Build a business that works for
your life.
Build a business that supports the lifestyle you want to live and the people you want to help.
Building your own business is exciting.
It can also be full of conflicting advice, endless to-do lists, and decisions that feel bigger than they need to be.
You probably don't need another productivity hack or marketing trend.
You need practical business education, thoughtful questions, and a place to sort through your ideas with someone who's been there.
Whether you're starting from scratch or growing something that's already working, we'll focus on building a business that fits your goals, your values, and your actual life.
I can help with…
Where do I even start? Turn too many ideas into a clear next step.
How do I find clients? Build relationships instead of chasing algorithms.
How do I stay organized? Create systems that fit real life.
How do I actually make money? Understand your numbers and make thoughtful decisions.
How do I market without feeling gross? Sell with confidence and integrity.
How do I grow without burning out? Build something that's sustainable.
Build a business that supports your life, not one you need a vacation from.
Every entrepreneur has different goals, responsibilities, strengths, capacity, and reasons for starting a business. That's why I don't believe in rigid business blueprints.
A strategy that works for a full-time consultant with no dependents might be impossible for a parent, a tradesperson, or someone balancing a day job. A marketing plan that feels energizing to one person might leave someone else overwhelmed and avoiding their business altogether.
The most successful businesses aren't built by following someone else's formula. They're built by understanding the principles behind good business decisions and adapting them to real life.
So I'll bring structure, practical education, thoughtful questions, and accountability.
You'll bring your expertise, your values, and your understanding of the life you're trying to build. Together, we'll sort through the options and create a business that is both profitable and sustainable.
Not because there's one right way to do business.
But because the best business is the one you'll actually keep showing up for.
There isn't one right way to build a business.

I haven't been this off the grid since I started my social media accounts in 2020, and yet I feel like my business is flourishing more than ever...not in a way that feels out of control and scary, but in a way that feels really aligned with who I am and what I want out of my life. This is why coaching with you is one of the best and most important business investments I've made in the past year. You can put that on your testimonials page. And you're never getting rid of me now, sorry lol”

I've worked with Chelsey on and off over the past three years since moving to Canada, and she has consistently been an incredible support at every stage of my business journey. No matter where I'm at, she's able to meet me there and help me move forward with clarity and confidence. What I really value is her ability to help me focus on what truly matters - and to recognise and build on what I already have, rather than feeling like I need to constantly create something new. Chelsey strikes the perfect balance between being supportive and being honest. She's not afraid to point out inconsistencies or highlight things that I might be overlooking, which has helped me to avoid potential issues and stay aligned in my business. She's genuinely a breath of fresh air to work with, and I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for thoughtful, grounded and insightful business coaching and support.

I truly don’t know where I’d be without Chelsey’s support. I came to her with a thousand ideas and one big goal. Six months later, I was essentially living my dream life. Her patience, her ability to lead by example, and her genuine care for you as a human — without attachment to what you ultimately choose — is an art in itself. It’s hard to articulate the depth of her support. From building my website, to setting boundaries, to challenging me to think differently — but most importantly, teaching me how to build a life that actually works for me. I’ve never felt this much peace, and I know she has played a major role in that. 12/10. Highly recommend.

Chelsey is a fantastic coach. Prior to working with Chelsey I was feeling very overwhelmed , alone and burnt out. Not only has she helped me clarify my direction and focus by helping me build systems, she has helped me to build my confidence as an entrepreneur. She really listens to what I am saying and gives great constructive advice on how to tackle any of the issues that arise. I love that she emails me detailed notes on our session so that I can go into the new work week with a new perspective . The coaching with Chelsey has been a game changer for me and my business.

Before working with Chelsey, entrepreneurship felt overwhelming for me even though I had already been in business for over 15 years. I had so many big ideas and was constantly coming up with plans for offerings in my head, but I kept getting stuck in paralysis by analysis and it felt impossible to create and maintain momentum. Chelsea has helped me clarify my values, simplify my decision-making, and take real action in a way that is sustainable and actually gets me closer to my business goals. Plus, she’s so relatable and helps me to feel like I’m not alone in my challenges, while keeping me accountable and giving me straightforward guidance and feedback. Love working with Chelsey!!!

Chelsey's has been incredibly helpful in helping me build my business. She's been my coach for over a year (almost 2) and has helped me rebrand in a way that aligns with my values and makes marketing feel a lot more authentic. And each time I get overwhelmed by a new challenge or fork in the road, she holds the space I need to sort out my thoughts and re-find my sense of direction. My bi-weekly calls with Chelsey keep my momentum up (and my income has been steadily growing!) I'll probably work with her forever! hahaha...

Chelsey has saved me countless hours of research and hard lessons by sharing resources and giving incredible recommendations from experience. I don't think I would have been able to say 'I have a successful business' for a full decade into the future if it wasn't for Chelsey. However, I think my favourite thing about Chelsey is the way she helps me protect my mental health. I explained boundaries I had set for myself around work early on and she reminds me whenever I step past them. She also reminds me to celebrate my wins - so many of us women put our head down and work and don't come up for air often enough to celebrate what we are doing. Entrepreneurship in general can feel lonely - like no one else understands the complexities of what you do - Chelsey makes you feel seen.

Chelsey’s coaching provides me a safe, warm and organized space to grow and brainstorm all my business ideas and fine tune my overall business strategy. That dedicated time to work on the ideas that need addressing in my business, is so valuable. I love working with Chelsey and would recommend her to anyone.

Hi, I’m Chelsey
I believe people do their best work when they have the opportunity to build lives that light them up.
My own path into entrepreneurship started after having my first baby. I built my first business, grew it for years, and sold it in 2019.
Since then, I’ve spent my career helping other entrepreneurs build businesses of their own. I’ve coached hundreds of business owners, taught entrepreneurship programs, facilitated workshops, supported community organizations, and reviewed grant applications and business plans.
Along the way, I’ve noticed the same thing again and again:
There is no single “right” way to build a business.
The entrepreneurs I work with are often creative, thoughtful people navigating real lives — caregiving, burnout, changing careers, neurodivergence, big ideas, and competing responsibilities.
They don’t need another rigid blueprint.
They need practical education, thoughtful questions, supportive structure, and space to make decisions that fit their own goals, values, capacity, and lives.
That belief is what led me to create The Business Guidebook — the framework behind my coaching, workshops, community programs, and free resources.
Whether we work together one-on-one, meet in a classroom, or you find my work online, my hope is the same:
To help you build a business that supports the life you want to create.
Questions I hear every week
How do I find clients without spending all day on social media?
Do I really need to post every day?
How do I find clients without feeling pushy?
What should I charge?
What if I raise my prices and no one books?
How do I know if my business idea is viable?
How do I know what to focus on first?
How do I stay consistent when life keeps changing?
Can I build a business without burning myself out?
Entrepreneurship doesn't have to mean constant stress, endless hustle, or sacrificing the people and hobbies you love. Together we'll build practical systems, sustainable marketing, and a business that grows without requiring you to be available 24/7.
