Studio-to-Systems:
The Autumn Method
Meet Your Mentor!
Meet Theresa!
Self-taught beauty artist. Former mental health professional. Six-figure business owner. Queer Black woman.
I’m the founder of Autumn Artistry and the lead mentor behind Studio-to-Systems: The Autumn Method. I built my business from the ground up — no shortcuts, no handouts — while navigating real burnout, broken systems, and a deep desire to build with soul.
With 15+ years in mental health and over a decade in beauty, I bring a trauma-informed, culturally conscious, and strategy-forward approach to mentorship. This isn’t just about being more productive, it’s about building something that feels good and works for you.
You’re not just getting a mentor. You’re getting someone who deeply understands what it means to carry creative dreams, cultural expectations, and entrepreneurial ambition all at once.
Let’s heal the hustle. Rewire your backend. And help you grow with ease, without ever dimming your light.

FROM PAST SUCCESS STORIES
I knew I wasn’t just getting mentorship—I was stepping into a space rooted in authenticity, experience, and real support.
Theresa saw the vision for JAYROOTS Wellness before it was fully formed and guided me every step of the way. She helped me launch my entire brand from scratch—from structuring my offers and refining my messaging to building my Squarespace site, setting up email workflows, and creating visuals that actually reflect my story and purpose. She even helped name my programs and pull together branding that feels like me—not a template.
This isn’t your average “boss babe” coaching. Theresa brings 15+ years of experience in social work and a decade in the beauty industry to her mentorship, and you feel that depth in every session. Her approach is patient but firm, creative but grounded, and always focused on sustainable growth, not burnout.
If you’re a beauty or wellness pro—especially a creative of colour—trying to build something with heart and systems that don’t crumble when life gets lifing, Autumn Artistry Academy is it. I’m walking away with clarity, confidence, and a brand that books.
Forever grateful
- JAY, FOUNDER OF JayRoots Wellness
Why Studio-to-Systems Is Different
Most business coaches teach from the outside in.
We start at the root — your artistry, your lived experience, and your capacity.
This isn’t just strategy. This is self-trust.
It’s systems that fit you, not a one-size-fits-all script.
It’s mentorship that understands the emotional and cultural weight you carry — and honours it.
With a 20+ person team supporting your technical skills, systems, and creative growth?
You’re not just investing in expertise.
You’re stepping into a circle of care, representation, and legacy.
Because your success should never come at the cost of your peace.
