Creative Founder?
Lead your business without burning out.
You built something from nothing. From your craft, your talent, your vision.
But now? You're exhausted. Carrying it all. Being the system. There’s a better way.
You're not failing. You're using the wrong methods.
You've tried better routines, clearer goals, stronger boundaries.
And still... it feels like too much.
You can't take a real break
You're always behind
You're the point person for everything
And the systems you do have? Either too complex, half-designed, or not used at all
You're not broken.
Most business advice wasn't designed for creative founders.
It assumes you work in predictable, linear ways.
But you know that's not how creativity works. It's not HOW you work.
You've been taught (often subconsciously) to lead by overfunctioning.
And forcing yourself into systems that don't fit? That's what's burning you out.
At Allegro, we help creative founders shift from over-responsibility into sustainable leadership—not by forcing discipline, but by designing around who you actually are and what you really want.
The Allegro difference?
Most support gives you one half of the equation.
Inner work that helps you name the problem—but doesn’t show you what to do with it
Or systems that give you structure—but don’t address the patterns that keep repeating
We integrate both.
Because insight without implementation doesn’t stick.
And systems without behavioral change don’t hold.
This is about building capacity—
the emotional, strategic, and operational kind.
Not to do more.
To carry less and lead better.

I help creative founders through their entire growth curve
Not generic entrepreneurs. Creative founders.

You don’t have to do this alone.
Every Allegro program is live, cohort-based, and coach-led—so you’re building alongside people who get it.
Real friendships form. Strategic conversations happen. Patterns shift faster when they’re witnessed.
And then, a few times a year, we take it offline.
Retreat, Review & Reset
Quarterly Retreats in the UK & Portugal
Strategy, rest, and reconnection—face to face. No fluorescent lights. No panels. Just clean air, clear thinking, and a creative reset.
Founders from the different Allegro programmes gather to work deeply, eat well, get creative and remember why they started. It's not a networking event. It's a nourishing one.
Proof that it works
""I’ve been really trying to work with and empower other members of the team... rather than thinking, well, I've got to fix this, I've got to fix everything”
Leader OS Client
“I’m actually enjoying it again now—because I’m not giving everything to it.”
Anabelle, Co-work & Studio Founder
“I feel more in control than I think I’ve ever felt before.”
Shona, Hospitality Founder
“It felt like therapy, but in a really lovely way. Very creative... like it pulls on that entrepreneur spirit.”
Leader OS Client
Change starts here.
You’ve been holding more than most — and still feel like you can’t pause long enough to fix what’s not working.
Even now, booking a call probably feels like one more thing to do. But here’s the truth: If you wait until you have time, you’ll keep running out of it.
This isn’t about squeezing in another task. It’s about creating a system that gives you space — on your terms.
Start here. It’s the lightest step with the biggest shift.
About you (and me)
Hi, I’m Christina and I don’t want you to burnout (again)!
I’m a Business Performance Coach for creative founders who are tired of carrying everything.
Before Allegro, I was a Chief of Staff to the CEO.
Inside the room. In the work. Behind the scenes of growth.
I’ve lived the patterns I now help founders shift:
Over-responsibility disguised as leadership
Systems that looked good on paper but didn’t fit in practice
Burnout hidden behind high performance
Now I help you lead without self-sacrifice—
by stripping away the patterns that exhaust you and building systems that actually fit how you work.
No hype. No hustle. Just capacity, clarity, and a business that runs with you—not on you.
Let’s shift from the business Lifesource to the Leader.
Let’s build something that actually works for you.
