Virtual Assistant for people who want to sell their services, not their soul.
Online business support for authentic humans who push back against the hustle.
I’m a UK-based VA working with small business owners to streamline their administrative tasks and nurture their business growth in an authentic, values-aligned way.
If you’re looking for a VA, it may be because you…
✧ find yourself dedicating excessive time to social media tasks and administrative duties, longing for more moments devoted to connection and playing in your ‘zone of genius’.
✧ feel a little lonely working from home by yourself and crave connection and collaboration to reignite that spark you get when you’re in other people’s energy.
✧ yearn for increased time freedom to indulge in the activities you are passionate about.
✧ are frustrated that you end each day with more work than you started with.
✧ feel a constant sense of overwhelm and stress.
Well, luckily for you - I’ve worked with many clients who felt the same before they started to work with me. Now they’re making their business work for them.

She is reliable with a close attention to detail and just overall a wonderful person to work with."

My Core Business Values
☯︎
Authenticity
Authenticity is something that took me a while to find. I spent so many years trying to be good enough, to fit in, to be better, to be other peoples idea of successful, and in doing so, I lost my sense of self. I’m happy to say that I found my way back though. Totally accepting of my imperfect humanness.
❀
Compassion
I’m someone who will help you meet your deadline by analyzing your workload to help you prioritize, rather than encouraging long hours and pushing you to burnout. If you’re feeling resistance to some tasks, I’ll encourage you to take time to explore why. If you’re low on spoons, I’ll respect your boundaries and crack on with tasks, using my initiative.
☮
Integrity
It’s super important to have integrity, especially as a solopreneur / small business owner. The consistency between my words and actions matter to me. This is how I sleep soundly at night (well, if my cats allow it, that is 🙄). I work hard to earn your trust and never take that for granted.
It’s hard to whittle it down to three, so I’d be happy to discuss my values and also learn about you and your business values in a call.
You can book here.
I take a flexible, human-led approach to all the services I offer, making them fit you and your business.
I help my clients to feel…
✧ Supported and not alone
✧ Inspired and creative
✧ Free to spend more time doing the things they enjoy
✧ Unstuck and motivated
✧ Empowered
