Your time is precious. Make it count
Business support that’s practical, human, and flexible for the season you’re in - because your business thrives when you do.
Hello, I’m Heather. Corporate escapee, elder millennial, solopreneur, and full-time human being. I care deeply.
As the founder of The .PAUSE Network, I serve as a business mindset coach and business support assistant, dedicated to empowering solopreneurs to run their businesses authentically and sustainably. Unlike typical virtual assistants, I focus solely on project-based work rather than long-term retainers.
With over 20 years in project management, corporate training, and administrative support, I help clients seek ease in their systems and within themselves, offering a calming presence and intuitive guidance.
This isn’t about hustling harder; it’s about creating the space to think and understand what drives you at your core, fostering authenticity in business.
Business support that grounds and calms
FIVE WAYS TO WORK WITH ME //
FIVE WAYS TO WORK WITH ME //
Dear you (the human behind the business),
Running a business can be a lot.
You might be stuck on a website you hate, buried under admin, or quietly wondering if you’ve lost the spark you started with.
I can help you clear the noise.
A simple Squarespace site that works.
A Notion setup that keeps everything in one place.
A few kinder systems.
A mindset reset so you can breathe again.
Business gets to feel easier. You get to feel like yourself again.
Shameless Name Drop
I am so honoured to have worked / be working with these amazing people!
Whether you’re here for business support or seeking a gentler kind of community through The .PAUSE Network, you’ll find the same thing at the core:
Honest partnership. Thoughtful structure. And a quiet reminder that you’re not meant to do this alone.
I take a flexible, human-led approach to all the services I offer, making them fit you and your business.
I work with you to feel:Supported. Heard. Uplifted.
I create a compassionate, non-judgemental space where you can share your ideas, challenges, and goals freely. Through regular check-ins and gentle guidance, you’ll always have someone in your corner.
Validated. Encouraged. Respected.
Your values and vision are at the heart of everything we do. I take the time to deeply understand what matters most to you, so the support you receive is truly aligned and feels good in your gut.
Inspired. Creative. Motivated.
Whether it’s brainstorming new offerings, mapping out your next steps, or gently untangling what’s keeping you stuck, I bring fresh eyes and a calm energy to help you reconnect with the joy of your work.
Part of a team. Empowered. Unstuck.
Together, we’ll simplify the chaos by building easy-to-manage systems, streamlining your day-to-day, and setting healthy boundaries. This gives you breathing space for self-care and life outside your business.
I’m here to help you run your business authentically and intentionally, so you can focus on what truly matters – your impact, your clients, and yourself.
“Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.”

What areas do I cover?
I’m based near Portsmouth on the south coast of England, and work with clients across the UK – from Wales to Cheshire, Devon to Sussex.
Most of our work happens online, but I deeply value real connection. Whenever possible, I meet clients in person – to listen, to understand, and to build a working relationship that feels steady and human.
I also host The .PAUSE Network in the Guildford area– a gentle coworking space for women in their 40s and beyond who want to do business differently. It’s a place for real conversations, shared wisdom, and showing up just as you are.
This blend of virtual support and in-person community creates a slower, more grounded way of working – one that honours your values as much as your to-do list.
