About

Dear Creative Genius,

My name is Madelaine Vallin, and I’ve been a creative explorer for as long as I can remember. Creativity has always been my way of navigating the world—a tool I’ve used to express myself and process life. From singing and songwriting to exploring various art forms, it has been the space where I could release what couldn’t be put into words.

I understand the struggles that creatives face because I’ve been there. Since my teenage years, creativity has been my way of healing and expressing things I couldn’t articulate any other way. But like many creatives, I’ve also had my battles with feeling misunderstood, hitting walls, and facing doubt. Traditional therapy didn’t always work for me, and I know many creatives feel the same.

That’s why I became a therapist—to understand myself fully and help others who struggle with the same creative blocks and emotional challenges. It took years of study and personal growth to develop the tools I needed, and now I use them to guide others on their creative journeys. You shouldn’t have to go through the same long, lonely road to figure it out by yourself.

I’m passionate about helping creatives reconnect with their true power. I want you to know that you don’t have to navigate the self-doubt, pressure, and burnout alone. My work is about helping ambitious and successful creatives, artists, and visionaries—people who might seem to have it all together but still feel disconnected from their inner creative spark. Even with outward success, there can be a sense of isolation or the burden of always having to deliver.

My role is to help navigate those unspoken challenges—whether it’s creative blocks, self-doubt, or the emotional toll that comes with constantly creating. Through Nordic mindfulness, creative expression, and a deep understanding of the creative mind, I guide people to unlock their true potential while maintaining their emotional well-being.

Whether through one-on-one coaching, exclusive retreats, or immersive multi-sensory experiences, I create transformative spaces where creatives can thrive—without sacrificing the creative energy that drives their success. You don’t need to carry the burden alone. Together, we’ll amplify your voice and turn your creative struggles into the fuel that powers your growth and expression.

If you’re ready to take that next step, I’d love to have a conversation.

Love, Madelaine
