If you’re a UK-based infant sleep coach, feeding specialist, or early years expert building your name in the parenting space - this could be for you.

We’re building Dote: a new kind of parenting assistant designed to help parents feel calmer, more confident and reassured in the everyday moments that matter.

Not alarmist, not rigid, not generic advice.
But nuanced, evidence-informed and deeply empathetic.

Dote combines smart baby monitor AI detection, routine tracking (sleep, feeding and more), and age-appropriate guidance via an in-app assistant - signposting to external support when something is outside our remit. We’re not a medical product.

We’re building the village most modern parents don’t have.

And we’re inviting a small number of qualified UK parenting professionals to join our paid Expert Contributor Programme.

We’re looking for experts who:
• Work with babies and toddlers (0–2 years)
• Hold recognised qualifications
• Create thoughtful content for parents
• Align with gentle, responsive approaches
• Are curious about AI - not resistant to it
• Want to become a recognised voice in modern parenting

Particularly across sleep, feeding, development, health, play and parental wellbeing.

This is a 3–6 month paid partnership with clear terms (no “exposure-only” arrangements), profile visibility, backlinks, and ongoing collaboration potential. Content is non-exclusive.

Why get involved?
- Because your expertise reaches parents at the exact moment they need reassurance - inside the tools they’re already using.
- Because ethical parenting tech needs credible voices shaping it.
- Because you should be paid for the knowledge you’ve worked hard to build.

If you’re an up-and-coming expert who believes parenting support should feel compassionate, not prescriptive — we’d love to hear from you.

More details on link below (application form link on that).

Please tag anyone you know who may be interested or share.

Thanks

I'm so lucky to work with such talented women doing deeply transformational work.

Helene was integrating all her wisdom and experience and shifting from facilitating dance journeys to coaching people in a deep, embodied way.

But she couldn't quite figure out her niche and offers. In my Unique Expert Intensive, we identified her unique magic, what makes her different and cleared so many limiting blocks.

She came away with new focus and insight and reconnected with her unique voice and message.

“Working with Hils over several months has been positive and productive, with a combination of energetic clearing and practical business sessions.

Her strategic input - particularly around refining my sales page copy and layout - was very informative. Also she has created her own processes such as for client niche, which was a detailed unpacking that gave me new focus and insights.

Beyond the strategy, it was good to have Hils as a sounding board, always responding quickly to my questions. Her support helped me get out of overthinking, and reconnect with my own voice and message.

While I didn’t always agree with her suggestions, the process helped me find my own clarity and personal journey to reconnect with the deeper reasons behind my work.

Her approach is pragmatic and measured, and she keeps it real and relatable. Thank you Hils.”

You're busy doing all the 'right' marketing things (tactics) in your business.

But if you're honest, you don't really know which tactics are working (and why) and which aren't (and why).

👀 Metrics alone don't show the whole picture.
💰 Sales/revenue alone don't tell you what's working.

Without knowing which marketing tactics (email marketing, social media, events, networking, podcasting etc etc) are working and which are not, you could be wasting;
- time
- money
- energy

If you want all of those resources to bring you the biggest ROI in your service-based business, you need a 'marketing audit'.

I'm looking for 2 established service-based businesses who want to shape their strategy for 2026 around what is and isn't working.

I'm working on a new offer, a 'Marketing Audit' so would love to beta-test it with 2 businesses at HALF PRICE.

It'll be an objective assessment of what marketing you’re already doing, what’s working, what’s not and importantly why not.

I'll roadtest your current marketing and look at everything from your metrics, messaging, branding, positioning and ideal client.

My report will help you make informed decisions about what you need to change in your marketing efforts achieve your goals.

DM me the word 'AUDIT' if interested.

2 at Half price!

The Carlsberg to your Fosters. 🍺

Mindset work will only get you so far.

The energy-clearing I use reaches the parts a lot of other personal growth other modalities don’t reach - making it an absolute game-changer, for business owners.

Coaching is great for bringing conscious awareness to someone’s blocks, beliefs, thoughts etc.

But as we’re only aware of 3% of our brains (thoughts, feelings and beliefs) ie your conscious mind, that leaves 97% which is unconscious, ie you’re not aware of it. And apparently this is many many times more powerful too.

Rather than trying to make the unconscious conscious, I have found that clearing the blocks out of the energy system is an amazing, quick, gentle, and extremely effective way of accessing and clearing the things holding you back - conscious or unconscious.

In minutes we can permanently clear fears, negative thoughts, emotions, triggers, and unhelpful beliefs that are stuck on repeat, leaving you clear to take action from a completely uplevelled place.

Putting your actions in alignment with future you. 💥

Imagine what you could create if you believed without doubt that you were more than GOOD ENOUGH (to do whatever you dream of doing)?

One client said that during a process, the usual negative thought simply lost its charge and she started to defend it as ‘not true!”

Another said she "felt like I could take on the world" after we'd cleared what was causing procrastination - and weeks later had her highes revenue month!

This energy clearing shifts stuff (often stuff that’s been stuck for a long time) quickly and effectively so you can uplevel your business, like:

🔥 charge more

🔥 speak more powerfully to your ideal clients

🔥 increase your revenue

🔥 work from your gifts (not fear)

🔥 sell more effectively

🔥 and so much more

If you’re ready for that, I have something for you that’s going to blow your socks off. DM me the word UPLEVEL for details.

A story of serendipity for you.

You may think having a clear vision is pointless.
Just woo-woo, manifesting, mumbo jumbo.

But here’s what happened to me recently...

I’ve been transitioning my business to work more deeply with small businesses on meaningful marketing, not just endless posting on social platforms.

I want to work with founders who:
✨ are tired of being slaves to the algorithm
✨ want their marketing to reflect their brand values across every touchpoint
✨ want aligned, empowering ways to grow without being stuck on the social hamster wheel

Then, I had an call with someone I’d spoken to earlier this year.

The first thing she told me?
She hadn’t posted on social media in ages, and it was a relief.

AND she wants to find ways to market that are truly empowering to potential clients and sustainable for her. Squeee I'm excited 😊

She’s ready to pivot her work to bring through her deeper skills, desires and mission so she can make a bigger impact doing her soul work, while managing her energy effectively.

Which, of course, is exactly what I do in my Unique Expert Intensive.
And yes, she signed up.

✨ When you get clear on your vision/your next client/your desires, you become a magnet to the right people/things and serendipity happens.

If you’re ready to stop burning out on social media and want to explore a more soul-aligned way of growing your business that works with your capacity, DM me.

If you're ready to do your soul work, make more impact and be seen as the expert you are, or do a deep pivot, check out my deep 1-2-1 program, The Unique Expert Intensive.

I can’t be the only one who feels like this…

As I’ve been reworking my own business foundations (ideal client, niche, uniqueness etc), ONE BIG REALISATION has hit me hard:

👉 I don’t want to spend my time glued to toxic social platforms (LinkedIn aside… most of the time).�
👉 I don’t want my business growth to depend on algorithms that reward conflict, hate, or manipulation.

Because it’s not just bad for us founders.�
It’s bad for our customers too.

We’ve been quietly sold the lie that hustle, provocation, and clickbait are the only way to get attention.
But the deeper we play that game, the further we move from trust, authenticity, and real connection.

I believe the future of marketing is different.�
✨ Empathic, not manipulative.�
✨ Respectful, not toxic.�
✨ Trust-building, not tricking.

Marketing that treats customers as empowered adults.�
Marketing that builds loyalty, advocacy, and revenue in the long run.

I’m on a mission to bring the humanness back into an AI-saturated world and help brands walk their ethical, values-led talk across every touchpoint.

Who is with me? Who wants to find other ways? Who’s already experimenting with better ways to market?

👇 Let’s talk. Connect me or tag the people who should be in this conversation.

——�👋 Hi, I’m Hils – Marketing & Brand Strategist | Business Coach.�I help values-led founders clarify their strategy, elevate their positioning, and grow revenue with ethical, human-centred marketing.

Everyone loves to post quotes about failure.
👉 “Failure is feedback.”
👉 “Fail fast, fail forward.”

But let’s be real.

Most of the time, founders still carry shame when a campaign flops, a launch doesn’t land, or a strategy misses the mark.

Why? Because we’re still conditioned to think success = perfection.

🙃 Innovation is messy.

Campaigns flop.
Launches don’t land.
Strategies miss the mark.

And that’s normal.

Failure isn’t the opposite of success, it’s the process to get there!

Some things will work. Some won’t.
That’s not failure, it’s useful information!

Experimentation is a vital part of figuring stuff out.

💥 What would happen if more leaders actually showed the experiments that didn’t work - instead of pretending everything is a win?

👉 I help founders build values-led marketing strategies that give space for experimentation* so “failure” becomes progress, not shame.
* while tracking the right metrics so you actually know what's working and what's not

I’d love to know: what’s one time you “failed” that turned out to be the most valuable experiment you ran?

We had such a rich, nourishing experience yesterday honouring the autumn equinox (or Mabon) on my Root & Rise walkshop. 🍁

The attendees;
😌 discovered how to get out of the busy mind, full of worrying and negative thoughts and drop into their inner power to feel safer and more grounded - in just a couple of minutes!
🥰 networked in a relaxed, way and connected more deeply than at any other networking event
🌳 communed and conversed with a mighty oak tree
✨ stepped through a poweful, nature portal, releasing things that are holding them back and calling in something they want to take forward - as trees release their leaves so they can grow

My Root & Rise events are all about nourishing the business owner/founder, so they feel resoucrced and grounded, and can rise from an authentic, aligned place.

They are about connecting to yourself and your inner wisdom, connecting to each other (in a deeper, more natural, unforced way) and connecting to nature.

By tuning into nature's cycles, seasons and constant changes, we can feel more grounded in our own cycles, seasons and changes.

For the next one, we're getting even more witchy, at the famous Arnos Vale cemetary (Bristol) on October 30th, 10-12.

Link to book in the comments. Please tag anyone in Bristol you know that would be interested.
