
