Join me for a 12-month transformative journey, alongside other women business owners, towards business success, as defined by you, while nurturing your personal wellbeing.

Let's get your business flourishing!
Is The Orchard the right fit for you?
The Orchard is for you if you know you need to work on your business, not just in it, but you're not quite sure where to start. You're not in a rush, but you don't want to waste your time and energy spinning your wheels without getting anywhere. You're ready to focus your effort on the right things to cultivate the life and business you dream of.
If you are...
-
A passionate business owner ready for growth
You’ve launched your business and have big dreams, but need help turning that into clear steps and sustainable success. You’re ready for some support to turn your vision into reality.
-
Feeling pulled in too many directions
You’re juggling a bunch of responsibilities and tasks and feeling stretched too thin. You’re looking for a clear path to focus your efforts, get results, and enjoy a sense of balance in your life
-
A solo business owner craving community
You’re seeking a mentor who understands the real-life challenges of running a business. You want a community of like-minded women who can offer support, share experiences, and celebrate successes together.
-
Established in your business, and ready for a new level of success
Your business is steady, but you’re craving a fresh perspective and new strategies to take it to the next level. You’re keen for the tools and support to help you achieve your next set of goals
-
Excited about your business but suss on capitalism
You love your business but can’t help side-eyeing the capitalist push for growth at any cost. You want to succeed in a way that's ethical, balanced, and in tune with your values.
... then this is for you!
The Orchard will give you the guidance, tools, support, encouragement and accountability to create a sense of balance and flow in your business as you define your own version of success, and bringing it to life.
By the end of your 12 months in The Orchard you will have:
-
Clarified your vision and values in life and business and know what success means to you
-
Identified the seasons in your business and life and cultivated ebb and flow for overall balance
-
Set goals, defined the steps to get there, and actually achieved them (AND know how to do it all again!)
-
Determined what to focus on (and what not to) each day, week, month and season of your business
-
Explored different areas of your business, making adjustments as needed to bring your vision to life
-
Said buh-bye to burnout and found ways to thrive in yourself as well as in your business
-
Become aware of your limiting beliefs and how to move beyond them
-
Established systems to support the easy flow of your business
-
Learned how to rinse and repeat all of the above
-
Made friends who really get what you're doing and are there to cheer you on
Does any of this sound familiar?
-
You want a life of balance - where your business is thriving and so are you.
-
Your business has so much potential, but you're just not sure how to take it there
-
You set goals but life and business get in the way and they fall by the wayside
-
You want a profitable business without having to drink capitalism's kool-aid
-
You've read the books, listened to the podcasts, saved the reels and done the workshops, but haven't quite landed on an approach that feels great for you
-
You love the idea of nurturing yourself and your business at the same time
-
You can feel a bit isolated running your business solo, and you'd love some connection and cameraderie along the way
I get it, really.
I've been running my business, Eve Studio, for over ten years, and prior to that I led a not-for-profit organisation for more than a decade. I've also worked within larger organisations overseeing many projects, budgets and staff.
I've burnt out (twice!), resolved never to let that happen again, and found ways to prioritise my wellbeing and cultivate balance while still growing my business.
I'd love to support you to find that balance for yourself.
"Annie has an incredible (and rare) ability to hold space with generosity of spirit, humility, active listening and genuine love. She is a smart business woman and a natural mentor. She has a leadership style that is very rare and very needed in this world. Maybe it's the perfect balance between masculine and feminine."
"Annie asks good questions, gently probing to help you see your blind spots and find your way forward. She has a way of bringing out the best in people. Her belief in me has really helped me to believe in myself."
"Annie has the ability to see the big picture, and all of the smaller details at once. She knows how to take a goal and break it down into each step to get there."
Here's what you get in The Orchard...
Monthly Modules
On-demand
Every month you'll gain access to a new module including pre-recorded videos you can watch when it suits you, along with extra resources to help you integrate it all into your life and business.
2 x 1:1 sessions
with me
Our first 1:1 session is within the first month of the program, so I can really get a sense of where you're at and how I can support you.
Your second session can be scheduled when you want it - any time within the 12 months.
Live Online Sessions
Monthly live online sessions to connect with a small group other business owners, share where you're at and get what you need - whether it's encouragement, problem-solving, a sounding-board or a cheersquad.
2 x Weekend Retreats
These deep-dive weekends are an opportunity to retreat from everyday life to really focus on you and your biz.
Enjoy nourishing food, great company, beautiful natural surrounds and guided sessions to really move your business forward.
These in-person retreats are located in Trentham, just an hour's drive out of Melbourne. Everything is included. You just need to get yourself there.
Co-working
There's nothing like a bit of postiive peer-group pressure to really get stuff done. These monthly two-hour sessions will start by briefly sharing what we're focusing on, and then it's heads down. A quick refresher stretch break in the middle before the last hour of power.
Whatsapp Group
We'll stay connected for support, questions and sharing of resources through our private Whatsapp group
The Curriculum
This program is organised in seasons, taking cues from nature throughout the year.
Each month I'll guide you in tending to a different area of your business, while maintaining space to work with opportunities and challenges as they arise for you in real time.
Winter - Spring
This season is all about tuning in and getting clear on where you're at and where you want to go.
As you clarify what matters to you in your life and your business, you'll create a filter to help you make decisions on where to invest your time, energy and money going forward.
You'll create a clear snapshot of your business as it is right now, illuminating what's working for you and what's not.
By the end of our retreat in October, you'll have a set of goals for the year ahead, each one aligned with your overall vision and definition of success, and harmonious with this season of your life. Each goal will have defined progress indicators, and clear first steps. AND you’ll have a system in place for tracking your progress, reviewing and refining your goals along the way.
Summer
It's time to play! We'll bring different areas of your business into the sunlight, see how they're doing, and get them as healthy as possible.
We'll look at money matters, marketing and storytelling, and the people piece in your business, making tweaks (or major changes) where they make sense to you. I'll offer tools and techniques to support you with these.
Your business is here to do something good: good for you, good for others and good for the world. We'll dive into what this means for you and how you can really lean into making a positive impact.
Autumn
As the trees change colour and begin to shed, you'll have space to reflect on what you need to let go of.
We'll look at limiting beliefs, fear of failure, fear of success, procrastination, perfectionism and comparison.
I'll hold space for you to examine each of these areas and how they present in your life and business, and offer tools, techniques and practices to help you move beyond them.
Winter
Returning to winter, you'll look at the systems and structures within your business, and any adjustments they need to support you going forward. By now, you will be in the habit of working on your business, not just in it, and now you can consider what the extra efficiency brings you - perhaps space for new adventures... or just space itself.
Reflecting and celebrating all that you've done, you'll be ready to take the learning and growth from our time together, and look to the future. We'll check in, to make sure your vision still inspires you, and using everthing you've learned, set new goals for the year/s ahead.
