What is your story?
I am a Holistic Business Coach from Melbourne, Australia. It is my passion is to work 1:1 with women solopreneurs who have been operating a business for 2+ years, are self-motivated, take self-responsibility and are looking for guidance to refine their business model through coaching and mentoring to find flexibility & balance to scale their business.
I help clarify investment in resources of time, money, energy to reduce any roadblocks that are holding them back in achieving vision and goals for the next 3, 6, 12 months.
Coming from a place of first-hand experience in my own entrepreneurial journey, unless you have systems and strategies in place, it is tough balancing your work and life commitments.
I therefore take a ‘holistic’, big picture view when reviewing a business model, and through an initial ‘Discovery Session’ with a client, focus on areas of business and lifestyle that impact.
What is your motto?
Be true to yourself and tread your own path.
