Thanks so much for your interest in CALMM. I'd love to work with you.

Rather than a fancy landing page, I've put everything together here in plain English.

The outcome is simple: turn your founder-dependent business into one that can scale to 50k+ months with clear finances, operations that work and a team that delivers without you.

I've called this programme CALMM because that's what we're building: capacity, alignment, leverage, mastery and momentum. A business that works calmly. One you can easy control and scale.

We're going to solve the 3 big problems that keep service businesses stuck at 20-30k months.


Problem 1: You're trapped doing all the work

Whether you're stacked with client delivery and emotionally exhausted, or you have a team that can't operate without you, it's not obvious how to scale without just adding more chaos.

The Answer: Create capacity and build systems that work without you

We'll start by freeing up your time: getting you at least half a day every week where you can think strategically instead of just surviving. We'll look at where your time actually goes, what's draining you and what needs to change.

Next, we'll get clear on your numbers. Not surface-level revenue, but real profit analysis: what clients are profitable, where money's going, what your model can actually sustain. This clarity changes everything.

Then we'll build the systems. We'll structure your team properly so they can deliver without constant input. We'll systematise delivery so quality stays high. We'll create operations that run smoothly whether you're there or not.

The result: you'll be free to lead the business instead of doing everything in it.

Problem 2: You're guessing at what will actually grow the business

Most founders spend months trying things that don't work: hiring the wrong roles, building the wrong systems, investing in marketing that doesn't match their model. They're guessing and it's costing them time and money they can't afford to waste.

Answer: Get CFO-level insight on what's actually driving profit

We start with your finances. We sit down together and actually do the work: P&L analysis, forecasting, profit planning. You'll understand exactly what's profitable, what you can afford and what growth your model can sustain.

Next, we'll focus you on what genuinely works. We'll identify your most profitable clients and offers. We'll sharpen your positioning so ideal clients understand what you do and why you're different. We'll build proof that makes selling easier.

Then we'll install growth systems: marketing and sales that bring clients in consistently, not just through referrals. A pipeline that fills predictably. Business development time that's protected, not squeezed in.

The result: you'll make decisions based on data, not guesses. And growth will become systematic, not random.

Problem 3: Revenue looks good but it never translates to profit or stability

You're working incredibly hard, hitting decent revenue numbers, but it never feels sustainable. One month you're at 32k, the next you're back at 24k. You don't understand why. And despite the revenue, profit never materialises how you hope it would.

Answer: Build financial clarity and operational structure

We'll show you exactly where your money goes. What's eating your profit. What costs should look like at different revenue levels. How to pay yourself properly without putting the business at risk.

Next, we'll restructure your operations so the business runs efficiently. We'll eliminate what's draining resources. We'll build delivery models that protect profit. We'll create team structures that make the costs work.

Then we'll install rhythms that create stability: quarterly planning, weekly check-ins, monthly reviews. Systems that keep you on track even when things get busy.

The result: revenue that actually translates to profit and peace of mind. A business that feels stable, not like a rollercoaster.


The end result is that you have a business that can scale to 50k+ months with clear finances, operations that work and the capacity to actually lead instead of constantly firefighting.


Here's how we'll work together to make this happen:

The System:

We'll work together for 6 months. You'll move through the 5 phases of CALMM systematically: Capacity, Alignment, Leverage, Mastery, Momentum. Each phase builds on the last so you're making the right shifts in the right order.

You’ll see immediate capacity freed up in the first month, financial clarity comes fast once we dig into the numbers but real operational transformation takes time. Our goal by the end of 6 months is that you have the systems, structure and financial foundation to scale sustainably to 50k+ months.

The Support:

CALMM is designed to give you hands-on support. Not just frameworks to figure out yourself.

From day one, you'll have strategic brains applied directly to your business to guide you, keep you accountable and make sure you actually make progress.

A Business Deep Dive & Custom Roadmap. We uncover what's blocking you and create your personalised 6-phase roadmap.

Regular 1:1 Strategy Calls. Direct support to review progress, unstick what's blocked, and plan your next moves.

Done-With-You Finance Work. We sit down together and actually do your financial work - forecasts, profit analysis, cashflow planning.

Expert Implementation Support. Specialists in finance, operations, marketing and leadership help when you're stuck.

On-Demand Training Library. Access our signature curriculum, designed to walk you through key areas of your business transformation, including templates, tools, AI packs - everything you and your team need.

The Founder Room. Small group of founders going through this together - ask questions, share wins, get support.

Weekly Accountability. Weekly check-ins that keep you moving forward, not stuck in the same place months from now.

CALMM is built to make sure whenever you hit a question or a sticking point, there's always expertise there to guide you through it. The level of support is intentionally high.


The requirements

This is not your first rodeo. You've built a real business and you're consistently at 20-35k months. You have paying clients and proven demand.

You have a small team or are ready to build one. Whether that's 1-3 people already or you're about to hire, you need support to scale beyond just you.

You're ready to face your numbers honestly. We'll be looking at your actual finances, not hiding from them. If you're not willing to get clear on profit, costs and what's really happening financially, this isn't the right fit.

You'll make tough calls. About clients you need to let go. Team members who aren't working out. Offers that need to be cut. Prices that need to increase. This requires courage and commitment.

You want to build sustainably, not burn out. If you're looking for hustle tactics or overnight transformations, this isn't it. We're building for the long term.

The above criteria ensure you're ready for operational transformation. If you're still figuring out your business model or you're under 20k months consistently, you need foundation work first. DM me and I'll tell you what I think you need instead.


What's this going to cost?

The investment is £9,000 (or 6 monthly payments of £1,650).

This includes:

  • 6 months of support

  • Business deep dive analysis & roadmap

  • Done-with-you finance work

  • Monthly 1:1 review calls

  • Weekly coaching calls

  • Expert implementation support

  • Our full vault of bespoke training and resources

  • Access to The Founder Room

That's less than one month at your current revenue. And it's what gets you to sustainable 50k months.

Assuming you're at 20-30k months now, our goal is for you to have the capacity, clarity and systems in place to scale to 50k+ within 6-12 months of finishing the programme. Although, please note, some founders hit this target before even finishing the 6 months together.


OK so how do I join CALMM?

We bring 2 new founders a month into CALMM and spots usually sell out. If you want to be considered, the first step is to apply.

Here’s how it works:

This programme works best when it’s the right fit for both of us.

I’m protective of the space and the people in it, so I look for the right mix of personality, mindset and readiness. I need to know we can genuinely help you grow and that you’ll bring the kind of energy that makes this work possible.

And you need to feel confident that the way we work, and what CALMM offers, matches what you actually need right now.

If you’re ready to explore that, the next step is to apply.

Step 1: Complete the application

Tell us about your business, your goals and where you’re at right now. Be honest and detailed - this helps us get a real sense of whether CALMM is the right next step for you.

Step 2: I’ll record you a personal video reply

I’ll look over your application and send you a video sharing my honest thoughts on fit. 

I’ve worked with over 200 founders over the past 3 years, and I’ve got a good sense of who this programme really works for and who might need something different.

If I think we can help, we’ll offer you a place and schedule your Business Deep Dive to get you started. And if it’s not a fit, I’ll usually have a suggestion for what might be a better fit.

This is the work I've developed through years of studying what actually breaks founders through growth plateaus. If you're ready to stop guessing and start building a business that scales sustainably, I'd love to support you.

Let’s find out if CALMM is the right next step.

APPLY NOW

Guarantee

Before joining, we'll do our best to both feel confident CALMM is the right fit.

After your first month, if you genuinely feel CALMM isn't right for you, we'll have an honest conversation. I have no desire to keep you in the programme if it's not working.

However, I want to be clear: this work requires commitment. The founders who get results are the ones who show up, do the work and push through discomfort. If you're not willing to commit to 6 months of focused execution, this isn't the right programme for you.

"Having someone with that financial background has been really valuable because I think a lot of coaches don't really get into the numbers in the same way. And the amount of tools, templates and resources that you get is incredible. I've now got this whole suite of shortcuts I can use.

“I saw ROI multiple times over in the 1st couple of months after Thea helped me see my contracts and pricing differently. I’d choose her all day long.”

Frequently Asked Questions

  • CALMM is a 6-month strategic growth programme for service-based founders stuck at 20-35k months who are ready to scale to 50k+ without burning out.

    We install five deliberate shifts into how your business operates: Capacity (reclaim time and mental space), Alignment (get clear on direction), Leverage (double down on what works), Mastery (systemise delivery), and Momentum (build sustainable growth rhythms).

    You get the roadmap, the tools, expert guidance across finance/operations/marketing, weekly accountability and regular 1:1 sessions.

  • Most coaches look at revenue and tell you to do more marketing. Or maybe that your mindset needs work. I look at your P&L and operations and identify the systemic issues stopping you from scaling profitably.

    I bring CFO-level financial rigour from over a decade scaling high-growth startups, combined with lived founder experience from building multiple businesses myself.

    But the bigger difference is the structure. This isn't weekly calls where we talk about whatever's on your mind. You get a complete curriculum built around the five CALMM phases, with walk-throughs that guide you step-by-step through every action, tools and templates for each stage, and specialist support when you're implementing in areas like finance, operations or marketing.

    You're never left wondering "okay, but how do I actually do this?" Everything is walked through with you, supported by people who know these domains inside out.

    And it's not fluffy mindset work or feel-good coaching sessions. It's systematic operational transformation grounded in what actually works when you're trying to extract yourself from delivery whilst protecting profit.

  • Both (and more). You get coaching on the leadership and decision-making required to scale. You also get consulting on the financial and operational structure your business needs.

    But critically, you also get implementation support. We don't just tell you what to do - we walk you through every single action step with tools, templates and expert guidance so you actually do the work instead of just knowing what you should do.

  • As I’m sure you can imagine - every business is different, so we don’t guarantee any results. However, what we can tell you is what happens for most founders we work with.

    By the end of six months, you'll have:

    • Clear visibility on your numbers and where profit is actually going

    • Time back in your calendar to think strategically instead of drowning in delivery

    • A growth engine that brings consistent leads without relying on referrals

    • Team structure that reduces founder dependency

    • Systems that protect your profit and your energy

    • The capacity to scale toward 50k+ months without chaos

    Most clients report feeling relief from overwhelm within the first few weeks. Revenue shifts take longer - usually 3-6 months to see consistent momentum.

  • The goal isn't just hitting a number - it's building the operating system that makes 50k months inevitable and sustainable.

    Some clients hit it during the programme. Others have the foundation in place and scale to it in the months after. What matters is that you've broken through the patterns keeping you stuck and built a business that can grow calmly instead of chaotically.

    If you're looking for a quick fix or guaranteed revenue outcomes, this isn't the right fit. If you want to build something that lasts, this is exactly what you need.

  • The programme is £9,000 paid upfront or £1,650/month for 6 months (£9,900 total).

    This includes everything: the full CALMM roadmap, all tools and templates, done-with-you financial analysis, monthly 1:1 strategy calls, weekly coaching calls, expert implementation support across finance/ops/marketing and access to the Founder Room.

  • Yes. You can pay monthly at £1,650/month for 6 months or pay in full at £9,000.

  • No. The programme runs for 6 months, and payment is structured to align with that timeline.

  • There are no refunds once you've started the programme. This work requires commitment from both of us, and I only work with people who are ready to see it through.

    If you're not sure you're ready to commit, that's completely fine - that just means this isn't the right time.

  • Expect 4-10 hours per week including calls, implementation work and reflection time.

    This isn't passive learning - it's active transformation. You'll be implementing systems, tracking metrics, making decisions and rebuilding how you operate. That takes time and focus.

    If you don't have that capacity right now, the first phase of CALMM is specifically designed to help you create it. But you need to be willing to protect the time to do the work.

  • Not necessarily. If you're hitting 40k+ months but it's chaotic, unsustainable or you're completely trapped in delivery, the work is the same. You still need to build the operating system that lets you scale calmly.

    Send us an application form and we'll work out if it's the right fit.

  • Probably, yes. The operational shifts we make in CALMM work best when you've already proven your business model and you're scaling from 20k+ baseline.

    If you're under 15k months, focus on getting consistent revenue first. When you've sustained 15k+ for at least 3 months and you're ready to scale systematically, come back.

  • Not necessarily. Some clients have small teams (2-5 people), others are solo with contractors.

    What matters is that you're at the stage where founder dependency is limiting growth. If clients want you specifically and you can't extract yourself from delivery, this work will help - whether that's because you need to build a team, restructure the one you have or systemise delivery so it doesn't all depend on you.

  • CALMM is currently designed for service-based businesses where the founder's expertise is the differentiator. This includes: consulting, coaching, fractional roles, agencies, professional services, creative services.

    If you sell products or run a business where founder dependency isn't the core blocker, this probably isn't the right fit.

  • We start with Capacity - reclaiming time, cash and mental bandwidth so you can think clearly again.

    You'll identify what's draining your energy, we'll review your finances together to see where money is actually going, and we'll redesign your calendar to create breathing room. You can't make good strategic decisions when you're operating from survival mode, so we create space first.

    By the end of month one, you'll feel lighter and clearer than you have in months.

  • You get a monthly 1:1 coaching call with an expert business coach to review progress, remove roadblocks and tailor the roadmap to your specific business.

    In addition to this you have access to me every week via the open coaching call. This is where you’ll also learn from other founders going through the same transition.

    Between calls, you have access to implementation support from specialists in finance, operations, and marketing who help you apply the work practically. If you get stuck, you can reach out - you won't be left guessing.

    And if all else fails, you can book additional 1:1s with me any time you need one.

    The level of support we give you inside CALMM is intentionally high. We know you don’t need advice alone at this stage - you need hands on support to shift your business.

  • No. Everything is virtual. As long as you can join video calls and you're willing to do the work between sessions, location doesn't matter.

  • Because this isn't just coaching. It's a systematic operational transformation with expert implementation support.

    You're not getting vague advice about mindset or generic frameworks. You're getting specific financial analysis of your P&L, clear visibility on what's blocking profit and step-by-step guidance on building the systems that let you scale.

    If previous coaches told you what to do but didn't help you actually do it, that's the difference here. We walk you through every single action.

  • That's exactly why structure and accountability exist. Most founders don't lack capability - they lack the operating system that makes follow-through inevitable.

    If your fear is "I won't stick with it," that's actually a sign you're self-aware enough to know you need external support. The programme is designed specifically to help you maintain focus and momentum even when it gets uncomfortable.

  • The operational patterns are remarkably consistent across service businesses. Founder dependency, referral traps, unclear pricing, delivery overwhelm - these show up everywhere.

    The tactics adapt to your model, but the strategic shifts are the same. Through the application process, we'll work out if your situation is a good fit or if there's something genuinely unique that would require a different approach.

  • Because the work we do creates space, it doesn't consume it.

    Yes, you'll invest 4-10 hours per week. But within the first month, you'll have reclaimed time by cutting what's draining you, redesigning your schedule and getting clear on where to focus.

    Most clients report feeling less overwhelmed after the first few weeks, not more - because they've stopped firefighting and started leading.

  • You'll have the operating system, the tools, and the capability to continue scaling.

    For founders who want to keep strategic expertise in their business whilst they build out their senior team, we also offer ongoing support. It makes sense to keep access to CFO-level financial thinking, operational guidance and marketing strategy until you've hired those roles yourself.

    We can discuss what ongoing support looks like toward the end of the 6 months if it makes sense for your situation.

  • Yes. Many clients choose to continue with ongoing support after the core programme, particularly if they're still building their senior team and want strategic guidance in areas like finance, operations or growth.

    The goal of the 6-month programme is that you have a business that works and the capability to lead it. Ongoing support is about keeping expertise in your corner whilst you scale, not because you still need hand-holding.
