WELCOME TO The Founder’s Sanctuary
Feeling isolated trying to grow your business? I’ve been there.
Welcome to The Founder’s Sanctuary—a space created for founders, by a founder who's been there, built it, and exited successfully.
The Founder’s Sanctuary is your go-to space for expert insight, real support, and tangible progress—created by a founder who's been there and built it.
After a hugely successful first round, Cohort 2 opens this September to just 10 new founders ready to grow with confidence.
It’s part accelerator, part mastermind, and fully focused on you—blending weekly live sessions, self-paced modules, and a powerful community to help you get clear, make moves, and stay supported.
Think of it as your personal advisory board, without the overwhelm or noise.
If you're ready to go further, faster—with flexibility, clarity, and a crew who’ve got your back—apply now for Cohort 2.
Here are just some of our outcomes so far…

Is The Founder’s Sanctuary for you?
Hi, I’m Helen. Over the last decade, I’ve built and exited 7-figure, impact-driven businesses—while raising three kids and writing a book about the highs, lows, and lessons of the journey.
Along the way, I invested heavily in accelerators, advisors, and mentors. I’ve taken everything I learned and distilled it into one powerful programme—The Founder’s Sanctuary.
We put you, the founder, at the centre. Because success isn’t just about sales—it’s about clarity, confidence, wellbeing, and momentum that lasts.
Inside TFS, founders have:
Booked 20+ sales meetings using our drip campaign framework
Nailed their niche and rebuilt their LinkedIn to attract leads + opportunities
Secured speaking gigs + clients with new messaging and positioning
Found clarity on offers and pricing with expert input
Grown visibility and confidence through peer coaching and live sessions
Gained access to mindset tools + practices — to keep burn out at bay.
With tailored modules, weekly live sessions, a rich resource library, and an active, supportive community, TFS is where early-stage founders stop guessing and start growing.
Cohort 2 opens this September. Applications now open.
