About Jean Van’t Hul

Hi, I’m Jean—an author, entrepreneur, business coach, and workshop facilitator with a passion for helping people unlock their full potential, manifest their dreams, and create lives filled with authenticity, purpose, and abundance.

For over two decades, I’ve been harnessing the power of vision boards to turn dreams into tangible outcomes. My personal journey of building the bridge between vision and reality has transformed my life and inspired my mission to empower others to do the same.

Whether through coaching, workshops, or writing, I guide individuals, groups, and businesses to discover what truly lights them up and to step boldly into their dream lives.

Dream Big
& Live with Purpose

My mission is to help people live their best lives and create success on their own terms. I do this through goal setting and vision board workshops, articles, and coaching.

My Journey

My entrepreneurial path began with The Artful Parent, a global platform dedicated to helping families and educators foster children's creativity through art. For over a decade, I led a heart-centered mission to inspire parents and teachers to use art as a powerful tool for connection, self-expression, and exploration. From creating online courses and a membership site to writing award-winning books to managing a blog, this journey taught me the value of creativity, collaboration, and adaptability.

This experience shaped my understanding of how to transform ideas into impactful projects—a skill I now bring to my work as a coach and facilitator. Through Life Dreamery, I’ve expanded my mission to focus on helping others harness their own creativity and clarity to build meaningful, thriving lives and businesses.

Vision Board Magic

Vision boards have been my go-to tool for more than 20 years, helping me dream big, gain clarity, and achieve incredible results. Many of my proudest accomplishments started as images and affirmations on a vision board.

In my newest book, Vision Board Magic: A Practical Guide to Manifesting Success, Happiness & Abundance, I share the processes, tips, and real-life success stories that show just how powerful vision boards can be. This practical guide is designed to help you uncover your deepest dreams and turn them into reality.

Today, I facilitate vision board workshops for individuals, teams, and organizations—both virtually and in person—helping people harness this tool for clarity, motivation, and transformation.

Coaching Entrepreneurs

As a business coach with over 17 years of entrepreneurial experience, I know what it’s like to roll up my sleeves, wear all the hats, and navigate the highs and lows of running a business. I’ve built successful platforms, launched products, and built a team, and now I’m passionate about sharing those lessons with others.

Through one-on-one coaching, I help entrepreneurs start, grow, and scale their businesses. Whether you’re launching a new idea or looking to level up your current venture, I’m here to provide guidance, problem-solving, resources, and accountability to help you achieve your goals.

While I have a few private clients, I primarily coach entrepreneurs in the Asheville area through Mountain BizWorks.

Life in Asheville

When I’m not coaching clients or facilitating workshops, you’ll find me hiking the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, playing board games with my teenage daughters, or exploring creative projects in my everyday life. I’m deeply inspired by the vibrant community of Asheville, which fuels my passion for both nature and creativity.
