Why My Approach is Different

An Approach That’s Thoughtful, Personalized, and Grounded in What Matters Most to You

I’m a former Counsellor Turned Entrepreneur Turned Business Coach & Mentor


Supporting Both You and Your Business
With a background in Social Work and over a decade as a mental health counsellor, I’ve developed the skills to navigate complex situations and offer the support you need.

This experience, combined with my Enneagram Certification, allows me to guide you in a way that nurtures both you and your business, helping you move forward with more ease and clarity.

I’ve also spent the last 9 years as a web strategist, helping business owners build websites and businesses that truly serve them, while also growing my own successful business. This blend of practical strategies and deep understanding of the human side of business allows me to offer both technical know-how and the emotional support business owners need to thrive.

I understand that no two businesses are the same.
Instead of following an inflexible formula, I focus on the unique needs, values, and goals of each client. I’ll help you build a business that feels aligned with who you are, rather than what others expect you to be.

Less pressure, more clarity.
I focus on cutting through the noise, so you can focus on what really matters in your business. It’s not about doing more, it’s about doing what works for you.

How We’ll Work Together

  • Step 1: Getting Clear on Your Vision
    The first step in my approach is taking time to really understand what you want your business to look like. We’ll explore your goals, what you enjoy, and what’s challenging or frustrating.
  • Step 2: Creating a Strategy That Feels Right
    Together, we’ll design a personalized strategy that helps you succeed but also feels good for you, without the stress or overwhelm of trying to do it all. This strategy will be practical, actionable, and tailored to your strengths.
  • Step 3: Support Along the Way
    I don’t believe in a one-off “fix.” As we move forward, you’ll have ongoing support, so you never feel like you’re doing this alone. I’m here to help you through the highs and lows, providing feedback and guidance when you need it.

 What You Can Expect From Working With Me

A safe space to explore your ideas.

Our work together gives you the space to think, reflect, and plan without the pressure to keep up appearances. I’m here to offer support, but also to challenge you when needed and hold you accountable, so you can make real progress. You’ll have the room to reflect and grow, while also taking meaningful steps forward.

A plan that evolves with you.

Your business isn’t static, and neither is your plan. As you grow, shift, or change directions, we’ll adjust things so your business continues to grow with you.

Meaningful progress at your own pace.

Whether you want to take things slow or make significant changes quickly, we’ll find the pace that feels comfortable and sustainable for you.

Steph's deployment of the enneagram is so wise, gentle and natural – it doesn't at all feel like I needed to learn the "enneagram language" in order to understand it. She made it all relatable to me and our conversation so I could see myself more clearly, and my vocational goals more clearly.

Stephanie is a great listener and is flexible in her approach. She's easy and fun to work with and I value her experienced opinion. Our time together has given me a plan with particular steps to accomplish. I feel less stressed, knowing I can contact Stephanie if I have a question or problem.

A session is well worth the time and investment in your business. Stephanie is a huge help.
