Creativity Coaching
Creativity is the courageous act of being willing to share who we are with the world. Creativity is not just for artists. It’s often through our creative work that we find new depths of personal and communal healing.

Creativity Coaching
Creativity is the courageous act of being willing to share who we are with the world. Creativity is not just for artists. We can all be more creative in our fields, be it as a musician, engineer, or educator. And, it’s often through our own creative work that we find new depths of personal and communal healing.
Whether you are a young talent looking to pursue a career in the arts, seasoned professional switching careers, launching an entrepreneurial venture, or wanting to bring a creative project to life, I work with you to develop self-awareness, wellness, and authenticity to make those transitions successful.
My strengths are my ability to listen and learn from you to understand what motivates and drives you. Through my own experience with anxiety and depression, I can help transform mental-emotional blocks into acceptance, healing, and catalysts toward a wholehearted and connected creative life.
I work with clients to discover how to awaken that creativity towards a purpose and lifestyle that resonate with who they are and make a positive impact on the world.

Testimonials
Hunter Burnette
When I started working with Owen, he showed me new ways to articulate my thoughts. He helped guide me as a person into a more stable lifestyle. He’s responsible for a lot of the most positive parts of my career thus far, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I’d recommend him to any and everyone.
Chloe Tang
Owen was a wonderful mentor to me. He always found a way to be constructive and encouraging. He was open and willing to give me advice about my career and connected me with resources and people he was familiar with, which helped me grow and become comfortable building a network. Not only that, but he taught me so many life lessons along the way just by demonstration. I feel confident in my abilities because I had the opportunity to watch and learn from him.
Ben Rogers
Working with Owen is like getting up at dawn and seeing the sun rise when others are asleep; the full experience. Owen understands that to realize one’s destiny is a person’s only obligation. First, he listens and learns what makes you tick, what drives you, and what motivates you. Then, he helps you set goals that measure success by what is important to YOU. And then, he dreams through a holistic, action-oriented process with you and builds in practical steps designed to help you achieve your goals and see the stepwise progress on your journey. Through it all, you gain a friend, an accountability partner, a welcome shoulder in times of doubt, and someone to motivate you along the adventure. Owen is genuinely interested in you, your growth, and your future and wants to help you find it.
Phil Heifferon
Owen offers a kind and warm presence that always made me feel relaxed and welcomed. He challenged me to form healthy habits, like eating fresh foods and getting good exercise. I began to approach myself with more kindness, celebrating the small steps. During my work with Owen over a few years, I left every session feeling more encouraged to be the best and healthiest version of myself. That allowed me to be creative out of an abundance of energy and love.
Owen Trujillo
Working with Owen Kortz made me realize what I truly wanted to do with my life. Through one on one conversations with him, I found that I truly had a lot to offer not only to myself but to the world as well. He asked me questions I had been avoiding my whole life and gave me tasks that gave me perspective of what my true strengths and deep down gifts really were. I thought we were going to learn more about music, but we were there to learn more about me. In the process I learned about the things he was doing to give back to the world and it inspired me to do the same. I joined him at a homeless drop in center volunteering my time with homeless youth who wanted to do music. This was the first time I felt like I was sharing my talents with a community who was longing for what I can do for them. This was a major turning point in my life, and I can't thank him enough for the lessons we learned in our sessions together. Thank you for giving me the practices that have carried me through the most challenging and defining moments of my life.
