Virtual Assistance and Business Support
Jess Doyle, founder of Soul Yoga and Growth. Specializing in helping people and businesses be their best one breath at a time.
“Soul isn’t just the name of my business, it’s the energy behind everything I do”
I always knew I loved helping people bring their ideas to life since working with many small businesses, and most recently, a business very close to my heart, Huha, they are amazing and you should check them out! I realised in one of my reviews that when asked what I loved most about my role, I said for four years in a row, I love helping people, be that customers or our own team it was always where my heart went with every decision I made.
Now since fully stepping into my own business, I love that I get to gather together all of the things that excite me and that I am good at to continue my passion. Helping people live their best lives both personally and professionally ( oh, I am also a yoga teacher and life coach, helping people with anxiety ).
As a Virtual Assistant and Business Consultant, I wear many hats but am always grounded in one goal: helping soul-led businesses grow with integrity and ease.
The Quiet Power of having someone on your side.
Being an entrepreneur and business owner can be lonely when you are just starting out. I really understand. You are constantly questioning your decisions, or perhaps you are too scared even to make any decisions. Making decisions quickly and well is a massive part of running and growing a successful business. Some days are easier than others, and most days something will go wrong, but it doesn’t have to be the end of the world. Having someone on your side helps share that responsibility.
Consulting With Heart
I found myself helping people with every part of their business and loving every second of it, from refining their brand voice to streamlining their systems. That’s when I realized what I love most is helping people and giving them the space to open up their calenders for things they love doing and yes that meant I thought them yoga too. This was intuitive business consulting.
I now help heart-centered entrepreneurs align their big vision with grounded, sustainable strategy. Whether you're refining your customer journey, planning a retreat, hiring your first team member, or creating offers that reflect your values, I’m here to help you build a business that feels as good on the inside as it looks from the outside.
Who I Work With
I’m especially passionate about supporting:
Founders of small, values-driven businesses
Women who want to lead in their own way, not by hustling, but by trusting their voice
Founders who feel they are ready to take their business to the next level but need help ironing out some kinks first.
Founders who are struggling to define their role and find the confidence to hire a full-time member and trust another person with their dream.
Anyone in a season of transition, ready to build or rebuild a business with intention
What Makes This Soul Work
Soul isn’t just the name of my business, it’s the energy behind everything I do. I bring a trauma-informed, intuitive approach to consulting and operations. That means honoring nervous system regulation, making space for life to be messy sometimes, and staying aligned with your "why" as much as your revenue goals.
If you’ve ever wished for someone to walk beside you, not just as a strategist, but as a grounded support system, I’d love to chat.

Intro to the Soul
The Intro to Your Soul series is a gentle, no-pressure introduction to different healing tools designed especially for you. Whether you are brand new to these practices or looking for a supportive space to reconnect, you are welcome here exactly as you are.
For four weeks, we will explore the elements Water, Earth, Air, and Fire, each representing a different way to connect with yourself. Every session is an invitation, not an expectation. You get to choose what resonates with you, what supports you, and what you’d like to take forward into your life.
Healing is not about pushing yourself or following a rigid routine. It’s about discovering what feels safe, what feels good, and what helps you reconnect.
Listen to this song while you are reading, and let me know how it feels.
Each session includes:
✅ A guided journaling practice to help you listen to yourself with compassion.
✅ A different healing modality to explore what feels good in your body.
✅ A space for rest, ease, and connection without pressure or expectations.
✅ A warm cup of tea and a moment to simply be.
By the end of the series, you will have built your own healing toolbox filled with practices that bring ease, comfort, and trust into your daily life.
This series is offered both online and in person, so you can join from wherever you feel most comfortable.
Week 1: Water – Reconnection & Presence
Water is about softening, allowing ourselves to flow, feel, and gently reconnect with our senses. When experiencing anxiety or depression, it can be common to feel disconnected from our bodies. This session is an invitation to simply notice what is here without needing to change anything.
In this class, we focus on reconnecting with the five senses:
🌊 Mindful listening – Noticing sounds around us, tuning into the present moment.
🌊 Mindful eating – Slowly savoring a small piece of chocolate or tea, observing taste and texture.
🌊 Gentle self-inquiry – Through guided journaling, we explore what presence means to us.
🌊 Sound bath experience – A deep, immersive experience in sound, helping us listen inwardly and outwardly.
This session involves no movement, only an invitation to settle, listen, and be with yourself.
Week 2: Earth – Grounding & Stability
Finding Balance.
After softening into presence, we explore Earth's stability, grounding, and connection. Anxiety often brings a sense of unease, a feeling of being untethered. This session is designed to help you feel supported, rooted, and steady physically and emotionally.
🌿 Gentle, beginner-friendly movement – Slow, mindful movements to reconnect with your breath and body.
🌿 Grounding meditation – A guided meditation inviting you to visualize roots, stability, and inner safety.
🌿 Journaling for self-connection – Exploring how to create a sense of safety within ourselves.
🌿 Rest and reflection – After movement, we settle into a supported, restful position and notice how our bodies feel.
All movement is optional and can be done at your own pace. There is no right or wrong way to participate.
Week 3: Air – Lightness & Release
Air represents lightness, breath, and spaciousness, qualities that can be difficult to access when we feel overwhelmed. This session helps us explore ways to bring more ease and release into our nervous system through breath and movement.
🌬 Simple breathwork techniques – No forced deep breaths, just gentle invitations to explore what feels comfortable.
🌬 Stillness & silence – Noticing the rhythms of your body and creating moments of quiet.
🌬 Gentle movement – Releasing tension through small, natural movements.
🌬 Savasana & deep rest – A guided relaxation to let the body settle.
This week encourages self-trust, and you decide what feels best for you, whether it’s stillness, movement, or somewhere in between.
Week 4: Fire – Expression & Creativity
Fire represents expression, passion, and transformation, but not in an overwhelming way. Often, when words feel too difficult, creativity can help us express things we don’t yet know how to say.
🔥 Creative expression – Painting, drawing, or any form of visual self-expression. There are no rules, just exploration.
🔥 Journaling reflection – What worked best for you in the series? What tools felt most supportive?
🔥 A moment of gratitude – Honoring yourself for showing up and exploring these practices.
This final session is about trusting your own process and taking time to acknowledge your personal journey.
What differentiates traditional yoga from trauma-informed yoga?
Welcoming you just as you are, at the Soul Shala
Anxiety is something that many of us experience, whether it’s a constant undercurrent or a wave that crashes in unexpectedly. In today’s fast-paced world, the need for spaces that support emotional regulation, nervous system balance, and self-awareness has never been greater. This is where anxiety-informed yoga and mindfulness come in—a practice that goes beyond traditional yoga to meet individuals exactly where they are.
The Difference Between Anxiety-Informed Yoga or Yoga with Care and Traditional Yoga
Traditional yoga is a powerful spiritual practice that goes beyond the physical, focusing on breath, movement, mantra presence, and much more. However, not all yoga classes are designed with the needs of anxious or trauma-sensitive individuals in mind. Anxiety-informed yoga is a more mindful, intentional approach that prioritizes choice and nervous system regulation.
Here’s how it differs from regular yoga:
Emphasis on Nervous System Regulation – Anxiety-informed yoga focuses on helping individuals move out of fight-or-flight responses and into a more grounded, regulated state. This includes slower transitions, longer holds, and a balance between activation and relaxation.
Choice-Based Practice – Instead of set sequences or expectations, anxiety-informed yoga empowers individuals to listen to their bodies and check in on how each exercise is making them fell. There’s no pressure to push past discomfort—options and modifications are encouraged so students can find what feels best for them.
Mindfulness as a Core Component – Mindfulness is a huge part of yoga practices; anxiety-informed yoga is an essential foundation. Guided breathwork, meditation, and body awareness exercises help practitioners gently shift their focus away from anxious thoughts and into the present moment.
Trauma-Sensitive Approach – Many people with anxiety also have past experiences of trauma. This approach avoids triggering cues, encourages self-agency, and fosters a sense of safety through grounding techniques and supportive language.
Why It Matters
For those navigating anxiety, stepping onto a yoga mat or going to a new space can feel intimidating and scary.
Anxiety-informed yoga creates an inclusive and compassionate space where individuals can move, breathe, and be exactly as they are—without expectation or judgment.
At Soul Yoga and Growth, my goal is to help you reconnect with yourself in a way that feels safe and supportive. Whether you’re new to yoga or have been practicing for years, this approach allows you to build resilience, self-trust, and inner peace at your own pace.
If you’re ready to explore a practice designed with your nervous system in mind, I invite you to join me on this journey to return to yourself one breath at a time.
