I know what it’s like.
I don’t just ‘talk positive’ —
I listen, work to understand, and find practical answers to real challenges, because reframing reality can get you as stuck as not doing anything.
This isn’t generic business advice or a scripted ‘VIP Day.’
This is real business support from lived experience — including the mistakes, which are often the most useful bit.
Whether you’re just starting out or trying to grow what you’ve already built, I can help you work out where you are, where you want to be, and how to get there. I don’t work in jargon or scripts. What I offer is real human experience, practical thinking and honest guidance.
From writing your business plan, working out your pricing, sourcing the things you need from professional support to insurance, marketing, advertising, admin systems, compliance matters, to getting to grips how you’re going to do your banking to tax, insurance and other matters — I’m the supportive professional ‘friend’ who can supply the information nobody teaches you when you qualify.
I can also help you think through the bigger strategic questions: what kind of practice do you want that will meet your needs too? And how are you going to get from here to there.
A Bit About Me
I started out as office manager to an entrepreneur in London moving to Practice Manager of a law firm.
I was then self-employment for over 25 years — first as a reflexologist and aromatherapist, then as an HCPC registered Podiatrist alongside. I’ve worked in clinics, therapy rooms, people’s homes doing domiciliary work and cross-trained into other practices including talking therapies, among other things, for personal and business development. I’ve also recently created a very niche creative photography education business from scratch (my personal interest) including writing two books, building a YouTube channel from scratch and getting featured in magazines.
I’ve picked myself up from two life crises — being run over by a police car and later a serious illness — and turned things back around.
How it works
These sessions are offered as individual sessions or short packages, depending on what you need. We start with a free initial Zoom chat — no obligation, no hard sell, just an honest conversation about whether I can help.
You trained hard to do what you do. Let’s make sure the business side works as hard as you do.
Please note: the support I offer is practical business guidance drawn from personal and professional experience.
It does not constitute legal, financial or medical advice.
For matters requiring regulated professional advice, I will always say so and signpost you accordingly.
