bullshit.


The Bad Creatives is a rebellion
against “doing it right”
you don’t have to do anything.
you already are.



it’s the experience itself.
it’s creating something that moves you.
living in a way that feels authentic to you.

success isn’t a prize

at the end of suffering.

no more waiting to be good enough.

be bad.

do it

messy

about me

i’m Alexa Van. i’m an artist and somatic practitioner and creative coach with a passion for leading weirdos, deep feelers, and neurodivergents back to their authentic empowerment. my work is for those who’ve always been too much for the world — and not enough for the machine.

i guide artists and creative souls through personalized practices to reclaim their voice, free themselves from internalized pressure, and reconnect to their unique way of moving through the world. by deconditioning from the patriarchal paradigm, we can create from a place that feels natural, unfiltered, and alive.

let’s give art back to the artists, liberate ourselves from fitting in, and go back to doing what we love — making cool shit.

testimonials

“I got an inner voice session with Alexa Van at a time in my life where I was releasing a lot and going through some heavy emotions. I had only done one breath work session before hand, so I knew it was a powerful way to release trauma and process cycles, but with AV’s work it was more than that.

She guided me through with meditation and dialogue so I felt supported in what was coming up. She helped me access my deep subconscious and find my power and voice again.

What was the most prolific experience for me is having past life regressions come up in the process. I was sobbing in our session, and letting go of lifetimes of inner conflict. I’ve done a lot of psycho therapy and after this session I felt it was the same process of my body and mind recalibrating new information, only it was more uplifting and energizing. You let so much new life in to your body with the breath work!

I felt different after, I saw myself differently. I had a lot of personal revelations. It was like a lot of blocks and my own self limiting beliefs had disappeared. I’m eternally grateful for AV’s training, work, guidance, in helping me find some balance and step into my power again. This work is so gentle. It brings you back to your body, and power. I highly recommend you try it!”

what people say about

The Bad Creatives experience

“Going into my session with Alexa, I wasn't fully sure what to expect.

I was so impressed with how seamlessly the session went!

I went into it that day feeling  burnt out, overwhelmed, and emotionally dysregulated.

 Alexa seamlessly guided me not only through the initial issues we had spoken about, but to the core of a lot of things I didn't even know were present and holding me back.

She is truly gifted at understanding what I was trying to say, and making me feel at ease and seen.

After the session I felt a literal weight had been lifted, like a lot of emotions and feelings that were stored in my body were finally able to move and flow.

She helped me develop tools to continue to move through certain blocks, and a proactive way to re-frame some cyclical and negative thinking that contributed to my initial overwhelm. 

This experience was extremely helpful and special,

I feel much more optimistic and supported in  overcoming my fears and mental blocks that have been keeping me stuck in certain roles. I am so grateful for this experience, and would highly recommend it to anyone who has felt this way, especially any creative, feeling stuck or overwhelmed.”
