Creative Life Coaching Testimonials

“Sadie has a gift of deep listening and then giving intuitively brilliant responses. Her own creative approach to the world is authentic, eccentric, beautiful, and frees all who see it. Don’t miss out on the experience of Ms. Spikes in whatever she offers.”

— Jill Badonsky, Author/illustrator, creator Kaizen-Muse Creativity Coaching

“Sadie has been inspirational to work with, a great coach and walks beside you as you explore how to live your best life. 

I’m still work in progress but with extensive notes from Sadie following each session I have all the information I can refer to keep me on track. 

Thank you Sadie for your kindness, empathy and nurturing support, I very much enjoyed working with you!” 

— Delyth Punter

“I had become quite stagnant within my creative practice I let life get in the way, in the meantime I was convincing myself I was shit. This course through the activities and words has given me lots of renewed faith in my abilities. I have loved trying activities I wouldn’t have done normally. I have loved it all!”

“I have accessed such a light and playful side of myself. I’ve begun to watch how I judge myself and have learnt ways in which I can release myself from the pressure of perfectionism. I can’t even count the ways in which this has improved my life, I have excitement, energy and enthusiasm moving through me now and its fucking magical!! Sadie…you are a very special person”

“Your group has helped me to connect with myself in ways that I have struggled to since I was a child. I didn’t realise the extent to which my experiences, particularly as a student had squashed my creativity and how that affected not only my relationship to making, but my overall confidence also.”

“How amazing I have felt each week walking home, transformed my mood from the day.”

“I think the creative course is fantastic, and Sadie you are so funny and radiate creative inspiration it’s in the core of your being!”

“I expected something amazing and I felt that has been delivered.”

“Over the past few weeks, I have regained an energy and enthusiasm that has flowed into so many parts of my life. I feel glowing, confident, and genuine. I really cannot thank you enough, I feel blessed to be part of this!”

“When I first came to your house, just talking in a group about vulnerabilities was such a terrifying thing, but your unwavering affirmation and intuitive understanding has really held me in a safe and loving space. It has been unbelievably powerful to meet other women and connect over the parts of ourselves we normally keep hidden”

“Absolutely loved the music and drawing, probably the best moment of my year! Genuinely felt so free and fun! I don’t feel like this enough”
