Shine Business Academy

helping amazing people grow amazing businesses

Our Story

Welcome to Shine Business Academy – where amazing people build amazing businesses

Shine was born from a big vision and a bold belief : that women deserve to create lives and businesses that light them up – on their own terms.

 

After years of juggling family, business, and life’s challenges, our founder realised that the journey to entrepreneurship is never just about strategy – it’s about confidence, clarity, and community. That’s why Shine exists: to support women not only to start a business, but to grow one that reflects their purpose, values, and brilliance.

 

We know what it’s like to dream of something more – more freedom, more impact, more joy. But we also know how overwhelming it can feel. That’s why Shine brings together expert guidance, practical training, and an uplifting community – so you never have to figure it out alone.

 

Whether you’re just starting out or scaling up, Shine is here to walk beside you with the tools, encouragement, and momentum you need. We blend business strategy with heart, mindset with marketing, and structure with soul – because we believe building a business should feel as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.

 

Shine Business Academy is more than a membership – it’s a movement. A place where women reclaim their time, step into their power, and turn their ideas into income and impact.

 

We’re so glad you’re here.

 

It’s your time to shine 

  

About us

Hi, I’m Lorna and it is really great to meet you. 

 

I live in Scotland with my husband, young daughter and spaniel and I’m a business owner, baby development specialist, trainer and business coach.

 

I’ve always been entrepreneurial and loved starting ‘projects’ from selling rose petal perfume as a child for charity to our neighbours through to now running hundreds of classes online and in person, selling out large scale events and supporting thousands of new parents. I currently run two businesses, a baby development one and shine business academy. 

 

My passion is supporting people, helping new parents with their little one’s development or helping new entrepreneurs start their own ‘projects’ taking it from an idea stage right the way through to making money that supports and gives them a better quality of life. Being in charge of your own time and income is life changing and I’d love to help you get a balance that works for you.

 

I LOVE learning and I’ve been fortunate to learn from some of the best! I frequently crew events for Tony Robbins, have been interviewed by Stu McLaren, have trained for Women In Business and have presented at many universities, colleges and business accelerators on lots of different topics including sensory development, marketing, running a business, designing a life you love, starting side hustles and running events. 

 

I’d love to introduce you to our team and support you to start and grow your own amazing business!
