The Root & Rise Sessions
Root Down. Breathe Deep. Rise Up. The Root & Rise Sessions offer 1:1 therapeutic support and practical guidance for self-employed women and non-binary people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, isolated and/or uncertain.
Find clarity and take meaningful, aligned action
Running your own business isn’t just about getting things done, it’s also about navigating mindset challenges, finding your direction, and staying grounded when life feels overwhelming. Sometimes, you just need a safe space to pause, reflect, and figure out your next steps (and a little bit of a rant to unpack some of that heavy stuff!)
That’s why I created The Root & Rise Sessions – one day a month dedicated to one-to-one calls just for you. Each month, I’ll open up 4 x 45-minute sessions on a Friday for those moments when you need someone to talk to, help you untangle your thoughts, and guide you towards feeling calm, clear, and in control again.
You don’t need to be an existing client to book: these sessions are open to anyone who needs them. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just looking for some guidance, The Root & Rise Sessions are here to help you feel rooted in your purpose and ready to move forward with confidence.

“Pre-Heather, I was in a state of overwhelm and paralysis... Heather really listened to me... Her emotional support has brought back my calm and restored my self-belief.”
What to Expect
During our time together, we’ll explore both the practical and the personal:
🌱 Root Down: We’ll uncover what’s keeping you stuck, whether it’s mindset challenges like self-doubt or practical obstacles like content planning or client communication.
🌀 Breathe Deep: Create space to reflect, breathe, and gain clarity on what you truly need.
🔥 Rise Up: Together, we’ll map out practical, actionable steps to move forward, blending therapeutic coaching with my practical business experience.
🪞 Reflect & Reframe: Gain insight into how your mindset is impacting your progress, and learn simple techniques to shift your perspective.
Who Is It For?
The Root and Rise Sessions are for self-employed women and non-binary people, who:
Feel stuck or overwhelmed in their business.
Struggle with mindset challenges like limiting beliefs or inner critic chatter.
Want a mix of practical business strategy and therapeutic coaching.
Crave a space to pause, reflect, and find their footing.
Are ready to reconnect with their vision and take confident, aligned action.
You’ve poured so much love and energy into building your business. But sometimes, despite all your hard work, those tricky thoughts and feelings can start creeping in...
💭 Why do I feel so stuck when I’m doing what I love?
💭 Am I really good enough to make this work?
💭 Why does running my business sometimes feel so lonely?
💭 How can I move forward when I’m feeling overwhelmed and unsure?
Sound familiar? These thoughts are completely valid, and so many self-employed people feel the same way. Being in business for yourself can feel isolating at times, and it’s easy to lose sight of your purpose when self-doubt takes over.
But you don’t have to keep pushing through on your own or trying to figure it all out without support. You deserve a space to pause, reflect, and find your way forward: with someone who truly understands what you’re going through…that’s me - Hi!
That’s exactly why The Root & Rise Sessions exist, to give you the practical guidance and gentle coaching you need to feel more grounded, clear-headed, and ready to take your next steps with confidence. You don’t have to do it alone. Let’s work through it together.

Preparing for Your Session:
To make the most of our time together, you’ll receive a short questionnaire after booking your session. This helps you reflect on what you’re currently facing, where you’d like support, and what a successful outcome looks like for you.
Taking a few moments to fill this in means we can hit the ground running, making sure you get the most value from our time together. Your answers will help me prepare so we can focus on what matters most to you.
Don’t worry…it’s fairly quick, thoughtful, and designed to help you feel ready for the session.
"Heather just makes everything feel so much easier. Her calm, friendly, and professional approach makes me feel instantly more relaxed and confident about my business. She has an amazing way of helping me see things clearly and guiding me to make decisions that feel right."
Why I created The Root and Rise Sessions
I created The Root & Rise Sessions because, while many of my clients work with me on a long-term basis, I know that not everyone can invest in ongoing VA support. I often meet self-employed women who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of their next steps – but they don’t have the budget or can’t find the right fit for a long-term VA relationship elsewhere.
These sessions are my way of extending support in a more accessible, one-off format. It’s a chance for you to get the guidance, validation, and practical help you need, without the commitment of a retainer (especially if you’re struggling to find a VA who you vibe with).
It’s all about making support more available, more affordable, and more aligned with where you are right now.
