Because guesswork isn’t a strategy—and posting into the void isn’t the vibe. Clarity, clients, consistency. That’s the new baseline.
“Since working with Hazal, I’ve scaled my business from $5–7k months to consistently hitting $20–30k months—while working less and finally having a life outside my business. She doesn’t force formulas; she helps you build a strategy that actually feels good. Working with her feels flowy, actionable, and fun.”

“Since joining the Self-Makers Mastermind, my email list has tripled, I’ve booked paid workshops, and I’m consistently getting new leads—all from Hazal’s personalised strategies. What I love most is how she blends strategy with alignment, pushing me to do hard things that feel true to my values.”
Abbey Layton, Online Nutritionist and Personal Trainer
““When I started with Hazal, I had one client and was earning $100 a week. Now I’ve had consistent $12K, $14K, and $15K months, with over 55 clients and systems that run smoothly. She helped me nail my messaging, master marketing that feels natural, and create a business that lets me travel the world. Working with Hazal has completely changed my life”
What They're Saying
We've been working together for what? Three years? That’s crazy. I remember listening to you on a podcast and thinking, “Oh, this girl sounds like someone I should really talk to.” I reached out while exploring my options, and I just remember feeling like you would get me. Now it’s funny saying that because we talk about it all the time—you do get me, and vice versa.
Working with you feels so personable. It doesn’t feel like ticking boxes or following a formula. It feels like friends diving into things we both care about, which makes it such a rich experience.
When I booked that discovery call, I just remember clicking with you and thinking you could give me clarity. At the time, I didn’t know what to do next or what to focus on, and you spoke directly to that. I knew you’d help me work through it, and I felt that connection plus the confidence in your experience. That’s really why I started working with you—and now, three years later, we’re still here.
I had so many ideas back then. I wanted to improve and streamline everything but didn’t know where to start. I felt like I was offering a good client experience but leaving money on the table in places that would be easy to fix. I didn’t have clarity on what to focus on, and I knew I needed systems and processes that would grow with me as my bookings increased.
"I’ve scaled my business from $5–7k months to consistently hitting $20–30k months—while working less"
Emily Steward,
Photographer and Business Coach
Since then, I’ve scaled so much. I think I’ve scaled my business 2.5 to 3 times what it was when we started. And honestly, that’s in large part because of you. You helped me plan, see through the overwhelm, cut the fluff, and focus on what matters in a way that feels good—not just like sales tactics or strategies that don’t align. You always check in, asking, “Does this feel good? Does this feel true?” rather than telling me what I have to do.
If something doesn’t work for me, you adapt. You help me try a different way until we find something that clicks, which I really appreciate. You check in not just on my business, but on me as a human. That’s been huge.
All that to say, you’ve helped me cut through the overwhelm, find what works for me, and create systems and processes that evolve with me.
Since working together, I’ve gone from $5-7k months to consistently hitting $20k–30k months. That’s insane. I don’t share that number with many people, but that’s a clear, tangible result of working with you. Beyond the revenue, I now actually track my goals, my leads, my bookings—things I never did before. And because of that, we can see what’s working and improve it.
Another big thing? Accountability. I’m great at dreaming and planning but not always doing. Having your check-ins, reminders, and encouragement to actually do the thing has been so valuable—especially as a solo entrepreneur. You’re that person who’s there, supporting me, making sure I move forward.
But honestly, the biggest transformation is how business feels now. When we started, I was working every day. My therapist had to tell me to take a day off. You helped me implement real boundaries. Now, business feels fun. It feels exciting. I can close my laptop at the end of the day and not think about it. I can say, “This can wait until tomorrow,” and actually feel okay about it. That has changed my life.
I’m working less and making so much more. That balance between life and business has completely shifted for me.
In three words? Working with you feels flowy, actionable, and fun. You meet me where I’m at, every single time. Whether I’m tired or overwhelmed or full of ideas, you match my energy and then help me turn it into practical action. You’re intuitive, but you’re also structured. You give me recaps, checklists, and reminders that work for my brain.
You help me build a business that feels good and is truly mine.
Looking back, I was such a different person when we started. I’m so grateful I took the leap, because coaching is such an investment. But it’s paid off 10 times over—for my business and my life.
"When Hazal and I first started working together I was needing guidance as to what the next steps should be in my business. I was lacking clients and having no experience or education in marketing and/or sales, I felt lost. I wanted to make consistent income and feel as though I could fully financially support myself.
From our time together so far I've been able to increase my income to consistent $8-10k months, fully booked out 2 months in advance repetitively and a clear action plan with steps to implement for my business's future
She helped me with my confidence within myself, my pricing, my ability to follow through and my organisation. I've always doubted myself and given up on myself either because of a negative inner monologue or just a lack of belief or trust in myself. Working with Hazal is motivating, incredible, priceless.
I would recommend Hazal to anyone and everyone (and I have!). She is kind, incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate and sweet. If you have a business of any sort - you need Haze in your life. She brings an excitement to business that I didn't realise was possible.
I always saw it as 'work', but she's helped me see it as fun. She will be your biggest cheerleader and your #1 fan always.

After resigning for another 6 months together, the level of support never faded. She is just as motivated, supportive and excited to help me as she was at the beginning. That is something I've never experienced before (Haze is my 4th business coach and by far the most incredible and consistent that I've hired). If you're on the fence, I highly encourage you to take the leap. You won't regret it!”
My goal was to hit $10K months consistently. Now I have over 55 clients, my systems are set up, and I’ve had months of $12K, $14K, and $15K in a row. That goal of consistent $10K months? We hit it, and now $30K feels completely doable.
My business now feels effortless. I know what to post, how to sell, how to write content that connects. Marketing doesn’t feel like a chore—it feels natural. I’m confident in what I do, who I speak to, and how I help.
And the best part? My husband and I now travel the world while I run my business from anywhere. That freedom was always the dream.
The clarity Hazal helped me find in my messaging changed everything. I knew what I wanted to say, but she helped me define exactly who I was speaking to, what they needed, and how I could speak to that in a way that felt authentic. That’s why I’ve not only attracted clients—but kept them.
What I loved most was that it never felt one-sided. Hazal didn’t just tell me what to do, she got in the trenches with me. She knew my business inside out and became more like a business partner than a coach. We brainstormed, troubleshot, and made strategic decisions together.

ABBEY LAYTON
PERSONAL TRAINER AND NUTRITIONIST
At the start, I was scared to speak up about certain views—worried I’d get hate or pushback. Hazal helped me own my message. She reminded me that my story, my beliefs, and my voice are exactly what my people need to hear. That gave me the confidence to show up fully as myself.
She brings the perfect mix of marketing genius and heart. She’s got 12+ years of experience, and it shows. I’d send her sales page copy or captions, and she’d tweak them on the spot to make them sharper, stronger, and more magnetic. Her strategic mind is next-level.
It’s an investment, yes—but it’s one that will completely shift your business. Hazal gives you the foundations you need to grow now and years from now. She’ll guide you, support you, and teach you how to lead. And she genuinely cares. This has changed my life—and I wouldn’t have done it without her."
"The way Hazal shows up on Instagram is authentic and is what drew me in. I decided to do the Self-Makers Mastermind with her because I wanted to bounce marketing ideas off someone else who was further along in business than I was, as well as get advice on my marketing strategy.
What I like most about the mastermind was I the group coaching calls, especially listening to questions from other people. I learnt a lot from the answers Hazal gave since all of us are at different stages of business.
The group coaching calls were my favourite part of the mastermind. I liked that it was a small group so Hazal could answer our questions in detail, and I learnt a lot from her answers to other people's questions as well.
Since joining the mastermind, my email list tripled, and I got new leads from the 2 x 90-day strategy that Hazal prepared for me. I'm also getting opportunities to do paid workshops - which I wouldn't have gotten if it weren't for Hazal's advice to network in Facebook groups as well as in-person.

ISABEL CHEN
Content Marketing Mentor
I also got more clarity on what I need to do to get to where I want to be. I'm also more confident on handling objections on my disco calls and what are the next steps in following up with leads.
The experience was, amazing + life-changing.
Hazal makes me do hard things! But I appreciate it - if she hadn't pushed me to go and guest on podcasts, network more or follow up with leads I wouldn't be where I am in business right now.
If I were to recommend Hazal to others, I would say, if you know that you want your business to be authentic to your values and that you want to make a difference in this world. If you're ready to grow your business in a way that stays true to that, then you should work with Hazal so that you do it in a way that's not just strategic but also aligned with you."

“I was feeling like I wasn’t prioritising my marketing. I was putting my clients first, which is a great place to be, but I could definitely see that if I wanted to grow my business, I needed more eyeballs and more people in my world.
I wanted to increase visibility and grow my business, but I didn’t have heaps of time. I felt a lot of pressure for my content and emails to be perfect. If I was going to spend time on it, I wanted it to convert, but I had no idea what to say, how to say it, or what kind of content to create.
I’d overthink and end up doing nothing. I really needed structure and strategic expertise so I wasn’t wasting precious time creating content that didn’t grow my business or support my audience.
I wasn’t stagnant, but I had this little voice inside saying, “I’m ready for more.” My offers were solid, I had consistency, but I needed to amplify.
What I love most about the Mastermind is the support. It’s not plug-and-play templates, you teach us how to write our own authentic content and then help us refine it. That depth of support, both in calls and in Slack, is something I’ve never experienced elsewhere. It’s high-touch, high-impact, and genuinely transformative.
" I’ve booked out all my offers, built a waitlist, and had my biggest year in business—with a 40% revenue increase and consistent leads"
ZOE RICHMOND
online business manager
Since joining, I’ve booked out all my offers and created a waitlist. I had my biggest year in business with around a 40% revenue increase. I’ve become more consistent, grown my Instagram following past 1,000 (after being stuck in the 800s for years), and built up recurring revenue with retainer clients. There’s more stability in my business now.
The biggest shift has been consistency. Not daily hustle, just strategic, sustainable action. And with that, I became visible, booked out, and hit my highest revenue year yet.
The prompts, content planning sessions, and support in Slack help me bounce back quickly when I get off track. That accountability is everything. I've also created systems—like prioritising 20 minutes each morning for marketing, whether that’s writing a caption, an email, or connecting on Instagram. Just one small thing a day makes a huge difference.
I love the marketing roadmaps. They give me clarity and structure every quarter. It’s no longer overwhelming—I know exactly what to focus on each week, which helps me make consistent, measurable progress.
I’m much more confident selling my offers and clear on who I want to work with—and who I don’t. I’m not afraid to say no to misaligned clients. That makes work so much easier and more joyful. I’ve also gotten better at boundaries and putting myself first—scheduling downtime, communicating clearly, and standing firm on what works for me.
Hazal’s coaching is equal parts strategy and heart. She pushes you—but always with empathy. Everything she suggests is simple, aligned, and completely doable. I’ve never felt so supported and seen in a container.
Oh my goodness where do I start? Working with Hazal was the best thing I ever did for my business.
Hazal was so understanding and kind, no matter what was going on in my brain. Having her support the levelling up of my business was like having a friend constantly having your back (a friend with amazing knowledge in the industry)
I was able to have some huge mindset shifts while working together, with the tools that Hazal gave me and really unlock the potential I didn't even know I had. I started to believe in myself and my business and started to achieve calm amidst the previous chaos. I doubled my income from the start of the year to the end of my 3 months with Hazal and I gained 8 new clients in just 3 days (amongst the others along the way).
Hazal supported my vision for my business and helped me gain more of my soul mate clients - ie. I got to grow my business authentically."
Seriously, best thing I ever did for my business.

I love Hazal's approach of balancing life and work, and knew she could help me achieve my dreams with a clear strategy that would save me time and help me create the financial freedom I desired.
I had 13x more profit in 3 months working together. I gained a more consistent income month to month, that I know that I am building upon. I have social media and newsletter readers saying to me that they love my content, and I am becoming a reliable, consistent voice in my area of expertise.
I have more confidence in navigating my business. Time saving for sure, on putting ideas into action and seeing results. In 6 months I've created online courses, an online yoga membership, 31 days of yoga challenges, email campaigns and so much more. Getting really clear on my ideal client and seeing the change in my mindset on how to have fun with marketing and it being a chance to connect to clients whom you love and want to work with.
From day one of working with Hazal, I knew she was the coach for me. There is the perfect amount of coaching support, to strategy and steps behind moving the needle in my business - to create financial freedom, whilst living a balanced family life. I feel 100% heard, and I love that nothing is ever too big to do. Hazal always replies with supportive, honest and open ways to help me create the reality of my business dreams!
100% work with Hazal. She is so supportive and impeccable in her business advice. There is such wealth of knowledge, and I feel like I have the most amazing "team" behind my business, which is such a valuable asset to help you make your business dreams a reality!"

I have absolutely loved the experience of working with Hazal as my business coach & mentor - I have been in my small business role for 5 years & didn't realize how much I actually needed this time with her! What initially drew me to use Hazal was her authenticity & relatability!
Hazal is full of amazing ideas & is a wealth of knowledge with tools & templates I can use in my business, which I never knew even existed! But since using them they have streamlined my workload & allowed me more time to devote to other aspects of my business!
Since working with her I have seen my client list grow, my social media following grow, and I feel comfortable with my branding & I think the most amazing thing is the mindset shifts I have had around money & self-worth.
I would absolutely recommend her to EVERYONE & will be enlisting her again in the new year as there is still so much to learn from this amazing woman! It has been the best business investment I've made to date."

"I love that Hazal is as excited as I am about my brand. Hazal is very friendly and easy to work with. She truly cares about my business.
I have seen unbelievable growth in my business since I started working with Hazal. Our reach on social media is through the roof and our website traffic has gone crazy! I have a lot more opportunities to work with other businesses and collaborations with influencers. Being new to that side of business, Hazal has helped me so much to gain more clarity on the process and being confident.
Her strategies are amazing and she is very creative and talented. I love having a brainstorming session with Hazal as I learn a lot and it is a lot of fun. I would absolutely recommend Hazal to anyone serious about growing their business. My business would not be where it is without Hazal. Hazal is incredibly talented, creative, friendly and I feel very lucky to be able to work with her.
Hazal is a great strategist and Mentor!”

“I first learned about Hazal’s work on a podcast. I was looking for actionable ways I could increase my visibility and engagement on social media and I was blown away by the value that she offered on the show. I thought – if she is giving this away for free, imagine what value she has to offer in her paid containers! I then booked a 1:1 with her which lead me to work privately 1:1 with her for 3mths. We’ve achieved so much in the 3mth period that I’ve signed on to work with her for another 6 months.
Working with Hazal has been a game-changer for me. From day one, she understood exactly what I needed to transform my brand and messaging, increase my visibility and engagement, and boost my confidence in selling my services. Hazal's expertise and valuable insights have helped me achieve some incredible results.
In only three months we have cemented my brand and my niche, developed strategies and implemented tools that have helped me to stay consistent with my social media posting, launched a podcast and continue to grow my reach and engagement.
Throughout the whole process Hazal has challenged me and held such a supportive space for me to step into and grow. I have achieved more in 3mths than I would’ve in a year by myself. I’ve developed confidence in how I show up and promote my services that will enable me to have an even greater impact in the world.
I would recommend Hazal to anyone looking for a transformational, energizing, and inspiring experience that will take their business to the next level. Anyone who is looking to leverage social media to grow their business should work with Hazal. Her experience across such a diverse range of industries gives her a deep set of strategies and skills she can draw upon to help you create your own journey towards success.
