1:1 Business Mentoring
For entrepreneurs
Whether you're dreaming up your meaningful work or growing what you've already built, let's make it flow with more ease & create the impact you want.
If the current loud & surface level business tactics don't feel right to you, then you’re at the right place.
I've developed & honed a quieter, more self- & spirit-attuned way to be in business.
Let me help you to clarify or grow your own business using these same ways — in a way that feels totally you.
“When you get your ‘Who am I’?’ question right, all of your ‘What should I do?’ questions tend to take care of themselves.”
Are you called to do things differently & long to work for yourself, even when it feels uncertain?
Do you have those 3am moments of “Am I crazy for doing this?”
Deep down, do you wonder if this calling & these feelings are really guidance “breadcrumbs” dropped along the way?
I believe they are.
They’re telling you you’re on to something.
Is this you?
Like you, I'm an entrepreneur who chose to go off-the-beaten path. I know the current pushy, loud business tactics just don't feel right to those of us who are sensitive & creative. So I've developed & honed a quieter, more self- & spirit-attuned way to be in business offered in my Business Mentoring Sessions.

Feeling stuck with marketing decisions
Struggling to define offerings or choose where to focus energy
Feeling plagued by imposter syndrome ("Who am I to do this?")
Grappling with pricing their services — & charging for them (see the FAQ on this topic)
Questioning do I have what it takes to be a more introverted entrepreneur in what seems like an extroverted, noisy business world?

Whether you have a business or are just starting out, together we can —
-
Navigate the practical, spiritual, & emotional aspects of being in business.
Want to know what I don’t see addressed in most business courses & coaching programs?
YOU.
If you being in business (or your business itself) isn't feeling right to you, the problem often lies beneath the surface.Feelings of overwhelm, insecurity, & uncertainty aren’t just obstacles — they're important signals. Free workbooks, marketing courses, & strategy guides mean little if your foundation is unstable.
My approach is different. These sessions offer:
Intuitive, deep listening;
Personalized guidance;
Practical strategies beyond traditional coaching;
Tools & resources to get you going & growing;
Holistic support that addresses business, emotional, & spiritual dimensions.
We'll uncover what might be holding you back from starting or growing your business by going far deeper than surface-level tactics.
Evolve your business from the inside out as I companion you along the way. -
Create practices & strategies that feel true to you — with success defined your way.
Getting yourself & your business out in the world revolves around sharing what you love with the people who want what you’re offering (aka marketing).
To be effective & at ease with marketing, hearing yourself is the key. When you listen deeply, everything transforms. Things get easier. You learn to trust your gut & build strategies that feel like you.
Through 1:1 mentoring sessions, I can help you to both listen to yourself & to build on what works for you so that your efforts just feel right.
And, you have a business that reflects your true self — without pretense, without pressure.
Featured Client: Naomi Rose
Naomi Rose is a book developer & creative midwife.
In her own words, she “guides women over 50, healers, creatives, & spiritual seekers to unearth their gifts & give them to the world in the form of a book.”
She created her own process called “Writing from the Deeper Self”: “a soulful, process-based approach to writing a book that connects you with your unique, creative ways by . . . listening together …”
Naomi became a client after having worked over the years with multiple business coaches & guides, both online & through SCORE volunteers. Though they were all experts in one way or another, she shared, ”None of them really got who I am. This left me to my own devices, trying to make myself follow their scripts — join Facebook groups, further define my ‘brand,’ & so on. Eventually, I would just lose heart & stop working with them, seeing their approach to my situation as further proof that ‘I’m just not good at marketing, & I don’t even really want to do it’.”
After our first session, I sensed that while Naomi was no stranger to listening to her clients, she wasn’t fully used to being listened to by others around her work in a way that was meaningful & helpful to her. Just as importantly, she wasn’t listening to, or trusting, herself.
Through our sessions together, I asked careful, considered questions around what she felt was holding her back in her work in general & her outreach efforts in particular. Out of that came some revelatory answers for her to contemplate on her own & for us together to use to guide her way forward in a way that she could get behind wholeheartedly.
So what changed for Naomi in working this way?
She didn’t feel squished into a template or a spreadsheet of “to-dos” at the expense of her own authenticity. Why? Because we intentionally paid respectful attention to who she was, where I listened to the underlay of what she was really saying & where old stories & wounds were tripping her up. Out of that she deconstructed her conviction that she must turn herself into someone she was not in order to get her business & herself out in the world. Together, we aligned a few efforts with who she really is. The result?
Outcomes from Naomi’s mentoring sessions
Naomi is:
In process with a website professional to rework & enhance her website for a better user experience, with updated content & offerings. Hiring a web developer has given her some much-longed-for freedom to work on the creative aspects of growing her offerings — along with her revenue & reach.
Launching three new group offerings in January 2025, thus stepping more fully into group work, an area she’s been resistant to embrace fully. While still staying within her “safe” comfort zone of 1:1 client work, Naomi is now moving into a “one to many” approach.
Even more confident about her deeper purpose & eager to bring the work out in a way that will speak to her ideal clients & will also be true to who she is, to her being.
“Having a mentoring session with Dana is like sitting with a spiritual wise person—calm, accepting, comforting, able to see into things—who also knows a boatload about the ins and outs of business, including a spiritually based business. I felt seen, and able to better see myself. And out of this, I felt eager to dive in, to explore the business-related steps that had emerged out of our conversation and begin putting them into action.”
