Business Mentoring
With our Founder, Thalia - they/she
At just 24 years old, Thalia recognised a significant gap in the mental health services available to neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ individuals. This realisation led to the founding of Therapy Shmerapy, a groundbreaking initiative that has since grown into a national telehealth service and leading in the peer mental health space.
Pricing
Low income = $100

We do not provide a traditional, corporate "suit" business approach. This space is for peers who want to build a successful, grassroots business.
Neurodivergent, trans, and gender-diverse visionaries: Whether you are an aspiring founder or a current business owner in any industry, this is a space where you can strategise without having to mask.
Peer-led innovators: Anyone wanting to challenge traditional clinical structures and develop a thriving, peer-led allied health or community practice.
Who is this for?
Thalia provides a practical, values-aligned strategy to help you build and run your business on your own terms. Mentoring focuses on:
Conscious Strategy and Leadership: Building a business vision that never compromises your ethics, navigating the leap to self-employment, and managing a peer-led team.
Practice Logistics: Setting up secure systems and platforms, establishing transparent fee structures, and embedding your core values into your work.
Compliance & Sustainability: Implementing firm boundaries to prevent burnout while safely navigating the Australian Privacy Principles and the Victorian Health Records Act.
What do you offer?
Mentoring sessions may be tax deductible if it relates to improving or maintaining your current business income. For example, focusing on vision, strategy, leadership, and team management.
Mentoring sessions are not tax deductible if they relate closer to personal use, or if it is for a business that has not begun operations yet.
Tax deductions

Allied health services (eg. physiotherapy, dietitians, personal training, etc.)
Tattooing (Naarm-based)
