Before Atelier I spent over 20 years in the talent, consulting and corporate world. I helped organizations structure their business, find the talent that suits them both now and for future positioning and then, I flipped into the corporate world helping companies re-position their human resources, their people - their most most important asset.
I never meant to be a business coach. In fact, I used to cringe a little at the title. But in actuality, whether it was a team member building on their strengths, positioning growth for a department or consulting with executives, I realized I've been coaching all along.
Fast forward to Atelier - my passion project, and something was missing. How do I serve? How do I help others? It finally came to me last year. I noticed I was quietly coaching other business entrepreneurs. Like my corporate days, people were seeking me out, asking questions and passing my name along. And it all made sense.
Here's what came up: fellow vintage lovers who wanted to know how I find things, why I price things the way I do, or where I start when curating a collection. The truth is, I love these conversations. And more than that—I want to see more women, creatives and vintage dreamers build something of their own.
So here we are. This is the official (and long overdue) invitation:
Come know what I know.
Whether you're just starting your vintage business or you're in the middle of a messy middle—overwhelmed, under-inspired,or trying to level up—I've created two ways for us to work together:
1:1 Strategy Session — Know What I Know
One hour. You, me, a virtual table full of questions, ideas and everything you can’t quite Google your way through.
We’ll dive into exactly where you’re stuck—whether it's pricing, sourcing, branding or finding customers who get your style. I’ll give you personalized advice based on what I’ve tested, built and learned running a vintage business myself.
You’ll leave with:
-
Clarity around your next steps
-
A follow-up doc with my notes, links, and strategy ideas
-
More confidence and less spinning-your-wheels
The 3-Month Coaching Package — Built for Growth, Not Guesswork
This is for the creative who wants real momentum. Not a quick fix, not a generic course. Just honest, thoughtful, tailored support over time—so your business actually grows the way you want it to.
Together, we’ll work through the big-picture and the nitty-gritty:
– Building (or refining) your offers
– Attracting the right audience
– Pricing and sourcing with confidence
– Turning your brand into a business that lasts
What’s included:
1 private call per month (60 minutes)
Ongoing access to me between sessions for questions, feedback, and pep talks
Recaps after each session so you’re never left wondering “Wait, what did we decide?”
Tools, templates and honest feedback from someone who’s built it from scratch
This is intentional coaching for vintage resellers, small shopkeepers, interior stylists, brocante lovers and creative entrepreneurs who are ready to stop guessing.
Are you wondering if this is for you?
→ You’re dreaming about starting a vintage business and need a roadmap
→ You’ve already launched but feel scattered, unsure, or stuck in a loop
→ You want to curate with confidence and stop second-guessing your prices, branding or audience
→ You’ve got the vision—now you need the systems and support
If you’re overwhelmed by all the options, unsure how to grow or just want someone to help you cut through the noise—this is for you.
I want to share with you the WHY behind these offerings:
Because creative entrepreneurship is hard enough without trying to do it all alone.
Because you don’t need another course that gathers dust.
And because no one talks enough about how lonely it can feel trying to build something meaningful and profitable.
I’m not here to tell you what you “should” do. I’m here to help you figure out what works for you—your life, your brand and your version of success.
If you are interested, lets start the conversation.
