So, whether you're a visionary artist, a psychedelic entrepreneur, or a passionate esoteric practitioner, let me be your secret weapon behind the scenes.

About Me
Hey Friend, I’m Maria.
I’m your cosmic companion and virtual support specialist, ready to weave magic into your esoteric and conscious journey.
With two decades of professional experience in customer service, support, and office management, I've discovered my true calling – supporting conscious entrepreneurs like you, who embrace the weird and wonderful in all its glory.
I find solace and joy in tarot readings, diving deep into metaphysics, and championing alternative mental wellness practices. In 2020, I quit drinking after a long struggle and I write extensively on Medium about my sobriety journey.
I’m also an editor for 3 large, growing publications there as well. So, I guess you could say I really love to proofread.👀
As your ally, I thrive on adapting to your unique needs, balancing both the mystical and practical aspects of your business. I'll be the one running things smoothly on the backend while you focus on shaping your conscious brand.
Whether you're seeking captivating content, reliable admin support, or a touch of enchantment in your business endeavors, I've got your back. Let's co-create an extraordinary journey and make some cosmic waves together!
If you resonate with all things unconventional and crave a virtual support specialist who truly understands your niche, let's connect and unleash the magic within your esoteric venture! 🌟🔮
A few random fun facts about yours truly:
Solo (and slow) travel is a huge passion of mine, with Greece being one of my favorite places to go.
I’ve bungee jumped off one of the highest commercial bungee jumps in the world in South Africa.
I’m an avid gardener and have 42 houseplants (shhhh…it’s not too many).
I’m a Gemini Sun/ Leo Rising.
I’m an Enneagram #9: The Peacemaker.

To put it simply, a VA (virtual assistant) is an extension of you. Someone who is going to work carefully in your business as if it’s their own. Someone who you can hand off all the tedious work that comes along with owning a business.
You want to focus on growing your business, not being stuck for hours every day doing all the admin or writing tasks. That’s where I come in!

Let’s talk about it! General admin encompasses a broad range of things. For 20 years, I’ve worked in customer service, support, and office management. I’ve also worked at an Executive level, handling high-profile clients with care and confidentiality.
Because of my 2 decades of experience, there’s not much I can’t do, or can’t figure out how to do. Working in fast-paced, corporate environments taught me quickly how to adapt to ever-changing technology and customer needs. To this day, I carry my multi-tasking and quick learning abilities with me in everything I do.
Book a free call to discuss what you’re looking for. If I don’t have the bandwidth for it, I have a network of other highly skilled VAs and copywriters that I can refer you to.
