The Founder’s Dilemma
If you’re a founder or entrepreneur, there’s a good chance you’re the first in, the last out, and the one everyone turns to when things go wrong. On this journey to building a successful company, there are many factors outside your control . But as a leader, there is one thing you CAN control – and that is how you personally prepare yourself to respond to the challenges that inevitably arise along the way.
How can you train yourself to “fail fast” & pivot when things don’t always go your way?
How can you identify your own personal blind spots & turn your adversities into assets?
How do you prepare yourself mentally to not just survive, but thrive, on this journey to building a successful company?
Become an Aligned Founder
The Aligned Founder program is designed to help entrepreneurs do the inner work needed to become a strong & successful leader.
We help founders identify their hidden weak points & limiting beliefs that are affecting their company’s growth & preventing them from showing up as their most capable selves.
By working through challenges or triggers from the past which have unconsciously held back, we help founders write a new story, while feeling more seen & supported on this challenging road to achieving success.
“My business is always the pure reflection of me as a person. I think there’s nothing more valuable as a founder to work on myself . Consciously or subconsciously this will reflect in all of my organization”

Embodied Coaching – Our Unique Method
The Aligned Founder program combines the power of mind-based coaching insights with body-based techniques for integration. We use a technique “Breath Repatterning” that allows us to change the function of the breath & the nervous system. This can create deep, lasting change in the subconscious mind, & greater harmony between the brain & body.
It allows founders to show up differently in critical moments everyday – so they can lead confidently, perform at their best & achieve meaningful success in a balanced & regulated way.
How The Program Works
- We work alongside founders over a period of 12-24 weeks.
- We set intentions & outcomes for the time together.
- On a typical day of a session, we begin with a 90 minute Coaching session.
- We use mind-based & subconscious exercises to tap into the root of your challenges. This allows you to understand your patterns & limiting thoughts, similar to traditional coaching.
The unique twist:
- Within 24hours of that coaching session, we continue the work with a 2 hour in-person Connected Breathwork session.
- Our two practitioners co-ordinate to create this Breathwork session for optimal results, based on the insights from the previous coaching.
- By intentionally using the power of body-based breathwork, it allows us to take these already powerful insights & integrate them in the body.
- We can move from simply cognitively understand things in the mind – to already processing them & thus being able to change the pattern right away.
This allows for rapid completion of old behaviours & thought processes – giving clients the ability to quickly move forward in a new, more aligned way.
“I did yoga & meditation before – this is a whole new combination.
I realised I don’t need to always be 100% liked by everyone. I’m now setting more boundaries and being ok to make decisions that not everyone likes. It’s been extremely helpful the past year & I’m more than happy with the decisions I’ve made.”
