Coaching & Counselling For Stressed Australian Business Owners
Resilience - Is Your Business Stress Taking Over Your Life?
Running a small to medium sized business in Australia in today’s world comes with unique challenges and immense pressure. It’s challenging to maintian resilience, so your wellbeing can end up taking a backseat. You are still performing in your business, but the strain is starting to show.
- You wake up with a racing mind and a heavy chest.
- You’re snapping at loved ones, avoiding decisions, and losing sleep.
- The business you built with passion now feels heavier than it should.
If this sounds familiar, you are not alone and you don’t have to keep pushing through.
We provide confidential, professional support designed specifically for business owners and entrepreneurs—by people who understand the pressure of payroll, deadlines, and leadership.
Imagine Feeling Clear, Calm and in Control Again
Right now, it might feel like you’re stuck in a fog—where every decision feels heavy, every conversation feels strained, and every morning starts with apprehension. You’re constantly juggling responsibilities, but nothing feels truly “done.” The pressure is relentless, and the joy you once felt in your business seems like a distant memory.
But what if things could be different?
What if you could:
- Wake up with clarity and confidence
Instead of waking with a racing mind, you start your day grounded—knowing what matters most and feeling capable of handling it. - Make decisions without second-guessing yourself
You trust your instincts again. You stop overthinking and start leading with calm conviction. - Feel present with your family and proud of your work again
You reconnect with the people who matter most. You laugh more. You feel proud of what you’ve built—not just the business, but the life around it.
Feel in control of your emotions and business again – Reach out and we can support you with strategies.
Client Review....
I had the great privilege of working with this wonderful woman over the period of a number of months. Maria gently guided me to places I didn’t know I needed to visit in my personal life, which was necessary to unlock success in other areas of my life.
Maria holds space for her clients with understanding, love, and a big dash of common sense. Her unique processes and experiences help you to reflect and dig deeper on an intellectual, emotional and spiritual level.
Her greatest power is in helping you not only unearth but ‘believe’ in your power.
I have no hesitation in recommending Maria to anyone who wants to move forward in their life but isn’t sure of the steps to do that.
Maria’s guidance is that practical piece of your puzzle you may be missing.
Catch Burnout Before it Takes Over Your Business and Life
As a business owner, you’re used to pushing through. You wear multiple hats, make tough calls, and carry the weight of your team, your clients, and your bottom line. But when stress starts creeping into every corner of your life—your decisions, your relationships, your health—it’s no longer just “part of the job.”
If you’re running a small or medium-sized business in Australia and you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s time to pause and seek support:
- Growing fatigue or irritability
You’re getting close to running on empty. Small setbacks are feeling like a kick in the guts, and your getting shorter and impatient—with staff, clients, and even family. - Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
The clarity you once had is buried under mental clutter, you find yourself staring at your screen, avoiding emails, or second-guessing yourself. - Withdrawal from your team or loved ones
You’re pulling back—not because you don’t care, but because you feel emotionally spent. Meetings feel draining. Conversations feel forced. - Feeling stuck and unsure
You question your leadership. The passion that once drove you now feels like pressure. - Physical symptoms like headaches, chest tightness, or poor sleep
Your body is keeping score. No amount of coffee or “pushing through” can fix this.
These aren’t just signs of a busy season. They’re signals that your mental wellbeing is under strain—and that it’s time to step back, breathe, and get support.
When you’re the one holding the business together, your wellbeing isn’t optional. It’s foundational.
You’re not in crisis—but you know pushing through isn’t working anymore. That’s where we come in.
