Business Coaching

1:1 Business Coaching

Build a practice that runs without everything coming through you.

Coaching is where we work on the parts of your practice that still depend on you; decisions, systems, team, and the habits that keep pulling everything back to your desk.

With my 1:1 coaching and mentoring, you won’t be just another therapist in business. You’ll build a practice that’s profitable, built to last, and shaped around how you actually want to live and work.

Whether you’re a solo practitioner or leading a growing team, together we’ll design a practice that reflects how you want to live and work. I’ll support you with the structure, systems, AI tools, and practical strategies you need to grow sustainably, without the late nights, weekend stress, or burnout cycle.

Instead, we’ll put systems in place so your practice works for you and you can actually switch off.

You’re not doing this alone, and you’re not starting from scratch.

In short? Clear steps, real support, and space to breathe.

COACHING WITH ENOUGH TIME TO FINISH WHAT YOU START

Long enough to change something structural, short enough to stay focused on it.

 Some coaching can be funded through the Employment Assistance Fund (EAF) as workplace support, including for neurodivergent business owners. If that might apply to you, mention it on your coffee chat and I’ll walk you through what’s involved.

Coaching in Action

“Warm, dynamic, responsive, but always grounded in systems thinking which really worked for me. I left our first block of sessions with confidence about my abilities as a small business owner, so much clarity about where to take my clinic and how to build sustainable systems, and a good understanding of how to work WITH my brain, not against it.”

Hilana – BIBIVOX Speech Pathology

“I came to her wanting help with systems for my policies and procedures, and she absolutely delivered. She gave me insights into streamlining my day-to-day work, putting clearer boundaries in place, and creating simple systems that weren’t even about tech but made a huge difference. She also supported me through tricky team dynamics, helping me build more confidence in delegation and leadership.” 

Kate – Hello Sunshine

“Ish has an amazing knack for streamlining processes and helping us create a clear roadmap for success. She has a remarkable ability to connect the dots and bring clarity to complex situations.”
