Working with creative small business owners since 2021.
Proudly based in North Yorkshire, UK.
Slow business systems & support.
For people whose body, brain or life doesn’t fit a typical 9-5.
I help you build a sustainable business that works for you, around your needs.
A business that works around your needs & capacity.
I thought I had it all figured out, both personally and in my business, until life threw me a (very cute, 6 lbs) curveball.
I had to rebuild my business in a way that worked around my family, my neurodivergence, and my mental health.
Now, I help other creatives do the same. Because life happens, and you deserve a business that supports you, not drains you.
I’ve created a community program and 1:1 service & Support to help you build a business that fits your life, not the other way around.
You’re incredible at your craft, but running your business feels hard.
Why does it seem so easy for others, but not for you? Because you’re not like other people. Your body, brain or life means that traditional business advice doesn’t work for you.
You don’t have unlimited time and consistent energy to work on your business. You’re working around your real life, responsibilities and needs.
And that’s fine. It just means you need to do things differently. You need to make your business work for you, and I’d love to help you.
Work with me.
The Inner Retreat
My group program for creatives to get support, borrow my brain, and have a library of resources you can dip into whenever you need them.
Includes a self-paced program walking you through 8 key foundations that’ll form the basis of your slow & sustainable business.
Monthly AMA and Coworking with daily WhatsApp support.
1:1 Service & Support
You and I fully focused on your business for an entire quarter.
Service: 4 hours per week of done-for-you work as your personal Virtual Assistant

Hi, I’m Sophie.
A former Virtual Assistant turned slow business specialist, passionate about creative small businesses.
I help people like me - parents, those with neurodiversities or chronic health issues, to build a simpler, more sustainable business that fits around their needs, capacity and life.
Being a creative is just one part of who you are. I know firsthand how challenging it can be to juggle building a business and keeping on top of personal life. There’s no magic wand that we can use to duplicate ourselves (trust me, I’ve searched!), but there are ways to simplify and create a flexible rhythm that works.
The Slow Business Starter Kit
A freebie for you.
Everything you need to build (or rebuild) a slow and sustainable business that works for you, your needs and your capacity
Lovely words from previous clients.
“Working with Sophie is a creative business owners dream. She’s organised, creative, understands tech and social media and she’s brim full of ideas! Highly recommend Sophie’s work, classes and courses.”
“I’ve really loved working with you. Your content is always high quality and your perspective on things has really helped us to move forward with things - especially with the website, that’s looking so much better now.”
Weekly letters on Substack.
Join me on Substack, where I write weekly letters sharing the behind-the-scenes of my own slow and sustainable business, plus the stories of creative business owners, tired parents, neurodivergent minds, and anyone whose body, brain or life doesn’t fit a typical 9-5.
These are raw and personal stories, shared without judgement, about the often messy but beautiful reality of creating a life and a business in a world that wasn’t built for us.
These are your people, this is your place.
