Financial Education, Life Skills & Counselling that Empower You to Thrive

Why TILLOW?

At TILLOW, we lead with a therapeutically informed approach — because we know that money stress isn’t just about numbers; it’s deeply connected to identity, safety, choice, and emotion. That’s why every service we offer is grounded in therapeutic best practices, helping individuals not only learn financial skills, but also understand the why behind their habits and decisions.

Our approach is anchored in the Five Pillars of Empowered Learning and Financial Wellness — a practical and transformative framework designed to guide participants step-by-step toward lasting financial confidence, independence, and joy.

We’re proud to work from a five-pillar framework that aligns with our hand metaphor for learning and financial wellbeing. These pillars form the heart of everything we do:

The Five Pillars of Empowerment

Therapeutic Practice (Thumb – Foundation & grounding)
Everything begins with safety, connection, and care. Our counselling-first approach builds emotional regulation, trust, and self-awareness—laying the foundation for growth.

Tailored Integration (Pointer Finger – Direction & choice)
No two journeys are the same. We adapt every session and resource to the person in front of us—supporting their unique goals, learning style, and needs.

Sustainable Learning (Middle Finger – Strength & growth)
We don’t just pass on information—we cultivate lasting habits. Every resource, session, and tool is designed for long-term understanding and real-world application.

Empowered Autonomy (Ring Finger – Relationship & identity)
Financial decisions are tied to identity, values, and lived experience. We honour that deeply—supporting confident choices that reflect each person’s independence and dignity.

Joyful Engagement (Pinky – Fun & celebration)
Money doesn’t have to be heavy. At TILLOW, we keep things playful, colourful, and celebratory—so learning becomes something people actually
look forward to.

The Story behind Tillow Coaching & Consulting

Empowering Financial Growth, One Choice at a Time

At TILLOW Coaching and Consulting, we believe that money is a tool for growth, not a source of stress. Our purpose is rooted in the idea that financial knowledge can transform lives by breaking the cycle of money struggles, creating opportunities for individuals and families to thrive, and opening doors to new possibilities for future generations. We bring lightness and laughter to the topic of money, redefining it as a source of empowerment and joy. Jess founded TILLOW to help people see that financial wellness is achievable for everyone, regardless of their income level or circumstances.

The name TILLOW comes from an old English word meaning “new growth” from the branch of a tree. This idea of growth and renewal is at the heart of what we offer: simple, practical tools to equip individuals with straightforward strategies to feel in control of their finances; real-life support addressing challenges like making ends meet on modest incomes or managing money while living with a disability; and inclusive programs designed for everyday people, not financial experts. We believe financial empowerment is for everyone.

Our approach to financial education is approachable, clear, and enjoyable. We offer personalized coaching to address unique financial challenges, interactive and fun learning experiences with peers, and flexible, self-paced tools that foster lasting changes. Each offering reflects our commitment to accessibility, warmth, and inclusivity. We meet people where they are and help them move forward with confidence.

Discover simple, fun, and approachable ways to take control of your finances, gaining confidence, clarity, and control to make empowered and informed financial choices. Imagine a life where you understand your financial situation, know exactly where your money is going and why, gain the freedom to make choices that align with your goals and values, and build generational wealth by passing down positive money habits to loved ones. TILLOW Coaching and Consulting is here to guide you on your journey to financial confidence and freedom. Through laughter, lightness, and growth, Jess and the TILLOW team are transforming lives one step at a time.

Money doesn’t have to be heavy. It can be fun, light, and empowering. Let’s embrace new ways of thinking about finances and create a healthy, wealthy future together.
