As a transformational coach and champion of creativity, I meet you where you are.

let’s work together to help you meet challenges and grow your creative power.
Do you have:
• Dreams that won’t quit but you can’t seem to get traction?

and power but you’re not there yet?
My clients are:
• Long-time artists seeking new ideas, resources, and rejuvenation
• Creatives in transition, launching new projects or longing to get unstuck

• Leaders, healers, and teaching artists who want to up-level their skills, expertise,
and achieve proven results with the clients and communities they serve.
Clients are saying:
“Judith-Kate’s sessions opened energetic and creative portals within me that are already manifesting change and new possibilities and awareness in my life.”
“I’m touched by Judith-Kate’s unswerving commitment to creative expression, inclusion, radical acceptance, kindness and community upliftment. She is championing a part of me she doesn’t even fully know yet. I love being in her orbit as she is committed to excellence and yet is so human and accessible.”
“Working with Judith-Kate changed my life. She tends to the fullness of the person. As one on her own self-work journey, she has been able to lovingly and honestly point out when my still-often-unconscious woundings of ‘taking on too much’ or ‘taking on what isn’t mine’ were coming into play.”
“Each of us holds a part of the great puzzle of what’s needed at this time for the well-being of all. As we honor all of who we are, personally, and as a society, everyone wins.”
—Judith-Kate Friedman
“My session with Judith Kate was nothing short of life changing. As my spirituality has deepened over the years, I have sought to receive more inner guidance from my intuition and, ideally, direct from my soul. In my session with Judith Kate, she guided me to have a profound experience of my soul in a way that I can instantly make that connection at any time. This has improved my life so much because, with a few moments of meditation, I can receive guidance about what is important for that day, what direction to take in the moment, and even what is important for my life. Not every answer comes from within. I have been guided to seek out people to further understand myself as well as provide insights and information to achieve my goals. Judith-Kate’s fee is modest compared to the tremendous value of having a session with her. I strongly suggest that you take that step! ”
“Judith-Kate’s work has so much soul and life to offer all who tune in.”

Judith-Kate Friedman co-founded and co-directed the Psalms, Songs and Stories™ project with Rabbi Sheldon Marder at the San Francisco Campus for Jewish Living (2003-2019).
The program is now available as a co-facilitated experience in which Judith-Kate and a clergy person or scholar well-versed in Psalms or other wisdom literature collaborate together to serve specific community needs in a one or two day workshop or a series of sessions (online or in person).
The experience brings participants on a journey into one or more liturgical texts through diverse translations and related artwork. They then co-compose original musical compositions using the Songwriting Works™ approach.
Past projects have engaged elder Jews (average age 88) residing in long-term care settings , rabbinical students and community elders co-writing together, congregants of all ages composing songs for holidays, and interfaith groups using the study and songwriting experience to share diverse perspectives, listen deeply to each other, and turn their heartfelt understandings into memorable songs.
All arrangements are made in collaboration with Project host(s). Pricing varies.
