Chaos to Calm

Business ‘therapy’ for founders of outdoor & wellbeing businesses.

Ready to get back in control?

Hey, I’m Rachel

After a decade of working in collaboration with start ups & small businesses I know that:

  • Founder life can be lonely

  • Digital Marketing can be stressful

  • It’s hard to find time to work ON not IN your business

Let me take you from chaos to calm.

I work directly with founders of outdoor, adventure and wellbeing businesses, taking them out of overwhelm and getting them back in control of their business (and life!)

HERE’S WHAT I DO:

  • I’ll take your chaotic thoughts and get you to a place of calm with clear goals and actions to help you stay on top of everything moving forward

  • I can update, refine, edit, streamline and tweak your Squarespace website. Or build you a new one. And train you how to do all of the above yourself (contact me if you use a different website builder)

  • Not sure if you have a consistent brand? Or ready for a refresh? I can help you figure it all out!

  • Better at belaying than writing? Let me get the words for your website, monthly customer emails, leaflets etc sorted for you.

  • With a decade of experience across digital marketing, I have a skillset that crosses community management, strategy, copy and project management. Email me about your project

The Branding Deep Dive - marketing package

    This is designed to focus on building the foundations of the brand, getting clarity on the why and how that will translate clearly into a visual language, tone of voice and, eventually, storytelling for marketing/comms.

    Why do you need it? Get aligned, destress and make decisions in one swoop of clarity. I’ll make everything easier, from briefing a designer & getting more from the budget you invest in design, help make your offer clearer to your customers and make your marketing decisions easier!

FAQs

  • You’re my dream client then! I love working with business owners who are the self confessed clueless, lost & overwhelmed by digital.

    You’re good at the service you offer and you’re probably working solo so it’s totally fine that this has fallen by the wayside.

    Let’s jump on a short chemistry call first to see that we’re a good match.

  • Yes I do. This website is built to target my niche but I can bring my expertise to other businesses & different industries when they need support.

    Get in touch to start the ball rolling.

  • Yes, for the One Weekerpackage. As a freelancer myself I know that managing cashflow can be tricky business.

    I request payment in advance so we’ll split the payment into manageable chunks with the final payment due by the date we complete our work together.

    We can talk it through during our Discovery Call.

    For my Mentor and Accountability bundles, payment in full is required before we begin but I’m happy to be flexible on instalments if that would help you. Just get in touch

  • No problem! Send me an email with where you’re at and what you need.

    If I can help, we’ll have a chemistry call to talk through the options and get you booked in.

    If I can’t help I’ll try my best to signpost you to someone rad who can.

  • Chemistry call

    A ~15 min chat to make sure that my services, your needs and our personalities are well matched.

    Discovery call

    A longer call is built into each of my packages. This is where we’ll figure out what you need and set out what we’ll achieve together.

    For One Weeker bookings, I’ll research your business and supply a custom questionnaire ahead of the Discovery Call to ensure we really cover EVERYTHING.

  • What you’re asking for is a ‘Power Hour’.

    Drop me an email at rachel@thetoucancollective.com with some info about what you’re trying to achieve and we can get that booked in.

  • Noooo, sorry!

    Fret not though as all of my packages will support you with time management, organisation and always being on the front foot with your digital marketing. You got this!

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

  • I've come away feeling inspired, understood and genuinely cared for. Rachel has all the qualities of a good mentor; she listens well, she's motivating, and she really understands the pain points of a business and makes you feel very at ease.

    Laura Batten

  • Rachel is very intelligent and very knowledgeable on all things marketing, has great listening skills; a really bubbly energy and enthusiasm for getting the right message across the right way! Came away feeling inspired and focus.

    Josephine Roulet

  • Working with Rachel has been amazing, she's very supportive, listens and understood my needs quickly.

    Harriet Macmillan

  • I was feeling stuck around marketing a new area of my business. Rachel held space while I explained my feelings around it, picking up instantly on how much pressure I was putting on myself. Just by pointing this out (with kindness), she helped me shift my mindset. We also created strategic content pillars for my social media plan, so I'm ready to start moving forward with more confidence.

    Carrie, Coach & Fundraising Consultant

  • I recently had a 'One Day Wonder' with Rachel where she helped me gain clarity in my WHY and made it easy to implement suggestions which created a lot more ease and spaciousness in both my mind and my business. The next week, I had two new bookings and two new leads...
