You've trained for the audition. Have you trained your mind for the room? You bring the talent, training, and preparation. I help you build the mental fitness to quiet self-doubt, stay grounded under pressure, and give yourself the best opportunity to do your work.
J.ill Medina Elizalde

I coach working professional actors in the life behind the performance—helping them feel grounded, present, and fully alive, both onstage and off.
As a Positive Intelligence® guide and Co-Active coach with a background in acting, I support actors in protecting their inner space, strengthening self-trust, and building fulfilling lives alongside demanding, unpredictable careers.
I don’t teach actors how to become more. I help them access more of what they already have—their talent, creativity, body’s wisdom, and unique perspective—and bring it fully to their work and the world.

Our work creates space to deepen your self-trust, expand your possibilities, and bring more of yourself to your life and craft:
• Recognize fear, self-doubt, and self-sabotaging patterns before they direct your choices.
• Navigate auditions, rejection, career transitions, and uncertainty with greater clarity and resilience.
• Build relationships, routines, and boundaries that support your well-being and creative life.
• Stay connected to yourself while stepping into—and out of—character.
• Make room for rest, play, purpose, and a life you enjoy beyond your work..

That offstage foundation supports what you bring into the room: the freedom to listen, respond, trust your choices, take direction, and connect. It helps you make yourself more fully available to the opportunities you’ve worked hard to create—and to the stories, gifts, and perspectives you want to share.
My coaching background includes supporting educators, parents, small business owners, and teams in strengthening relationships, communicating clearly, and creating more supportive environments.
Across that work, my focus has remained consistent: helping people move through fear and habitual reactions toward greater awareness, connection, and agency.
Today, I bring that experience to the people behind the performances.
Because the person behind the performance deserves just as much attention as the craft itself.

Actors say they want to book - but their subconscious has the doors barred and the 'CLOSED' sign out. In fact, because there is so much fear- it might say, "Nope- No way!" I help actors 'open for business.
* Not attracting the right roles
* Not enough auditions
* Wrong headshots
* Bad luck
* Bad advice
* Bad experiences
* Invisible talent- they don't get me"
* No inside contacts
* Not enough time to make it all work
Your subconscious is protecting you by keeping you small — and the world is responding to *that* signal, not the one you think you're sending.

You have a unique perspective to bring to every story you tell. Behind every great performance is a solid foundation.
Together, we draw on neuroscience-informed tools and mental fitness practices to strengthen your routines, mental clarity, and self-trust—giving you greater freedom to be present, connect, and allow your craft to flourish.
Step 1: Get Grounded
Together, we make room to breathe, bring clarity to competing demands, and create mental space for your life and craft.
We strengthen your connection to your own value, clarify what matters to you, and recognize the unique perspective you bring. Your worth can remain steady through the uncertainty of auditions, bookings, and career changes.
Step 2: Protect Your Inner Space
Together, we recognize the patterns of fear, self-doubt, and self-sabotage that can pull you away from yourself. You develop tools to interrupt those patterns in real time and return to greater presence, self-trust, and creative freedom.
There is space to explore honestly, at your own pace, with curiosity and compassion.
Step 3: Support Your Life Beyond the Stage
Together, we strengthen your trust in your instincts, establish boundaries, and nurture the relationships and routines that sustain you.
You create room to make career decisions with clarity, care for yourself through uncertainty, and enjoy a meaningful life alongside the craft you love.
A deeper connection to yourself, a more fulfilling life beyond the stage, and greater freedom to bring your gifts to your craft.
You can listen more openly, respond more freely, and connect with what lives beneath the words—the unspoken feelings and experiences that give a story its depth.
You make room for your talent, imagination, and unique perspective to come through, giving audiences an opportunity to feel, recognize themselves, and be moved.
Through auditions, performances, and the uncertainty between them, you have tools to return to yourself and choose your next step with greater clarity.
As your personal and professional coach, I am 100% committed in working together to get you there.
