Financial Education
Guiding you toward confidence, clarity, and control, so financial choices feel empowered and informed.
Empowering financial confidence and direction, one step at a time. Join me and let's make money work for you!
At TILLOW, we offer Counselling, Peer Mentoring, and Financial Education & Training — supports designed to build confidence, independence, and everyday wellbeing through skills, knowledge,
and choice.
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

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.

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 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.
