Natalie Ryan
Natalie brings a blend of strategic mentorship, consultancy and coaching that goes beyond the session itself — including tangible deliverables like brand frameworks, commercial growth plans and business roadmaps built collaboratively and handed to you ready to use.
With over 14 years at senior strategic levels in global consumer goods, Natalie has shaped category strategies and growth plans, informing board-level decisions across international markets. She has also built and run her own businesses, and currently serves as a business director and CIC board director — bringing genuine first-hand experience of entrepreneurship alongside her corporate expertise.
She believes every founder has a story at the heart of their business — and that when that story, their strategy and their strengths are truly aligned, everything changes.
As someone navigating her own neurodivergent thinking, her training in Hypnotherapy with NLP Coaching enables her to work with both the practical and internal blocks that hold founders back.
When not working, she’s meditating, walking in the woods, writing a children’s novel, or being kept busy by three boys and an energetic dog.

Stephanie Benfield
Stephanie is an ICF-accredited Master Certified Coach, specialising in neurodiversity (particularly ADHD, autism and SpLD) with over 2500 hours of coaching experience across seven years of full-time practice.
She’s also autistic and dyspraxic, which means she brings genuine lived understanding to her work, not just professional knowledge.
Stephanie is a trauma-responsive coach who works with individuals on the full range of things neurodiversity can touch: self-confidence, stress and burnout, relationships, work, and business. Her approach is practical and evidence-informed, drawing on neuroscience and tailored frameworks, but the sessions themselves feel more like a relaxed conversation.
Clients typically come to Stephanie wanting to understand themselves better, build confidence, and figure out strategies that actually work for how their brains operate.

Schedule a free 30-minute clarity call with Holly to explore how our coaches can support you and help move your business forward.
“Hi Holly, I just wanted to thank you for your ongoing support, coaching and general loveliness. You are one of the most brilliant people I’ve worked with.”
‘I have been working with Paul for some time now and always look forward to our sessions. He shows great empathy and integrity in his approach, being both perceptive and careful in his questioning.
Through my sessions with Paul, I have gained the confidence to try new things, to change my role within my organisation and to speak out in circumstances when I would have previously stayed quiet! Paul coaches brilliantly, leading me to conclusions that have come from me and are definitely worth trying. I always feel he ‘holds’ me throughout the sessions and then ‘lets me go’ at the end to try out what we have been discussing.‘
Natalie has mentored my business for the past 3 years. It’s credit to her that my business exists as she provided me with not only the tools, techniques and strategy to build a sustainable business but also the belief in myself to do it. Together we created a vision that was bigger than I believed possible at the time but is now coming into fruition. She has literally been the driving force to get me where I am today. I highly recommend working with her to take your business goals towards a more magical reality.
“Working with Holly has been transformative. Things that had previously felt insurmountable now feel achievable and possible.”
