How Cumbria Accelerator helped Chakra La UK turn vision into a clear business direction
From creative ideas to a clear plan
Tara Linkowska is the Founder of Chakra La UK, a complementary therapy business focused on helping clients through holistic treatments and wellbeing practices. With a strong personal vision and a distinctive offer, Tara had built the foundations of her business, but was looking for support to shape it into something more structured and commercially focused.
While her ideas and passion were strong, translating them into a cohesive business model proved challenging. Tara was balancing creativity, operations and decision-making, often without the clarity or structure needed to move forward with confidence.
Through the Cumbria Accelerator programme, Tara worked with her advisor to take a step back and look at the business more strategically. The focus was on turning ideas into a clear, actionable direction that felt both authentic and commercially viable.
“It sometimes felt like I was carrying the whole vision alone and trying to work out the next best step without enough clarity.”
3 key priorities were identified:
- Strengthen the overall business model and structure
- Sharpen brand messaging and positioning
- Help Tara build confidence in decision-making and future direction
Turning ideas into practical action
With support from her advisor, Tara was able to organise her ideas, challenge areas that needed more focus, and translate creative concepts into clear business actions.
The approach was supportive and grounded, helping Tara develop a stronger sense of direction while ensuring the business remained aligned with her vision.
This included refining how her services and offers were structured, improving how the brand is communicated, and creating a more strategic approach to planning next steps.
Building confidence and momentum
Since receiving support, Tara has developed a clearer business framework and a more focused approach to how she presents Chakra La UK. With stronger structure behind her planning and decision-making, she now has a solid foundation for future growth, partnerships and new opportunities.
“The most valuable part was having experienced, objective support that helped me bring clarity to a business that is very personal to me… I now feel far more equipped to make decisions and move forward with greater purpose.”
Chakra La UK is now positioned with clearer structure, stronger messaging, and renewed confidence to continue building a sustainable and purposeful business.
