NOT YOUR AVERAGE VIRTUAL ASSISTANT

Adaptable and friendly Business Support to help you run your business and find more joy.

My mission is simple:

be a helping hand for self-employed women (and non-binary folks too) who are out there making the world a kinder, healthier, more compassionate place.

I work with wellness coaches, therapists, nutritionists, pilates / yoga teachers, and nervous system educators — blending seamlessly into your business, tailoring my help to your needs, your budget, and where you’re at in life. So you can keep showing up for your clients, while I take care of the rest.

SOUND GOOD? LET'S CHAT

As well as offering general business support, I’m here to help you build a business that fits beautifully around your life.

My clients are soulful, self-employed women and non-binary business owners who pour so much into helping others live well. I help you keep doing that, with less overwhelm and more ease.

Here’s some of what I love to do:

Guide you through planning your maternity leave, so your business keeps humming while you take time to rest and nest (and help you feel supported when you’re ready to ease back in).
Adjust your business foundations to flow with life’s big transitions — whether that’s menopause, motherhood or simply craving more spacious days.
Create simple systems that stop things slipping through the cracks, so your business feels lighter and more organised. Need to simplify your client onboarding? I’ve got you.
Offer down-to-earth mentoring if you’re feeling stuck, lost, or just need a sounding board who gets it.
Build beautiful, personality-packed Squarespace websites that truly reflect who you are and the impact you want to make.
Bringing business owners together, building community and creating aligned business opportunities.

It’s not just about ticking tasks off a list. It’s about helping you build a business that feels gentle on your nervous system, honours whatever season of life you’re in (whether that’s the “work from bed era” or my personal favourite, the “cat bothering / afternoon nap era”), and still makes the impact you dream of.

Client Testimonials

“Heather has saved my life in my business a few times. She moved all my courses from teachable to thrivecart making something that could have been unbelievably stressful into something completely seamless. She is reliable with a close attention to detail and just overall a wonderful person to work with.”

Jo Hutton, Newcastle Yoga School / Happy Yoga Newcastle / Happy Yoga Community
"Heather is incredible! She offers a very personable approach to the VA experience. You are rest assured that not only does she take great pride in ensuring her work is of the highest standard, she also deeply cares for her clients and their projects, and because of this she has that little something extra I don’t think I would have found with anyone else. She has offered me incredibly insightful suggestions on the things we have worked on, that I wouldn’t have otherwise considered in my project, without being forceful or imposing. I could write all day about how helpful she has been to me, not only professionally, but also personally!"

Hannah, Mind Wellbeing CIC
“I asked Heather if she thought it was a good idea for me to use [Notion], and whether she could set me up. Little did I know, she would absolutely change my systems for better! I was closely guided through the whole process, and taught how to use the intuitive platform she'd built for me. She made sure it was simple but highly effective, and even had the time to build out a client portal template for me too, which I have had SO much good feedback on. Overall, both myself and my clients feel so much more clarity about the projects we're working on together. I've now gone away and built myself a whole personal Notion system too - proving that Heather helped me break through that overwhelm and make sense of it all in my own language!”

Bec Morris, Brand Consultant
“Heather isn’t just a VA she is the right hand woman in your business! She is organised, supportive, full of ideas and so passionate about supporting other female business owners create impact. She makes things feel at ease, is the best sounding board for ideas and will offer insights into your business that you may not have seen! So grateful for her support, her passion and her organised and efficient way of working that’s helps both me and my clients feel supported.”

Laura Phelan, Self Image Specialist
“Heather is human centred, and personable, and also knew about my industry which was a bonus. She is extremely thorough, and we worked alongside each other for a couple of months whilst she learnt the ins and outs of how to do the things I needed help with. Heather’s support has been invaluable to allow me to fully relax on my maternity leave knowing my business is in good hands and that she will reliably update me and contact me with appropriate tasks. Heather is transparent, honest, and will be clear with what she can and cannot do. I have full trust in her. She is timely, professional, and thorough. I’m so pleased to have found Heather and would recommend her to anyone who needs a helping hand in their business!.”

Kat Bithel, Nude Nutrition
“I cannot believe how lucky I am to have Heather as my VA. She is not only incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful and fantastic at the work she does, she is an all round wonderful human to be able to spend time with in my business.”

Nicola Salmon, Fat-positive Fertility Specialist
“Pre-Heather, I was in a state of overwhelm and paralysis. I was juggling a lot alongside my work and the accumulating anxiety and exhaustion (I'm AUDHD) was smothering my confidence and ability to get anything done. From the start, Heather really listened to me in terms of what I struggled with and what I needed. She introduced me to systems and adapted them for me to help with organising, prioritising and completing tasks, saving time along the way. I have been able to relinquish tasks my brain couldn't face or fathom. Heather has enabled me to do the work I want to do, that I'm best at and to tap back into my creative side. And she completely revamped my website! Our weekly co-working sessions are amazing. No matter how I show up, Heather meets me where I'm at. Her emotional support has brought back my calm and restored my self belief."

Mel Wakeman Neuro-Affirming Non-Diet Nutritionist
“I am deeply grateful for the incredible support and guidance provided by Heather over the last 6-months. As a psychotherapist navigating the challenges of rebranding, launching a new website and creating my own resources, I found Heather's thoughtful approach, attention to detail and encouragement transformed what felt overwhelming into an inspiring and enjoyable process. Thanks to Heather's skills and insight, I now have a brand and new resources that truly reflect my vision and values. I highly recommend Heather to anyone seeking a reliable, creative and compassionate partner in their journey.”

Lizzie Holt, Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor and Mindfulness Teacher
“I honestly don’t think I would manage being a pretty full time mum 2 kids under 3 whilst running my business without Heather. Whether it be having someone to bounce an idea off, some admin I just don’t have the time at my desk to do or something I just need taken off my plate, Heather is always compassionate, intuitive and bloody brilliant! I couldn’t be more grateful.”

Chloe Clarke, Finally Free Academy
“I am so glad I found Heather to support me in setting up my small business. When you work with Heather, you are not just getting a really knowledgeable VA, you are also getting a compassionate, warm and caring person who is genuinely interested in the success of your business. And more importantly, cares about my wellbeing. Heather is fantastic at gently and compassionately pointing me away from the 'hustle' and back towards what is important to me, which is slowness and a pace that is right for my nervous system. I highly recommend Heather and her services. Thank you Heather."

Katie Sayles Trauma-Informed Yoga teacher, Somatic Coach & NMC registered Mental health Nurse
“Working with Heather has been brilliant from the start. She has excellent communication skills and is able to listen to what you need. If you're looking for a VA who is able to take direction but also use their own initiative then Heather is for you. As a solo business owner it can be scary to allow someone else to take on some of the work as you're used to doing it your way, but Heather has excelled at every task I've given her, meaning I can relax knowing things are in safe hands! I would recommend Heather to anyone and everyone.”

Jo Hutton, Happy Yoga Newcastle (1st Testimonial, Sept 2022)
“Heather set up a Notion workspace for me and has made me make sense of organisation I didn't even know I needed! 10/10 communication, service and completely did what she said she would, when she said she would. Highly recommend!”

Wendy O’Beirne, The Completion Coach
“I would not hesitate to recommend Heather's VA services. We have been working together for a few months now and I am so pleased I found her! She is efficient, attentive, kind and compassionate. She has helped me so much with everything from setting up booking systems, updating my website, advising on business growth and so much more - she really is an amazing VA.”

Lauren Flack, InBalance
“Heather helped me out with a few projects that I needed assistance with as I didn't have the space or time to complete the tasks myself, I was blown away by how organized, knowledgeable & communicative Heather is, at each step of the way Heather checked in with me to ensure I was happy and was super flexible when things needs tweaking. It was an absolute dream having Heather support the project, I highly recommend Heather for those who are looking for someone who is super friendly, communicative and has a wide knowledge base.”

Jasmin Chew, Medicine Woman • Wisdom Keeper • Alchemist
“I’ve been doing all the admin and marketing side of my Yoga business completely alone for the last 6 years. It’s amazing to have Heather’s support because it expands my capacity to do what I love (teaching yoga) whilst Heather keeps me organised behind the scenes. She’s helped me finally get my website up and running which I never had time to make happen before, keeps an eye on the bigger picture and reminds me not to over pack my schedule! Highly recommend.”

Jasmine Sara Yoga Teacher
“I was extremely happy with the support I've received from Heather! Hiring her was the right decision at a time of my business where I needed urgent operational support and she's been impeccable with meeting my needs and expectations fast and flawlessly. Heather is not just a great team player, but also super personally invested, friendly and approachable which makes working together so comfortable and enjoyable. I can only recommend Heather and would refer her to everyone in my network in need of a solid business operational and admin support.”

Margherita Sgorbissa, Fair Force Consulting
