Holistic Songwriting
Coaching and Mentorship
Online Private Coaching
Your songs are already there.
Uncover them through mindset work, embodied writing ritual, and a creative practice rooted in who you actually are.
Our world no longer sings. We have been told that our songs are too loud, too quiet, or too abrasive.
How do we return to our unique individual Song?
How can we sing the Mountain awake at dawn?
How does our sound merge with the Owl as it searches for its beloved at twilight?
Everyone has a Song. What is yours?
About me
Your songwriting isn't something you fix — it's a living, breathing relationship that you can deepen and learn to trust.
My name is Thylan. I'm a Vietnamese-American singer-songwriter based in Durango, Colorado — and I know what it feels like to have songs living inside you that you can't quite reach.
I quit my tech job in 2023 to go all in on music. I released my first album in 2024, play sold-out shows across California, Colorado, and New Mexico, and have spent years developing a method for breaking through creative block — not by pushing harder, but by collecting over a decade of tools and methodologies to write from an embodied and intuitive center.
I offer mentorship for self-taught songwriters, writers who feel stuck, and experienced musicians, and rising artists. My approach blends purposeful mindset work with somatic and intuitive practices — helping you develop a consistent creative practice that doesn't depend on inspiration.
Each session is tailored to exactly where you are in your journey.
Available in Durango, Colorado and online.

You’ll feel at home here if you:
Feel blocked, inconsistent, uninspired or disconnected from your songwriting
Have dozens of unfinished songs and don't know how to close them

Feel like you've lost touch with your why as a songwriter
Are ready to build a body of work you're genuinely proud of
What to expect
-
Do you know that each species has a unique “acoustic niche” that has developed over millions of years? That means each species inhabits a specific frequency bandwidth to avoid overlapping with others + allows ecosystems to thrive. Soo…what does this mean for us artists/songwriters in the 21st century? What is our acoustic niche and how do we best inhabit it to support the larger conversation of the world?
This is where we start in the work. We get clear on your why — who you are as a songwriter, what you stand for, and what makes your sound irreplaceable. This becomes the foundation on which everything else is built on
-
Creativity can't flow when your body doesn't feel safe. We work on creating safety through grounding rituals and somatic practices — so songwriting stops feeling like a test you keep failing.
-
We'll identify the internal voices that sabotage your writing and learn how to create without them running the show.
-
We'll build a repeatable daily practice rooted in meditation, movement, and writing — so you show up to your songs consistently, regardless of inspiration.
-
We shift your success metric from quality to volume. More songs finished means more reps, and more reps means your craft deepens naturally — without the pressure.
-
The work doesn't end when the session does. You'll receive weekly prompts, exercises, and rituals to tend to your writing practice on your own time.
-
My goal isn’t to keep you in lessons indefinitely. I’m here to guide you toward independence—equipping you with the tools and methods to confidently sustain your sound and songwriting practice on your own.
