Ops Partner

You didn't start this to spend time on everything except the work you love.

I run the back end of your business so you can stay in the work you actually care about. Client intake, scheduling, the inbox, the systems that should already exist. I own it. You get your time back.

Selected work

Handed the mess. Here's what I built.

01
Client Onboarding

Their customers were cancelling because onboarding was a mess. I rebuilt it.

There was no real intake system. I mapped the whole client journey, rebuilt it end to end, and set it up so it ran without anyone babysitting it. New customers got a smooth experience instead of a scramble.

  • 58% fewer cancellations
  • 59% less onboarding time
  • Built and running in under 90 days
02
Client Systems

A growing client base, and satisfaction holding at 90%+.

I built the onboarding and client communication systems that keep people happy as a business grows. Clear intake, fast answers, a setup repeatable enough that it didn't depend on one person being in the room. The back end ran whether the owner was there or not.

  • 90%+ client satisfaction, held
  • Onboarding that grew without breaking
  • Documented so nothing lived in one person's head
03
Automation

Good service, but the back end was eating the week.

I automated the repetitive work that was draining time and cleaned up who owned what. Costs dropped 16% and the team stopped drowning in busywork, without service slipping.

  • 16% lower costs through automation
  • Faster response times
  • Less manual work, more time for the actual craft
About

Most of the business side feels like it's stealing time from the work you love.

Hey, I'm Bethany. You're great at your actual work. The doula work, the photography, the writing, the practice. What you didn't sign up for is the pile of admin and systems wrapped around it.

That's the part I own. I don't hand you a strategy and disappear. I run the back end, build what's missing, and stay until it works without you.

Sixteen years doing exactly this, mostly inside bigger companies. Same job every time: walk into the messy, half-built "someone should own this" work and turn it into something that actually runs. Now I do it for the people who are their business.

If the back end is pulling you away from your craft, that's the exact thing I'm good at. Hand me the mess!

Client intake and onboarding
Scheduling and inbox that run themselves
Automation and tool setup
Client communication systems
Process documentation so nothing lives in your head
The recurring back-end work, handled
Services

Two ways to work together.

Whether you need the back end run or the whole thing rebuilt, you get an operator who owns it. Not a task-taker waiting for instructions.

The Ops Retainer
Run my back end
$750
starting, per month

For solo practitioners who need the back end of the business run, not rebuilt. Client intake and onboarding, scheduling, your inbox, client communication, the recurring tasks that pile up. I run and maintain it, consistently, so you can stay in the work you actually care about. Where something's broken, I flag it and fix it.

What it looks like. No hours to track and no scope creep tax. The operational load just gets handled, month after month, by someone who owns it instead of waiting to be told.

Client intake and onboarding
Scheduling and inbox flows
Client communication, handled
Light automation and tool setup
Recurring tasks owned, not babysat
Broken things flagged and fixed
Get it handled
The Partnership Retainer
Build the whole thing
$2,000
starting, per month, scales with scope

For established practices and small studios that need their operations diagnosed, designed, and built. Every month, one real operational improvement moves forward, either fully built or scoped with the roadmap, tools, and resources ready to go. The business is more buildable at the end of the month than the start.

What it looks like. Every engagement runs on the same arc: Diagnose, Design, Implement. We find where your operations are leaking time, money, or people. I design the fix. Then I build it. You get an operator in the room, not advice you have to go execute yourself.

Diagnose, Design, Implement
One real build moved forward each month
Client systems and onboarding, rebuilt
Automation and tool setup
KPIs and accountability that hold
Documentation so nothing lives in your head
Let's build together
Partnership Retainer: What the first 30 days look like

No long ramp-up. Diagnose, Design, Implement, starting week one.

Week 1

Diagnose.

I look at how your business actually runs day to day. Where clients come in, where things get stuck, where time and money are leaking. You get a clear, honest read by the end of the week.

Week 2

Design.

I bring a short plan, we pick the priorities together, and I start building. No waiting for a forty-page deck.

Weeks 3 to 4

Implement.

The first system, process, or structure goes live. You start seeing the messy thing become a finished thing.

From there, we keep going. Every month, something that was half-built becomes done.
