Layers: meet Delphine Ingelaere - a story of conscious intentions and uplifting boost

Let me think for a second… how did I meet Delphine?

I believe it all started on Instagram, back when I was still running my Sweet Pamplemousse shop. We instantly clicked and followed each other for some time, until we finally met in real life at a London café, where I delivered a set of bilingual cards she had ordered. That coffee catch-up gave us the chance to chat properly and connect beyond the screen.

Delphine Ingelaere is a business and mindset coach helping women entrepreneurs boost their ideas and their business. She specialises in supporting sustainable, product-based brands and spent over 20 years in London before moving back to France with her family. She’s now based just outside Paris.

A few years ago, I had the joy of working with her as my business coach - her company is called Heedful Coaching, and her practical, hands-on approach was exactly what I needed. So when she later asked me to revamp Heedful Coaching’s visual identity, I was genuinely delighted. It’s always special when someone you’ve worked with in one capacity trusts you with their own brand.

These days, we stay in touch through her monthly online coworking sessions,, which always a lovely space to meet like-minded individuals and get things done. And if you’re a French speaker (or reader), I highly recommend her weekly newsletter, Le Courrier des Créateurs, it is full of motivation, thoughtful tips, and energy boosts for your business.

Delphine is one of the most supportive, inspiring women I know, and I’m so happy to share her Layers with you.
