"When I first reached out to Jean Marie I was completely stuck. Little did I know she was a guardian angel. I had no idea how to move forward with my project, and every time I tried to I felt overwhelmed and terrified. I was afraid to take the next step because what if I messed it up?
Â
Jean Marie not only helped me move forward, but she was able to break things down in a way I, (a fool), could understand and then walked me through each step, giving multiple options and helping me weigh them. She helped me find the confidence to dive in and not be afraid to make mistakes.
Â
Without her, I would not still be doing what I am doing. She helped open doors I thought impossible to open. More importantly, though, is she gave me the advice and skills to walk through those doors and make it matter.
Â
I cannot recommend Jean Marie highly enough. She will give you a clear and concise vision when you have none. She is incredibly professional, but more refreshingly, she is kind and humorous when working with her clients. I will always be indebted to her. Jean Marie, thank you."
- Kevin Kelly
“Jean Marie’s Creative Workshop gave me a support group, a place to share, think and move forward in my artistic field, at a time when I felt particularly stuck.
Â
Throughout the sessions, under her professionalism, kindness, and broad experience, Jean Marie was able to give me the tools, energy and focus I needed to start moving again in the direction that felt right to me. 7 months later, I am still benefiting from our discussions and her coaching.”
- Maite Agopian, CHAK
"When you're dreaming wildly of making unusual bits of puppetry magic it's wonderful to have sherpas to guide and shoulders to lean on when creating feels more like birthing a cactus.
I've done the monitor classes, a workshop in person, and the group coaching. Each experience has been lovely, challenging, and warm. Getting a chance to work with the industry's best has meant everything to me."

"Jean Marie brings firm compassion and clarity to her coaching. I felt stalled and she helped me find a path of insight and productivity.
She gave me the encouragement I needed to stay focused, the permission to be only mediocre if it didn’t mean giving up entirely, and the thread to stay connected to a caring creative community. I would not be where I am today without Jean Marie’s influence."
-Â Laurie Everitt
"Working with small children my goal is primarily to teach empathy. I have found in the past few months of online teaching that puppets and stop motion animation have been wonderful ways to bridge the virtual gap. Puppets are powerful, and I have been more thankful this year than ever before.
All this to say, thank you! Thank you for your work!"
-Â Kirsten Benjamin M.S.Ed
