WORK WITH ME

I help established businesses untangle themselves from harmful practices and conditioning, and re-shaping their existing marketing strategies into something more sustainable and ethical.

I offer 90 minute business consultation sessions ($200) where you can pick my brain about your biggest business and marketing challenges. This is great for any business of any size, regardless of whether or not you’re already established or just starting out.

I WOULD LIKE TO WORK WITH YOU IF...
  • You’ve been in business for at least two years and have an established client base.
  • You have worked with at least one business coach and were dissatisfied.
  • You are unhappy with the way you’ve been taught to market yourself.
  • You’re tired of hustling so much and you want to learn how to slow down.
  • You have an established marketing/business plan but aren’t sure where to start to make it more ethical.
  • You’ve recently completed a trauma-informed coaching training and want guidance on implementation.
  • You’re looking for business advice from an established marketing professional, rather than a coach.

I work a full-time job in marketing, so I don’t have a lot of bandwidth to do your strategy and marketing plan for you, which is why I’m mainly interested in helping people who already have an established business and strategy and want to peel away some of the ick from their traditional marketing and business practices.

YOU MIGHT LIKE TO WORK WITH ME FOR...
  • A mission-driven, client-first philosophy.
  • Conscious branding and alignment.
  • Slow, sustainable growth that won’t burn you out.
  • Customized marketing strategy for your specific goals.
  • Trauma-informed content and sales processes.
  • Socially conscious business models and best practices.

Learn why these things are important for yourself and your clients.

If you already have an established brand, business, or marketing plan, we can take a look at what you’ve got going and come up with a strategy to make it more ethical and trauma-informed.

I'M NOT FOR YOU IF...
  • Your main goal is to grow your business – not because I don’t believe in growing business, it’s just that my main interest right now is helping people who want to pivot to ethical, slow growth rather than people who are just starting out.
  • Your business is brand new or early stage and you don’t already have a solid marketing strategy in place.
  • You’re looking for a business coach.
  • You’re looking to get rich quick.
  • Manifesting your desires is more important than helping your clients.
  • You’re not ready to examine the ways oppressive social structures manifest themselves in your business.

If you’re in a startup stage (your business is younger than two years or you don’t currently have an established marketing plan) you can still book a 90 minute business consultation with me to ask questions and get some foundational advice on where to start or to bring me what you’re planning to do and get feedback.

My ethical entrepreneurship course is an excellent starting point for both established and startup businesses. Click here to learn more.

DO YOU NEED A COACH OR A CONSULTANT?

I am not a business coach. I do not have a coaching program. I am an industry professional with 15+ years experience and I offer my expertise and assistance to help you overcome a particular challenge or solve a business problem. I do deep dives into your business’s existing goals, processes, and structures to provide you with possibilities, answers, or options for improvement, along with implementation instructions. I work best with clients who are looking for solutions that they would not be able to arrive on their own.

Do you need a coach, a consultant, or should you hire a freelancer instead? This guide will help you figure out the best option for you.

BUSINESS AUDIT

Does your business reflect ethical and/or trauma-informed best practices?

$500

This is for you if you’re looking to make your business practices and content more ethical or trauma mindful but aren’t sure where to start, or you’ve done some work already and would like feedback about how it’s going. This is great for anyone who has done a trauma-informed coach training program and is ready to implement a trauma-informed framework throughout their business. This service entails the following:

  • Discovery call to learn about your business and goals.
  • Deep dive review and analysis of written content on website, sales materials, course content, and social media
  • Review and analysis of pricing structure, sales process, and business model
  • 1:1 call to review resulting recommendations + documentation of recommendations

I am not a business coach, I am a consultant.

My expertise is not pigeon-holed to a single industry. I have actually worked for real marketing, branding, and advertising agencies.

Your business and marketing strategy should be tailored to your individual goals, not based on a pre-determined template – which is why I do not offer over-priced, cookie-cutter programs that teach you basic marketing tactics you can learn on Google, or foster a sense of dependency that keeps you forking over your hard-earned dollars.

You will experience no pressure to sign up for anything. Ever. You pay me a flat fee for my time and expertise. That’s it!

Ebook titled Red Flags Checklist, a comprehensive guide to toxic marketing, written and curated by Ash Riley

RED FLAGS CHECKLIST

A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO TOXIC MARKETING

Marketing, advertising, and public relations as we know it today was designed with the intention of using psychological manipulation as a means of serving capitalist interests. In this free ebook, I lay out a number of unethical and emotionally manipulative marketing strategies and tactics that are prominent in the coaching industry (and others) so that would-be clients can identify them, and well-meaning coaches can steer clear of incorporating them into their own marketing strategies.
