The Inner Retreat
A community and ongoing support space, plus a self-paced slow business course and ever-growing resource library for creative business owners whose body, brain, or life doesn't fit the 9–5.
Find a seat by the fire and take a breath.
You’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
(Launching September 2026)
If running your business feels harder than it should, you’re not alone.
Everyone else seems to be able to run a successful business with ease, but not you. Yours feels hard, and no matter what advice you follow, nothing seems to help.
But you're not like everyone else. You’re building a business around a body, brain or life, which doesn’t fit traditional business advice.
Maybe you're a parent, neurodivergent, managing a health condition, or carrying caring responsibilities. You’re working with limited time, fluctuating energy, and demanding responsibilities.
Rigid plans or constant output don’t work for you. You’re not lazy or unmotivated. You’re burnt out from trying to build a business in a way that doesn’t fit your life, and quietly wondering if there’s something wrong with you for finding it so hard.
There’s nothing wrong with you; you’re just taking business advice from people who don’t understand. You know what you want to build. What you need is support and a structure that works with you, not against you, and a community of people who actually get it.
And you’ve found it.
Welcome to The Inner Retreat
(Launching September 2026)
This is for you if…
You're building a business around chronic illness, neurodivergence, caring responsibilities, or a life that doesn't fit a 9–5
You’re burnt out and overwhelmed, and you need to make your business work for you, around your capacity and needs.
You're tired of generic business advice that assumes you have endless time and energy. You need accessible resources and personalised support to build a capacity-first business.
You need to go at your own pace. You have too many responsibilities and demands in your life, and your business needs to work around those. That means being able to drop things, be flexible and adapt without breaking your business.
You also need a stable, consistent income each month, too. You don’t know if a flexible business can be sustainable for you. It can, and I’d love to support you to make it happen.
You'd love a small, quiet community of people who understand and will support, encourage and motivate you as you go.
The truth is, it will take a moment to adjust to having a sustainable business that works around your needs, that feels fulfilling and joyful. People may not understand. It’s not the narrative we’ve been told is normal. So I promise to support you to put yourself and your needs first, and build a business that takes care of you.

Inside The Inner Retreat
You’re not alone.
You begin working with your capacity instead of fighting it, building gentle momentum that feels sustainable rather than exhausting.
You’re supported as you simplify your business, slow things down, and focus on what actually matters.
Instead of feeling behind or doing it wrong, you feel grounded, understood, and capable again (because you 100% are!).
Your business starts to fit around your life, capacity and needs, not the other way around.
And then you’re finally creating something that feels sustainable, supportive, and possible.
What you get inside…
The Course
At the heart of The Inner Retreat is my eight-part slow business framework, a self-paced course to help you build simple systems, supportive structures, and sustainable rhythms. It’s the solid foundations on which your entire business is built upon.
Each foundation includes a short video and a workbook to work through in your own time, in whatever order makes sense for you.
1. Your Slow Business Vision — what you're building and how you'll move forward
2. Branding & Identity — the look, feel, and voice of your business
3. Offers — what you'll sell and how to keep it simple
4. Your Digital HQ — a home base with systems to run your business without chaos
5. Email Marketing — building your list gently, with a simple opt-in that works
6. Your Main Platform — where your audience finds you, set up with intention
7. Content & Planning — a repeatable plan so you're not starting from scratch every time
8. Review & Next Steps — how to check in, adjust, and keep moving forward
There's no timeline. No deadline. You can work through all eight in order or dip into whichever foundation you need most right now. This is yours to return to whenever you need to recalibrate.
Community & Support
Ongoing support, so you're never doing it alone.
The Inner Retreat isn't just a course. It's a space to build friendships and get the support you need from people who genuinely understand your needs and capacity
WhatsApp community: a friendly, supportive group for everyday chats, questions, accountability, and encouragement
Monthly AMA office hours: send your questions in advance throughout the month and get a personalised, detailed recorded response that you can watch whenever you have the time. No live call required
Monthly coworking sessions: time set aside to actually get things done, together. I find co-working so motivating, especially with my neurodivergent brain. I don’t know how it works, but it does, and it’s magic.
Quarterly planning calls: head into each new season with clarity on where you're going and how to get there
A library of resources
Continually growing, and based on YOUR struggles.
This is where I’ve taken everything I know about running a business, with my experience as a VA, and turned it into resources where multiple people can be taught at once. It’s literally my brain, organised into resources, accessible when I’m not around. Think guides, how-to videos, anything that comes up in our monthly AMA office hours that you’d like deeper guidance on. As well as occasional challenges and themed prompts.
PLUS! A new resource every quarter for you to dive into whenever you’d like to.
And the best bit?
Lifetime pricing! Pay once, and you’re in for good. You’ll never have to pay another penny again, even when the price goes up, which it will as the library of resources grows and becomes more valuable.
How it Works
The Inner Retreat is designed to fit gently around real life.
There’s no start date, finish line or timetable to keep up with. It’s an ongoing space you can lean on whenever you need it.
Each month follows a familiar rhythm, so you always know what to expect:
We come together for monthly coworking and personalised advice in the AMA Office Hours. As well as the quarterly planning sessions. These touchpoints help you stay on track without crowding your diary.
The WhatsApp community is there for support in between. Think everyday questions, feedback and accountability.
New resources appear in the library every quarter, giving you fresh ideas and guidance.
You go at your own pace. You choose when to join live, when to work through materials, and when to simply listen in. The Retreat is built to ebb and flow with your own energy and season.
Think of it less as a programme to “complete” and more as a long-term home base for your business. A place you can return to whenever you need clarity, company or a gentle push forward.
Why I created The Inner Retreat
I built The Inner Retreat carefully and purposefully. I knew I could no longer work as a Virtual Assistant in the traditional sense, working 1:1 with clients on set dates and completing set hours.
But how else does a VA work? I needed something that would allow me to help multiple people at once in their businesses. It took me a while to work out the logistics, but once I did, The Inner Retreat was born.
I’ve taken everything I’ve learnt as a Virtual Assistant, and everything I’ve learnt as a chronically ill, neurodivergent mother with caring responsibilities for neurodivergent children, one with complex health needs, and created the system and support that I needed all those years ago.
I know you don’t have endless time and energy to work on your business; that’s why I create resources for you to access at a time that suits you.
I know that you need to go at your own pace, and you can’t attend weekly live sessions. That’s why I didn’t create them.
I know you still want personalised support as well as self-paced resources; that’s why I created The Foundations Course so you always have access to the important fundamentals, and also why I created multiple touchpoints for personalised support each month:
You have access to monthly Ask Me Anything Office Hours where you can submit your questions throughout the month, and I’ll record a personalised video with the answers/guidance.
You also have the monthly coworking sessions, quarterly business planning calls and new specific resources.
And alongside all of that, you have the community WhatsApp group for daily chats, support, guidance and encouragement with others who understand the need for a flexible, capacity-first business.

What might be holding you back
"I'm too overwhelmed to take on anything new right now."
The Inner Retreat isn't something to race through. There's no schedule, no pressure, no falling behind. You can join and simply breathe for a bit, knowing the support is there when you're ready for it.
"I've tried courses before and never finished them."
This isn't a course with a finish line. It's a space you keep coming back to. Dip in when you have capacity, step back when you don't. It'll all still be here.
"I'm not sure it's the right time."
If your business feels harder than it should, it's the right time. If you know you want a business that works around your capacity, needs and life, it’s the right time. You don't need to have everything figured out first.

Why it matters
This isn’t about chasing the next big launch or working late every night. It’s about giving your business a rhythm you can actually keep up with, and knowing you’ve got steady support and company as you grow.
My promise to you
I'm not here to tell you how to run your business. I'm here to help you figure out what actually works for you, your body, your brain, your life. I'll be in the WhatsApp group throughout the week, in your corner at every coworking session and planning call, and in your inbox every month with honest, personalised answers to your questions through the AMA Office Hours.
You deserve a business that takes care of you. That's what The Inner Retreat is for.
