Slow Business Mentoring
Gentle rebel… are you ready for a values-led, sustainable business that works for you?
Let’s grow slow this season
I wonder if any of the following sounds familiar?
You wanted to work for yourself because you wanted to do things differently and have time for the things that make you happy.
But now you’re still working all the hours and feel like you’re playing perpetual catch up.
You are creative and have more ideas than time…
But you’re not sure how to turn those ideas into reality, or into a profitable and ethical business.
You’ve tried to do things “the right way”, but it’s burning you out.
All the pressure to create content, grow your numbers and show up consistently doesn’t feel good.
You feel overwhelmed and all the courses and workbooks you sign up for aren’t leading to plans that actually fit you.
Bloody capitalism, eh? It’s really done a number on us.
Maybe you’re so frazzled you haven’t even had time to consider that there may be another option.
Working with me gives you…
Dedicated, focussed time to talk through your ideas and make a clear plan of action.
A deeper understanding of your own abilities and limitations at different times of your cycle and/or energy so you can harness your energy in its abundance.
Reminders to stay on a path that aligns with your overall vision and your values - on a path to a business that works for you.
Reflections and prompts between our sessions to hold you gently accountable to our conversations, and to cheer you on.
Honest questions and friendly feedback from someone who has been there (me, I’m talking about me), rather than friends and family who are very lovely but maybe just don’t get what you’re trying to do.
I get it
I have been running my own businesses for 9 years now - including product design, creation and sales, two successful crowdfunders, teaching workshops (from home and my London studio), building and facilitating an online community, event organisation, even copywriting and sub-editing. And most of that was around raising my twins.
I have built, burnt out, burnt down, rebuilt, pivoted and realigned. I’d love to support you as you realign too.
Less hustle and grind - more thought, more space, more of what you want.
“Jen’s advice was invaluable!
I was experiencing some real barriers with my creative business and after our first call I already felt so much more hopeful and optimistic about the possibilities. It wasn’t just that she was lovely and encouraging, her help was also practical and I went away with a clearer direction and understanding of how to get to where I needed to be.
Thanks to Jen it’s all beginning to feel within reach now.”

Your Season of Slowing Down
Six Sessions | £250 a month for three months
Longer-term mentoring to find your flow and realign your work, values and energy. This is perfect to launch or shift your business so it works for you.
These one-hour sessions take place every 2 weeks via Zoom, with email mentoring in between, giving you a full season of dedicated, one-to-one support.
I’ve worked with clients to:
Completely rework their offerings and schedules to open up more space to breathe
Create new products from idea, to design, to launch, all planned around natural cycles
Release the parts of their work that no longer serve them, and take their first steps toward building something new
A focussed hour, just for you
1 hour call with follow up email mentoring | £150
This session is ideal for talking through a specific challenge, untangling ideas, and roughly mapping out projects, all with consideration of the ebbs and flows of natural cycles.
Our call is preceded by a tailored questionnaire and followed by a month of email mentoring support.
Clarify your thoughts, focus your energy, and move forward with intention.
Past sessions have been booked for:
Planning a brand refresh for a nature-focussed business
Taking the leap from full time to freelance and untangling the first steps
Digging into pricing and (oh so importantly) how to communicate the changes to clients.
Can’t pay right now but need the support? Take a look at my bartering page.
Working with Jen has been an absolute blessing.
“Over the past 3 months, she has helped me to turn my life, business and mindset around. Consequently, I have been able to pull myself out of a very large, dark, pandemic-shaped hole! Her approach, knowledge and patience added a depth to our sessions that I wasn’t expecting, and the business tools she shared really helped me to look at what I was trying to achieve in a manageable and structured way. Jen, thanks for your wisdom, believing in me, and giving me the tools and confidence to smash the year ahead. The magic is happening!”
