FOUNDER & CEO, SEQUOIA CPA

I’m here not just to clean up your books but to help you understand them. I work with service-based founders who are ready to stop guessing and start making intentional financial decisions. As the founder of Sequoia CPA, I blend expert bookkeeping with strategic advisory support, growing with you as your business evolves. My approach is hands on, collaborative, and focused on education so you always know what is happening behind the numbers. With a CPA background and years of startup experience, I bring clarity, structure, and strategy to every client relationship. When I’m not working, you’ll find me out on a long walk, in the garden, or traveling the world with my husband.

GRAPHIC DESIGNER & WORKSHOP HOST, ARUNIMA G STUDIO

I am a graphic designer with over 10 years of experience in branding, packaging, social media design, and UI/UX. I help businesses and individuals tell their stories visually through thoughtful, playful, and pastel design styles. I create designs that resonate with audiences and bring brands to life.

Alongside design, I host unique, technique-driven hobby workshops that encourage creativity and mindfulness. From embroidery to macrame to mandala and other crafts, my workshops provide hands-on experiences for adults to explore and unwind. Each session is designed to inspire participants to create something beautiful while learning new skills.

SOVEREIGNTY COACH, SOVANA COACHING

I’m the founder of Sovana, a space for women to return to themselves through compassion-led coaching.

I work with women at pivotal turning points—where what once felt certain no longer fits, and a deeper truth is beginning to rise.

This is often a season of questioning everything—old beliefs, roles, and ways of living that no longer align.

Through private 1:1 coaching and intimate group spaces, I support women in meeting themselves with compassion, reconnecting with their truth, and releasing what was never theirs to carry.

The result is a deeper sense of self-trust, clarity, and the ability to move forward in a way that feels fully their own.

SOUND MEDITATION PRACTITIONER & LICENSED ESTHETICIAN OF HARMONIC GLOWING

With a background in professional esthetics, my mission is to provide luxurious tools for nervous system regulation. My work primarily focuses on facilitating curated group soundscapes for private events and wellness retreats that utilize somatic vibration and scent to trigger a profound relaxation response. To complement these journeys, I offer individualized sound sessions or luxury facials, allowing guests to pair sound therapy with targeted skincare for a complete restorative experience.

Hannah provides virtual and in-person coaching services to adults with ADHD and executive functioning challenges, parent coaching, and guidance through the evaluation process, as well as workshops, group classes, and trainings to professionals and individual interest groups. Her focuses include metacognition, mindfulness, task management, organization, planning, and managing overwhelm. With a background in Educational Psychology, teaching, and yoga, she uses research-based, practical strategies to help clients identify patterns, set meaningful goals, and build sustainable skills. She is particularly passionate about working with driven, successful, women—often diagnosed later in life—who experience anxiety, overwhelm, and self-doubt alongside their ADHD.

PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZER

I’m Holly, your organizer friend and guide on the Seattle Eastside! I'm the founder of H.A.P. Organizing Solutions, and I help women solopreneurs clear out the clutter and make space for what lights them up!

As a work-from-home mom with all sorts of passions and interests, my organization systems and decluttered lifestyle allow me to have the energy and capacity to do the things I love. 

H.A.P. stands for Happy and Productive, Home and Paper, and my initials. Since I specialize in paper management, my clients make huge shifts in setting up an inspiring, clutter-free work environment, in order to get their best work done, and also for their self-care and peace of mind.

I work with clients 1:1 in person and virtually, host a semi-monthly Happy and Productive Power Hour (coworking sessions) virtually, and occasionally host workshops. Outside of the business, my passions and interests include: working full time as a financial operations manager, in-depth learning about personality frameworks (e.g. Enneagram) & astrology, singing in a chorus, enriching my brain with numerous podcasts on different subjects, jigsaw puzzles, hanging out with friends, and doing life with my family (including dog and cat). 

CEO, ILEANA CRAFT BALLOONS

I’m Ileana, an Ecuadorian woman passionate about the creative world since I was little. I’ve always believed that details made with love have the power to transform simple moments into unforgettable memories. Through my business, balloon decoration became my form of art – my way to share smiles and connect emotions. My purpose is to leave a piece of my heart in every design, bring joy to every celebration, and create happiness for every person who receives a detail made especially for them.                      

Life is meant to be celebrated, and I’m happy to be part of yours.

EMAIL MARKETER & COPYWRITER

I’m Isabelle, founder of Muse Marée — an in-person coworking community created to help fellow women entrepreneurs kickstart their week with a change of space and a room full of “you get it” energy.

I’m also an email marketer and copywriter based in the Seattle (Eastside!) area. Where women-led brands who give a frick, call me when they're ready for email marketing to be that nurturing needle-moving piece of the puzzle.

Whether it’s a strategy call, a done-with-you tweak session, writing their welcome sequence, or a fully done-for-you email launch.

I’m here to help make your inbox presence more meaningful, so you can connect with your audience, sell organically, and scale without the ick.

DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS & EVENT COORDINATOR

Haaiii! I’m Jessica, proud Director of Operations and Event Coordinator for Big Block Brewing, a female-majority-owned family business where I’ve spent the last nine years keeping our now four bustling locations running smoother than a fresh nitro pour. With extensive experience in hospitality, community building, management, merchandising, and business logistics, I’m passionate about nurturing our loyal regulars (the Blockheads) while expanding into new communities with unique needs. I proudly lead our female-majority team in a traditionally male-dominated industry, and I manage a powerhouse crew who keep our production flowing, provide a fantastic guest experience, keep our inventory tight, and bring everything from weddings to markets, dance nights, live music, private parties, and both on- and off-site events to life. We’ve even expanded into craft NA beverages because everyone deserves a seat at our table. When I’m not being a badass boss lady, you’ll find me cooking and baking with my husband, crafting something chaotic, or hanging with friends, family, and my two very spoiled cats. I’m a metal head and disco queen at heart. And as a neurospicy woman with nearly a decade in recovery and a domestic violence survivor, I’m honored to mentor and support other women rebuilding their lives after addiction and/or domestic violence, including through my volunteer work with King County Sexual Assault Resource Center’s Empowered Voice program.

ARTIST

Jodie is an artist and has been painting colorful, happy art for 20 years. A love of animals, nature, vibrant color and humor highly influences her work. Pet portrait commissions keep her busy as well as her own creations. She was interviewed on KOMO TV’s Seattle Refined and has shown her work in various venues including Schack Gallery and Overlake Hospital. She works out of her backyard art studio in Kirkland where Ranger, her 11-year-old Great Pyrenees, keeps her company.

PSYCHOTHERAPIST, HOLDFAST PSYCHOTHERAPY NW

Josephine is a licensed clinical mental health counseling associate in private practice on the Eastside. She specializes in working with “women who hold up the world” but who often forget their own needs as they care for others. She is a runner, horsewoman, and avid baker who is convinced pie might just heal all wounds (if not EMDR can clean up the rest). She is passionate about reclaiming menopause as an initiatory rite for women and reclaiming the wild, dangerous, wise trickster energy of the crone as a new image for the second half of women’s lives. She grew up in Michigan but has lived in the PNW for 12 years with her husband, and a collection of furry critters.

ONLINE BUSINESS MANAGER FOR CLIENT SUCCESS

I’m Karin (sounds like careen), and I’m an Online Business Manager. You know how business owners can get overwhelmed wearing all the hats in their business? I define and refine their client journey so they can focus on delivering results! Whether it's backend system development (like building out a CRM or a sales funnel) or client-facing support, I can provide strategy and implementation to scale a business to the next level.

FOUNDER, EMPIRE OF LIGHT

I'm Kelly, founder of Empire of Light, and I work with founders and leaders who see that the old ways of working aren't quite working and are ready to build something better.

I offer three main things:

- Organizational transformation: If you have a new strategy you're driving through your org, or you're adopting AI and want to do it in a way that actually works, I can help. My approach combines rigorous user-centered strategy with a change management framework rooted in consciousness expansion and unmasking principles to drive faster, longer-lasting change. The companies seeing 2-3x outcomes from AI aren't just automating — they're fundamentally rethinking how work gets done. I help organizations do that in a way that removes grunt work and makes people's jobs genuinely better.

- 1:1 leadership coaching: For high-capacity, neurodivergent leaders rebuilding after burnout. I've lived this path myself: burnout → neurodivergent discovery → completely rebuilt life — and I help others move through it faster and emerge as the leaders they were always meant to be.

- Community: Alcohol-free, kid- and neurodivergent-friendly, stupid-fun gatherings for emerging leaders who want to reconnect with their authenticity and find their people.

I bring 15+ years of experience in product and UX leadership, a love for hard conversations, and a good sense of humor. Based in Kirkland, WA. Outside of this, I have three kids, and I love making art, music, exploring consciousness, and spending as much time outside as possible.

TRAVEL ADVISOR, PLAID SUITCASE TRAVEL

At Plaid Suitcase Travel, I specialize in custom journeys across the U.S., Europe and Asia. Designing seamless itineraries for individuals and groups, incorporating rail, cruise, self-drive, and guided travel, I create the vacation that you want, not a cookie cutter experience.  With a blend of cultural depth and logistical ease, your trips will be both enriching and effortless.  At Plaid Suitcase Travel, no two adventures are alike—each one is tailored to inspire.

BEAUTY SHOP OWNER, LANA’S HAIR LOSS SOLUTIONS

Located in Sumner WA, owner since 2013 and partner with CRLAB Italian company since 2023 for hair loss solutions.

My main mission is helping people with hair loss and thinning hair feel confident and beautiful. 

OWNER & LEAD ORGANIZER

Lisa specializes in creating personalized organizing systems for neurodivergent individuals, families, and busy professionals in North King County and the Eastside. With a blend of empathy and expertise, she helps clients declutter, streamline their spaces, and build sustainable habits. As a queer, neurodivergent business owner with ADHD, Lisa brings firsthand experience and innovative solutions to every project.

DESIGNER / FOUNDER, COLORFLOW STUDIO

I believe creativity is one of the things that makes us happy. Yet modern life gives us endless opportunities to consume, while leaving less space to create, connect, and express ourselves.

I decided at seven that I wanted to be a creative, which led to a lifelong career in design. In 2013, with a dream of awakening an artist within every person, I founded Art & Fly Studio, where more than 600 people came through our doors over four years. Closing the studio to pursue my corporate design career was one of the hardest decisions I’ve made.

Now, with Colorflow Studio, I’m returning to that original idea through CREATIVITY for WELLBEING. Offering Silk Painting experiences as a beautiful way to slow down, create, and flow with color. 

OWNER, THE CONNECTION PLAYGROUND

I created The Connection Playground because I've spent a lot of time wondering why it's so hard to form deeper connections. I'd have a genuinely nice conversation with someone and still not know how to move past small talk, or wonder if it'd be weird to ask them to hang out.

I've been dancing for years and it's always helped me get out of my head. This year I started improv, and I noticed both taught me the same thing: when people are moving and laughing together, something shifts and conversation gets easier. That made me wonder what would happen if playful movement was the thing that helped people relax enough to actually connect.

So I built a low-pressure space where people can loosen up and play, making it a little easier to be ourselves around others.

ONLINE BUSINESS MANAGER, MELISSSA J VIRTUAL

As an Online Business Manager, I help established business owners and entrepreneurs by organizing the behind-the-scenes operations of their business so they can focus on growth. I handle all the details so that the CEO can stay in their genius zone and not worry about every little thing that happens in their business! I oversee projects, streamline systems, manage teams, and keep priorities moving forward. I optimize processes and make sure every moving part stays aligned. I bring structure, accountability, and clear communication so nothing falls through the cracks. My goal is to help business owners step out of the daily operations and confidently lead their business!

OWNER & THERAPEUTIC MOVEMENT SPECIALIST, SAGE MOVEMENT

I work with people whose relationship with movement is changing: a season where the old routine stopped fitting, working through mystery pain that doesn't have a clear diagnosis, adapting to hypermobility or a body that processes attention differently, moving through pregnancy and postpartum changes, or returning to exercise after surgery, injury, or a health event. For over 10 years I've built plans around the body and life in front of me, not a template, whether that means collaborating with your medical provider or rethinking an approach that used to work and doesn't anymore. What matters to me is what your body is walking through, what you need, what you enjoy in movement, and where you need structure versus room to adapt, not just today but as things shift week to week. I hold an E-RYT 500, am a Yoga Medicine® Therapeutic Specialist, and am NASM-CPT certified. I'm always glad to connect with providers and integrated wellness practices doing complementary work. I've contributed as a workshop presenter and anatomy faculty for yoga teacher trainings, and mentor yoga teachers from time to time. I'm a mom, animal lover, a nature enthusiast, and a committed coffee drinker.

Through Mo Chatta Consulting, she is building bridges between organizations and opportunities across the United States, Africa, and beyond.

OWNER, WANDERING PATH THERAPY

I became a therapist who works with women who are used to doing it all partly because I know exactly what it feels like to want to scream when someone innocently asks, “What’s for dinner?”

There was a time when that question alone could bring me to the brink of a meltdown. Because it was never just dinner. It was laundry and scheduling appointments and knowing when your mother-in-law had foot surgery or the dog needed flea treatment. Being the one carrying the mental load for an entire family and household was exhausting—and there were days I wanted to burn down my house and flee to a deserted beach where no one could find me and ask where their clean socks were.

Now, as a therapist, I help other women stop doing everything for everyone and build lives with more calm and acceptance. I’m passionate about giving women permission to be their authentic selves—warts and all. You don’t need to change yourself, become a “better version” of yourself, or work harder.

I help women explore the patterns that have kept them stuck and create boundaries that lead to liberation and deeper connections with the people they love.

I offer individual therapy in person in Carnation and via telehealth throughout Washington State.

When I’m not being a therapist, I’m a mom, partner, and writer currently working on my first book. I’m endlessly curious about why we humans do the ridiculous things we do—and I’m a big believer that humor makes just about everything a little easier.

CERTIFIED AYURVEDIC NUTRITION COACH, ROOTED & ALIGNED

I'm Nayna, a Certified Ayurvedic Nutrition Coach and the founder of Rooted & Aligned, based in Seattle. I help women 35+ move through perimenopause with simple, sustainable habits so they can sleep better, digest better and eat from a place of love, not fear. I believe midlife doesn't need more; it needs less, done right. Instead of strict diets or long supplement lists, I start with digestion, the foundation of health in Ayurveda, and turn 5,000 years of wisdom into small daily rituals that fit a busy life. I came to this work after a decade building businesses at Nordstrom and Amazon, where I saw how easily high-achieving women put their own health last. I offer 1:1 coaching, host talks and private events for women's groups and workplaces, and share free education on Instagram (@rooted.aligned) and my Substack. I'd love to connect with fellow founders, podcast hosts and wellness brands doing complementary work, and if you know a woman in midlife who feels "off," I'd be grateful for an introduction.

CFO, TAXREADY.BIZ LLC

With 20+ years across multiple industries business management and finances, my practice provides full financial lifecycle support—bookkeeping on QuickBooks Online, Controller oversight, CFO‑level guidance, tax strategy, and complete federal tax preparation. Classical piano is my long‑time hobby. I enjoy teaching adults in my Woodinville piano studio and playing piano duets with friends. Sharing knowledge in a way that feels simple and encouraging is one of the parts of my work I appreciate deeply. Being part of  WEbiz reflects a commitment to sincerity, professionalism, and supportive collaboration.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT CONSULTANT

I partner with employers to make employee benefits more strategic, understandable, and valuable for their people. I take a proactive, year-round approach to helping businesses navigate healthcare, benefits, and the rising cost of care. I believe benefits should be meaningful to employees, affordable for employers, and easy to understand. Building genuine relationships and serving as a trusted resource is my favorite part of what I do. Outside of work, you'll find me supporting local businesses, networking in the community, cheering on the Cougs, or spending time with family.
