About Creatrix Libby Hoffman
My Story
Hi, I’m Libby Hoffman, also known as Creatrix Libby. I was born the seventh of twelve children and raised in Queens, New York, where I developed an early love of art, creativity, acting, spirituality, and questions of social change. Growing up in a multicultural city and church, alongside experiences like watching the smoke rise from the Twin Towers at six and entering a middle school where I was one of the only white students, opened me to questions about our connection to one another and the world.
At 17, I began teaching English with a school of social work in Haiti. In my early 20s, I set out to explore these questions through entrepreneurship, manifestation, peacebuilding, and “playing with life,” traveling across five continents through workstays, couch surfing, nonprofit work, and the generosity of friends and strangers. Along the way, I studied multiracial community building, interdisciplinary design, and the Bahá’í teachings on the oneness of humanity, weaving learning in and out of the classroom and into lived experience.
I was also shaped by grief, mental illness, loss, and healing—including my brother’s death, the pandemic, a mass shooting, and my own journey of sexual healing and mental health. These experiences gave rise to Liberatory Love Coaching: a trauma-informed space for self-inquiry that weaves together mind, body, spirit, relationships, and social change.
Today, my work continues to evolve through a devotion to the Earth and to creating conditions for our relationships—with ourselves, each other, the planet, and our living systems—to thrive. I believe we are alive at a time of profound social and spiritual transformation, and together we are awakening to our extraordinary capacity to create, connect, and flourish. I view myself and our world, as a living art-peice in process. Let’s see how we might become more whole, together.
About Liberatory Love Coaching
Liberatory Love is a vision for becoming more whole by making space for both the light and shadow of being human. Through some of life’s most challenging thresholds—including death, divorce, loss, and profound change—it explores how deeper relationship with ourselves and one another can become a pathway for transformation.

About Sacred Geometry Technology
Sacred Geometry Technology is an evolving framework and platform exploring how patterns and principles found in nature can inform the design of human-made systems.
