BREAKING THE MOLD FOR LAWYERS

I'm Ian Foster: attorney, business coach, and energy worker. I'm on a mission to serve coaches, healers, therapists, and other transformational leaders like you.

With 26 years in law β€” including 18 inside the government β€” I've learned not just the rules, but how they actually break down in the real world, and how to help you stay aligned and protected without losing yourself in the process.

I help you build a legal and ethical foundation that's reliable, practical, and sustainable β€” one that's genuinely in alignment with your values, and that actually helps you regulate your nervous system instead of spike it.

You'll always walk away from our work together knowing exactly what to do next. And you'll always have a safe space to ask questions, get things wrong, and figure it out … because building your legal foundation should feel like relief, not another source of overwhelm.

Standing in your legal power protects you, your clients, and your mission to make a difference in people's lives. Let's build that together.

βš–οΈ

Focused, hands-on workshops that empower business owners to understand, protect, and strengthen their legal foundations, so they can operate with confidence and help their clients achieve lasting results.

🀝

Honest, flexible, and values-aligned legal guidance from an experienced attorney who truly understands the heart-centered industry, and is deeply invested in helping you protect your purpose, elevate your business, and achieve sustainable success.

🌟

The law is on your side! Learn how to grow and scale your business safely, confidently, and in full alignment with your mission, so you can make a lasting difference in people's lives without fear or confusion around legal protection.

HOW MUCH LEGAL RISK COULD YOU REDUCE?

Yes, though not often. All regularly scheduled workshops are held on the second Saturday of each month. The New Year Priorities Bonus Workshop is held the first Saturday of January.
