Welcome to Novara, where soulful guidance meets strategic action. With nearly 25 years of experience, Ria has helped hundreds of women across the globe launch successful creative businesses. By blending energy healing, limiting belief work, tech support, and marketing strategy, she offers a unique, holistic coaching experience tailored for those with ADHD or similar traits.

My Story
Twenty-five years ago, I found myself stuck in a life I didn’t want. After blindly choosing a computer science degree because it seemed “safe,” I ended up coding safety programs for the rail industry, feeling creatively stifled and emotionally drained. I reached a breaking point, driving to work wishing for a minor car accident—just to get a break from the life I’d built. When the doctor offered medication, I realized that numbing the pain wasn’t the answer. Instead, I quit.

I pivoted into the creative world, starting my own business and using my tech skills to build websites and rank on Google. For years, I threw myself into growing that business, eventually leading a team and mentoring others to replicate my success. But then, in classic ADHD fashion, boredom crept in. I launched new projects, added distractions, and eventually burned out. My anxiety, overwhelm, and depression took over, and I felt like I had lost myself.

The pandemic was a turning point. Without my creative outlet, I realized I wasn’t truly fulfilled, even though I was still coaching others. I decided to start from scratch with a new challenge: launching a candle business in an oversaturated market. Despite supply shortages and stiff competition, it reignited my passion. Now, I balance running a bricks-and-mortar candle bar and perfume workshop with coaching clients through Novara—bringing together all the elements that light me up: creation, strategy, and connection.

Why I Do This
I believe sensitive souls and ADHD entrepreneurs are uniquely equipped to bring much-needed light into the world, especially during challenging times. Yet, the same sensitivity that fuels our creativity can also hold us back through overwhelm, self-doubt, and burnout. My mission is to help you break through those barriers and thrive.

What I Offer
At Novara, I offer personalized business coaching, mentoring, and co-creation for small business owners. Whether it's building your website, refining your marketing strategy, or working through limiting beliefs, we do it together. I also provide energy healing and wellness products to help soothe and strengthen the mind, body, and spirit.

Pricing
Hourly rates start at £40, with a 3-hour minimum. Monthly membership options are available, and I also accept Access to Work clients.

My Approach
Running a business with ADHD or high sensitivity requires a different approach. My coaching is a blend of energy healing, practical strategy, and belief reprogramming. I combine one-on-one sessions with small group masterminds and an on-demand training portal. By looking at your business and your mindset holistically, we create breakthroughs that last.
