¡Hola!
I am Zoë, and I am here to ignite your creative fire and guide you into being all your selves.
My life's mission is to inspire & support you in living your deepest potential and highest purpose.
I offer intuitive counseling, creativity coaching, online creativity courses & challenges, expressive arts workshops and custom retreats in Todos Santos, Mexico.
My philosophy and methodology is a blend of my training in the fields of psychology, the arts, education & spirituality. I have a Masters in Counseling Psychology and Expressive Arts Therapy from California Institute of Integral Studies and a BA in Art from Oberlin College.
I was born and bred in Brooklyn, with years of professional training as an actor, improvisor and dancer. I have been an avid multimedia blogger since 2012, when I started ZOELAB 365 blogging every day for a year. On my blog, I am transparent about my own healing journey, my multimedia creative process and experiences with my husband and son living off the grid in the Baja desert.

This multifaceted site is for anyone who wants to bring more creativity, inspiration, empowerment, authenticity and vulnerability into your life.

‘the city lights go down.
i feel you all around.
the cars on the street
sound like the sea.
wait for me.
we’ll live by the sea.
we’ll live by the sea and everything is exactly how it should be.
we live for today, and not for yesterday.
i just want to be free.’ Written in Oakland, CA, thinking of Baja, Mexico. 🎶 photo: @lucasbennettgram

A little clip from our show on Saturday night at Alquimia. When I Grow Up, acoustic version. The song I would’ve written as a kid if I had known then what I know now.

We had so much fun in September doing our art rock dance party celebrating the Virgos we decided to make it a monthly event. Sorry libras, I know we skipped you, and I know that the unfairness will be hard for you, but I had to take October off so I could rock out in Yogaland at @yandarayoga . But we’re back at it this Saturday, the 17th celebrating the Scorpios. Every third Saturday at @jardinalquimia.ts - we will be bringing live music at 8 pm & then at 10 pm, I’ll be DJing a fun dance party. There will be an art exhibition by @jimenagarcialopez and James Katona & more surprises. All this and no cover. Wow. We appreciate your support of live, original music. We put everything we’ve got into the music and we hope you feel that energy. 💗⚡️🎸 .

Remind me to put a fan on the stage with us on Saturday. That is, if we don’t get rained out. This is from the night I discovered is nothing like the feeling of wind blowing on you while you rock out.
