"profound revelations and new tools"
'I learned more about my motivations and better understood where I can create obstacles for myself and how I might develop new ways to identify and navigate them and free my creativity.... It was a gentle and deep learning process which has left me with some profound revelations and new tools to employ in both my creative and personal life'.
Singer, musician
'Katy brings a profound humanness and
relatability that is rare'.
I really appreciated the way Katy was able to deconstruct any hurdle conceptually and practically. The seamlessness of the course made engaging with mindfulness-like content less skeptical and confronting, especially because Katy brings a profound humanness and relatability that is rare. I would recommend THRIVE to anyone who is finding their 'flow' is stunted and is searching for meaningful, inner change.
'I'm falling in love with my art-form all over again'.
Anna, 2022 Participant
Composers are skilled at looking at the macro and the micro together in order to create works that have a cohesive structure, while handling the nuance and complexity at a micro level. Think of it as a zoom out / zoom in idea in a similar way an author would write a novel – structuring the larger work whilst combining detail and development of plot, characters and pacing.
This, combined with almost 30 years teaching from high school through to postgraduate students and mentoring in the Australian arts industry, being a parent of three teens, and creating her own sustainable practice, Katy’s unique approach will illuminate the issues, challenge your assumptions and help you realise your goals in a way that is authentic to you.
Katy’s superpower is breaking down complex situations into the essence of things and combining a human perspective on an artistic or business issue. She brings forth the neglected perspectives in a discussion, then provides the space for examination and expression so the resulting ideas are practical. Katy believes in sustainable practices—that ‘life is long’ and her methodologies are tailored to you and your long-term visions.
There are four teaching modules which are recorded and released. They consist of a series of short videos. Don’t worry if you’re in a different time zone – You can access the videos 'on demand' whenever you like. We understand the complexities of daily life.
Yes, you sure can. You can download documents but even better, you will always have access to the THRIVE portal and the online videos will remain here for you for the lifetime of this course. Happy days.

Great question!
You get access to THRIVE immediately after purchase. As a THRIVE family member, you get access for FREE to any THRIVE (Live) events. I'll keep you informed of any future THRIVE (Live) programs and you can choose to join them if you wish.
The time commitment for each week to be effective would be 1.5 hours to 3 hours per week for 4 weeks.
This includes watching videos and reflection.
But you can binge the videos in a week or watch them over a longer period. It's up to you! You have life-time access to this Program.
We understand life happens alongside internal work and the concepts delivered need to time absorb. Where-ever you are at is just fine.The videos are yours to watch whenever you need to dip back in. In an ideal world, you'd watch and absorb, watch and absorb.
