One hour on Zoom. For clients who have worked with me before. Good if there's one specific thing wearing you down and you want a plan to act on straight away. Includes a written summary.
Founder Health
You hold up the business. Who's holding you up?
One-to-one coaching with Alice Thomson, in Fife and online.
Most founders I work with aren't ill. They're running on empty, and it's been that way long enough to feel normal.
You're good at pushing through. It's probably what built your business! But the things that keep you well are the first to go when work gets full, and at some point 'pushing through' stops working entirely.
Your stress has a source, and usually it's the business. That's why wellness advice doesn't stick and business coaching rarely asks how you're sleeping.
My work sits in the gap between the two. We find what's taking the most out of you, then build a plan around the way your weeks actually run, with enough accountability to make it stick.

What this looks like:
We can work in person or online. In person includes a walk through farmland and then coffee round my kitchen table. Online involves a Zoom call that ends with a plan.
Either way, you leave knowing what to change first, with someone in your corner to help you follow through.
This is for you if:
You run your own business and you know roughly what you should be doing for your health. You just haven't had the time or headspace to do it, and you're tired of advice that assumes you have both.
It's ok to ask for a little help to lighten the load sometimes.
“Sometimes things in life are in plain ​sight, but you can’t quite grasp what ​needs to change, until someone skilled ​like Alice helps to give you the practical ​tools you need to get the most out of life."
Jennifer Marshall, Business Partner, Farmer & Mother
"The coaching given by Alice has taken me to another very practical level. I am really astonished by the changes happening to me during just 3 sessions."

A note from Alice
I spent ten years as a dentist before retraining in lifestyle medicine and health coaching. I kept seeing the same thing: clever, capable people whose health was quietly suffering because nothing in their life had room for it.
Then I started a business of my own and saw it from the other side. I know what it's like when the business takes every spare hour, and I know which small changes make the most difference.
Everything I do is grounded in the evidence. None of it involves a morning routine you'll abandon by next Thursday.

“For the last 8 weeks I've managed to average more than 10000 steps every single day and I'm on week 6 of 'Couch to 5km'...this is definitely down to the work I did with you last year. I thought I'd let you know that I'm still benefitting from our sessions even though time has passed!"
Eilidh Robertson, Photographer, Farmer's Wife & Mother
"You were so right about "You know what: It won't be perfect, but it doesn't matter!" Thanks again for all your help, Alice. You've overwhelmed me with kindness and solid advice I needed to hear."
