What is a holistic business coach?
Holistic business coaching means we focus on creating a business that works well with your skills, personality, lifestyle, and goals; this is my definition of holistic business. If you want more joy, ease and alignment with the work you create -this approach is for you.
A holistic business coach examines how you integrate with your work for less friction and more alignment.
Everything—from what you offer to how and when you decide to work, who you work with, and why—must start with a solid understanding of you.
Why?
Because you are the one living your business you can choose to create work that fits your life.
Entrepreneurship offers us the freedom to select everything, and if we want to make good choices, we must learn to know ourselves deeply; in this way, entrepreneurship is a personal development journey.

Learning how to be yourself in business is non-negotiable
If you want more work-life balance, ease and joy, success and happiness, a holistic approach to the business (or life) you create will help you achieve it. Clarifying your needs, values, strengths, and goals will help you create a business aligned with who and how you are in this world.

Yaay!
A holistic approach to business can help with everything -even marketing and tech.
Lots of new entrepreneurs aren't crazy about marketing. It wasn't until I realized that marketing is simply a conversation about something I believe in. Marketing becomes easier once you understand your way of having these conversations authentically. A holistic marketing approach will ensure that all strategies feel aligned.
Most people can find examples of marketing online that make them feel gross, and they can't imagine practicing them without compromising their values.
Truthfully, there are endless possibilities for you to connect with your ideal clients that align with your values, personality, and natural strengths.
Connection is marketing, and it can be rewarding and fun.
Would you rather I not talk about technology?
I know no one warned you about all the techie bits and pieces you need to figure out to start an online business. The tech stuff can often stop some of you before you even start -I get it. You are not alone. But similar to marketing, you have endless possibilities, from low-tech solutions to no tech. There is a learning curve for the self-proclaimed 'non-techie' person, but I promise there are ways 'you too' can feel good about the technology needed to run your business.
Your aligned systems and technology
As someone with a very neurodivergent brain, I've relied on technology as an aid. Technology should help you and not hinder you, and I enjoy helping you make friends with the tools that can help you thrive.
I promise we can find a way that works with you and for you. Holistic approaches to business building are at the core of how we use tools, systems, and technology to run our businesses.
I believe we can and should make choices based on our unique needs, including how we create and run our own businesses.
We don't all need that $500-a-month learning management system or the fancy email funnel-building thing -certainly not within the first year of business.
If you are a non-techie entrepreneur just starting with few to no clients, your needs will differ from those of a DIY tech guru with regular clients and some money to spend on complex systems and technology.
A holistic approach to systems and technology ensures that your decisions align with your needs and goals today so you can grow your business without burnout -and have fun!
