This is creative recovery.

SAIN is for artists, educators, and emotionally intelligent creators who feel disconnected from their voice, stuck in perfectionism, or quietly burnt out.

If you’re ready to rebuild rhythm, reclaim expression, and return to yourself, you’re in the right place.

SAIN is a method for creative recovery.

It’s for the ones who care deeply, create from truth, and still find themselves stuck.

Not because they lack discipline.

Because the way they were taught to create… doesn’t work anymore.

 

At SAIN, we build a softer, stronger way forward.

Not through hustle.

Through deep self-trust.

The SAIN Method™

A four-part path back to honest expression.

Creative recovery isn’t about doing more.
It’s about remembering how to create, lead, or perform, without disappearing in the process.

The SAIN Method™ guides you through four phases:

  • Stillness – pausing long enough to hear yourself again

  • Awareness – uncovering the patterns, pressures, and fears that shape how you express yourself

  • Integration – rebuilding your voice, confidence, and creative rhythm from within

  • Nourishment – learning how to sustain your work long-term, without losing yourself

This is creative recovery.
A rhythm. A return. A reclamation.

Who it’s for

For the ones who...

  • Keep starting and stopping, even though they care deeply

  • Are full of ideas, but afraid to be seen

  • Feel creatively capable but emotionally scattered

  • Are performing, publishing, or producing but something feels off

  • Want to create again, not for validation, but from truth

  • Are leading others while quietly burning out

  • Are tired of performing a version of themselves that no longer fits

Whether you're returning after a long pause
or succeeding on the outside while unravelling inside, SAIN is for you.

Why I started SAIN

Testimonials

  • Stacy is a fantastic instructor. She takes the time to get to know you and makes you feel comfortable with being vulnerable. I learned so much about myself and grew not only as a musician, but as a person.

  • Stacy is one of the best teachers I have ever had! Her approach and techniques are like fish in the water for me. She always finds the best way to work through issues I may come across. I always feel relaxed and motivated to learn something new with her and I can see each lesson the progress I have made! She's flexible, very attentive, open, and gentle when it comes to any communication. I'm always excited to meet her!!!

  • I always really enjoyed working with Stacy to tackle problems, as she approaches them with posivitiy and creativity, always looking for the opportunity for growth in a difficult situation. Importantly, she makes this process fun. She is a very experienced teacher and mentor who uses her skills to promote safety as a starting point for learning journeys. Partnered with her own curiosity for learning and development, I am excited to see this coming together in SAIN.

  • Working with Stacy always feels comfortable, safe and something to look forward to. As a perfectionist in my instrument, with the help of Stacy I’ve felt comfortable in making mistakes during our lessons. Stacy has taught me a lot about the root elements of my voice and how to use them to shine even brighter with my voice. I would and have recommended Stacy to artists who are really hard on themselves and therefore have trouble with performing for example.
