I am a creativity, leadership, and mindfulness coach, as well as a consultant, educator, author, facilitator, and public speaker based in Austin, Texas. I help individuals and organizations tap into their innate creativity for greater insight, collaboration, and innovation.
I'm the creator and host of the The Syncreate Podcast: Empowering Creativity, exploring the intersections between creativity, psychology, and creativity. Our goal is to demystify the creative process and expand the boundaries of what it means to be creative.
I am also a writer, a musician, and a photographer, and I lead workshops and retreats on mindfulness and creativity.
Reach out to me for 1x1 or group coaching, organizational consulting, facilitation, workshops, and retreats.
I customize all offerings to the specific needs of the individual, group, or organization.
We can work virtually, in person in Austin, or at Mystic Oaks, my retreat center in the beautiful Texas Hill Country,
or I can travel to your preferred location.

"Creativity is more important today than ever before, and business experts are saying that it is one of the most important qualities to succeed in business and professional life. However, there are also many misconceptions about creativity, including that only certain people can be creative while others cannot, as well as there's only one type of creativity, which is most often associated with the visual and performing arts. Melinda Rothouse, Ph.D, wants to challenge these misconceptions." --International Business Times
"Anyone who’s engaged in a creative pursuit, such as writing a book or essay, composing music, or working on a piece of art, knows how it feels to be stuck...The co-founders of creativity and innovation consultancy Syncreate, Charlotte Gullick and Melinda Rothouse, are both lifelong creatives, and they know exactly how it feels when their creative spirit needs an extra spark" --USA Today

Creativity. It’s a word we throw around all the time, but what does it really mean?
How do we define creativity, and how do we understand the creative process itself? At Syncreate we see creativity very broadly. Humans, by our very nature, are creative beings. We adapt. We problem solve. We innovate. And to be creative is to bring together aspects of our emotional, psychological, and spiritual selves.
I’m Melinda Rothouse, PhD, and I help individuals and organizations bring their creative dreams and visions to life. On the Syncreate podcast, I share stories of the creative journey with you. We talk to changemakers and visionaries and everyday creatives working in a wide array of fields and disciplines. Our goal is to explore creativity in all its facets, and to gain a better understanding of the creative process – from imagination to innovation and everything in between.
We talk about surprising sources of inspiration. We consider the physical nature of creativity and how it lives in our bodies; we look at how we can use creativity to steward change for ourselves and others. And we explore what it feels like to be infused with creativity.
