Imagine a business in which you could be wholly yourself, honouring all your needs and desires. Imagine if you could work at the pace you crave or require, and still make good money. Imagine if showing up and selling no longer felt gross or wrong, but completely you.
There’s a slower, gentler and more profitable way of doing business. And I’m here to help you make it happen.
» I’ve currently got 2 spaces available for 1:1 mentoring starting this Summer «
Past clients have used our time together to bring beautiful, aligned projects to life in their business, restructure their products and offerings, make explicit and consistent space for rest in their days, build a new business from the ground up and discover the relief of a slow, gentle and profitable business.

I really feel like I am investing in myself when I am working with Astrid. She is incredibly encouraging, gentle and on your side, which is exactly what I needed. What's more she has an incredible eye for detail, she picks up on nuances and any hesitations for exploration. It sometimes feels like I have had a little bonus therapy as part of the mentoring sessions! She is so empathetic and compassionate. Astrid is not afraid to challenge you either, which is something I needed as well. She is a brilliant mentor and I am really glad to have had her by my side whilst I navigated a tricky chapter. — Bonnie

What it means to run a slow, gentle and profitable business
Slow | A business without the hustle, productivity hacks or get rich quick schemes. A business that is growing, at a pace that is sustainable for you. A business that allows for more space, time and quiet in your days.
Gentle | A business that truly nourishes you. Running your business from your intuition, and leaning into your own inner compass. Feeling focus and recentred. A business free from ingrained 9-to-5 habits, ‘shoulds’ and pressure.
Profitable | A business that is slow and gentle, and that makes the kind of money that you want–whether by taking your business full-time, or running your business part-time. A business that is nourishing and gentle, rewarding and successful–financially and otherwise.
How I support you during our time together
By going off the beaten track and seeing other ways of doing business, without the hustle or productivity hacks;
By creating clarity out of tangled thoughts and emotions;
By holding space for you, asking questions to help you discover what you want and gently challenging you when necessary;
By creating and having overview of your plans and projects, holding you gently accountable during and in between our calls;
By empowering you, cheering you and reminding you that the vision you have for your business and life is truly possible.
In my mentoring calls with Astrid, I come with a list of things to cover, and we always manage to cover everything and more.
And as a coach, I know that so much happens in between calls. Astrid makes it easy to send SOS and celebrations. Being in touch helps me get her input, make decisions, and feel supported. This is what I want – to feel like my coach is on my team and is there for me.” — Cynthia Morris, author and coach.
Tackling a big project, laying the foundations for a new business or making changes to your existing one take time. Working together for a full quarter enables me to go deep into your business, your vision and your desires. And it allows you to take steps and make real changes, with me at your side.
If working together this quarter feels right to you, you can discover more here, or immediately book a chemistry call (free of charge, no strings attached). Or just hit reply to this message if you have any questions.
I’m so looking forward to getting to know you and going deep in your business together this quarter! x
