embodied business mentoring for women entrepreneurs

a softer, sacred approach

Reclaim your time, prioritise your pleasure, and step into your power so you can do your soul's work in the world without abandoning yourself.

You’re a powerful, creative soul.

You’re woman on the path of wisdom and heart, here to steward more sanity and humanity into the world through your business.

You're quietly revolutionary. You couldn't settle for the version of life conventional society offered to you. Your sensitivity made it impossible to thrive in work contexts built from extraction and requiring performance, so you walked through fire to set yourself free and create a softer life that's truly your own.

You're radically ambitious: you want success that's joy-led, peace-filled and ethically aligned. You're here to make a powerful impact through your soul's work and create reliable, abundant income doing what you love.

You didn’t leave the corporate grind, just to recreate it in your business.

Yet here you are.

Now inside your own business, but working harder than ever, feeling overwhelmed, saying yes when you mean no, and wondering why success feels like self-abandonment and burnout all over again.

That’s where I come in

Mainstream culture taught you that success requires suffering. Your previous career required you to overwork and over-perform in order to gain respect. And underneath all that, good girl conditioning trained you to override your own intuitions, push past your limits and perform perfection in order to feel safe.

So, it’s very natural that you’ve carried these patterns with you into your own business, and find yourself still over-working and over-giving, even though you’re the boss.

You’re too ambitious to quit on your dreams but you’re longer prepared to sacrifice your well-being. You want a gentler, more spacious path to success.

I help women like you break free from the patterns that are sneakily sabotaging your prosperity and your peace, so you can finally create a business that feels soft and sustainable.

Erika Chalkley, Buddhist-informed coach helping women entrepreneurs overcome good girl conditioning and burnout

Hi, I’m Erika Chalkley.

I’m Buddhist-trained embodiment coach and business mentor for quietly revolutionary women. 

I learnt the hard way that 'business as usual' doesn't work for women like us. 

We're not here to follow formulas that force us to abandon or override parts of ourselves, we're no longer prepared to sacrifice our wellbeing or integrity on the alter of 'success'.  

We don't want to be 'boss babes', but we're not about to quiet quit on our big ambitions either. We're here embody a new way. 

To become wise women, and build businesses of deep wisdom. 

The way of the wise woman is all the things you've been told cannot co-exist: Tender and tenacious. Boundaried and generous. Restful and productive. Rooted and reaching. Ambitious and unhurried. Cyclical and consistent. Spiritual and strategic. Profitable and peace-filled. 

And a wise business is both soft and sustainably successful. 

You already know this way, you've just never given permission to create from your own wisdom. This is your permission slip!

Here’s how we’ll do it differently,

together

    • You're highly sensitive, introverted, or neurodivergent - and you're done trying to succeed in ways that weren't built for you.

    • You're an ambitious, sensitive woman who's built a business that looks successful from the outside but feels exhausting in your body.

    • You're a former high-achiever turned soul-led entrepreneur, and you're done depleting yourself in the name of growth. You're looking for a more gentle path to success.

    • Entrepreneurship is a part of your spiritual journey. You're on a longer path to freedom and self-actualisation, and long for business guidance that honours that depth, not another productivity framework or shallow strategy.

  • We'll unweave the good girl conditioning and inner hustle patterns keeping you trapped in over-functioning and self-abandonment.

    You'll create a business that deeply nourishes you - financially, creatively, relationally, spiritually.

  • Through Buddhist-informed business practice, somatic and embodiment coaching, and a fierce feminist lens, you'll learn to:

    • trust your body's wisdom over borrowed blueprints

    • re-align with your natural rhythms

    • create joyfully

    Your business abundance will grow from presence and pleasure, instead of pressure or performance.

    • Your body softens.

    • Your life becomes spacious.

    • Your creativity returns.

    • You have more fun.

    • Your income grows without the grind.

    • And you become living proof that gentle women can build sustainable, soul-nourishing success.

  • There is so much wisdom in Erika’s teaching that is very rare to find in business coaching courses

    “A very valuable thing I have taken from this course is the realisation that my embodied experience is the most important element of success, and that I can therefore start to experience the success I want right now, regardless of where my business is at. So empowering! There is so much wisdom in Erika’s teaching that is very rare to find in business coaching courses. If you’ve been exhausting yourself trying to achieve results in your business and you’ve still not arrived at the outcomes you’re looking for, you may just find the answers are buried within your own body.”

  • It was a game-changer for me.

    “Infinite thanks for this, it was a game changer for me as a woman. It helped me stop comparing and have clear vision about my offering. The course really helped me see things in a different way and to make peace with some of my perfectionist demons. I was actually able to enjoy the present more! If you are looking for support and inner work to find your way to develop and realise your business dreams, this is not only a course, it is a space for co-creation, building relationships and collaboration, which are all very important in the realisation of your projects.”

  • The course helped me change my perspective and narrative - right after the course I invited people to an offering.

    “Thank you Erika for this course and your guidance. Your wisdom is gold! The course helped me change my perspective and narrative - right after the course I invited people to an offering, and I’m eager to put out more invitations! I feel comfortable to take the next steps in my business. To anyone considering a course with Erika, you’ll learn about some spells that our culture is under and how to liberate yourself so you have the freedom to be YOU. Erika is an experienced and inspiring guide on this journey, who knows the territory well. This journey is very impactful and helps you not just with your business but also your personal life. So valuable!”

  • A beautiful and nourishing reminder that the only ‘right’ way to do anything is the way that works for me”

    “I’m ending Erika’s course feeling more resourced and more connected to the soul of my work. As an entrepreneur, you face so many options and opinions - it can be exhausting and overwhelming. This course was a beautiful and nourishing reminder that the only ‘right’ way to do anything is the way that works for me.”

  • I am kinder and less judgemental of myself.

    “Since doing this course, I feel more lighthearted and have a sense of my own potential for enjoying life. I feel more aware of what doesn’t and does bring me joy, and am kinder and less judgemental of myself. I can see where I am unfulfilled in some areas of my life and have more awareness of my needs.”
