WHO I WORK WITH
Monstre Sacré (sacred monster) is a small coaching and consulting service for alternative, underground, diy, queer, sex workers or off-the-grid artists, musicians, writers and creatives (plus a few brave civilians!). Pets welcome (although I don’t coach them!)
WHAT I DO
A creative co-conspiracy, Monstre Sacré helps you identify disruptions—psychological and emotional—to your creative process. Monstré Sacre’s primary focus is helping you connect to your creative process and navigate its challenges, such as fear and self-sabotage—or simply survive your own personality! When requested, by helping you get on top of your personal finances Monstre Sacré addresses the hell realm of creativity, cash and capitalism. Monstre Sacré is available by email, phone or in-person.

Using the skills of Honorary Monster Jed Bell and creative maniacal genius Blue, we will give feedback on work in progress, whether it is fleshing out a new idea, offering an analysis of what you have, or helping you jumpstart yourself at any stage of the process.

WHO WE ARE
Head “monster” Wickie Stamps is a working artist and writer who has assisted people for decades in overcoming the obstacles in their lives. Deeply embedded in San Francisco's alternative artistic community, Wickie holds a Masters in Education and Counseling from Antioch University. She has trained with the Creative Coaching Association, is a graduate of San Francisco State University’s Core Strength Coaching program, as well as a certified coach with Jill Badonsky’s Kaizen-Muse Creativity Coaching program. Wickie is a longtime meditator who currently through her solitary practice follows the teachings of Noah Levine’s Dharma Punx/Against the Stream Meditation Center. A yoga practitioner, Wickie attends San Francisco’s Yoga Punx. When appropriate, Wickie integrates both meditation practice and yoga theory into her coaching.
Having started out with an intense background in countercultural politics and community work—from mental health care to the movement to establish the first battered women’s shelters—Wickie radically changed course over 20 years ago: she decided to commit herself to her own creative life, and took the plunge to become a writer. Through a strange hodgepodge of jobs, from alligator-meat cleaner to executive editor of funky magazines, trampoline-ride salesgirl to award-winning author and screenwriter, Wickie escaped the alligators’ clutches and now assists fellow artists and writers in connect to their creative process. She has assisted lawyers and graphic designers, hip hop artists and burned-out rocker chicks who are trying to balance art with paying the damned bills.
Honorary monster Jed Bell is involved in Red Ink Menace where he consults on projects.
