Four reasons to work with a VA
1. Time is saved
- You'll have more time for family, friends and hobbies.
- Tasks get done quicker with no faffing about.
- You don't need to learn 'yet another thing'.
2. More bookings and sales
- Your visibility will improve.
- Your audience will grow.
- You'll have a better conversion rate = more paying clients.
The lead magnet has had loads of sign ups. Two have already signed up as new clients. I don't think that would have happened without the sequence you put together. A current client has signed up to the 5 step guide and told me how valuable she has found it, too.
3. Productivity increases
- Important things at the bottom of your to-do list get done.
- You can focus on the work you love and on improving and growing your business.
- You can provide a better, more efficient service for your clients.
4. Your mental health and life will improve
- Enjoy a better work/life balance.
- Remove the risk of burnout and feeling overwhelmed.
- Demonstrate that you're 'walking your talk' to your own clients.
Four reasons to choose me
1. You'll feel supported
- It can be lonely as a sole trader doing it all yourself. You're not on your own - I'll be your online buddy.
- Enjoy supportive communication - I take an interest in you as well as your business.
- We learn from each other and have a laugh along the way!
2. We can kick ideas around
- You'll have a fresh pair of eyes on your business.
- I share simple strategies, tips and advice.
- You can pick my brains and make use of my knowledge and training.
A client who has just finished the lead magnet sequence (after a discovery call) contacted me today to book in for 1-1 in September. He was uncommitted when I spoke with him and 5 days later he's onboard!!
3. Your stuff looks better and attracts more clients
- I'm passionate about helping you and your business to shine online.
- We'll aim for consistency (rather than perfection!) and I'll share ideas for improvements to your online presence.
- We'll make sure your stuff looks professional and conveys your commitment to your clients.
4. I know the industry
- After years of working with coaches and therapists I know what works and what doesn't.
- I'm a trained holistic therapist and I appreciate the value of your work.
- All my services include proofreading and editing, resulting in client-focussed copy that cuts through industry jargon so people really understand how you help them.
Mission
To make techy things (and your life!) easier by:
- Being the go-to VA for coaches and therapists.

- Helping you to stay focused on the work you love.
- Providing effective, step-by-step services with clear pricing.
- Guaranteeing a jargon-free zone.
- Being honest and open (read my answers to some frequently asked questions here).
Who I work with
I tend to work with UK and Irish female coaches, therapists and consultants.
I love to support ‘people who help people’.
My clients follow their vocation through their business. They want to gain visibility online, grow an email list, attract and communicate with their ideal clients and make more bookings and sales but don't have time to learn new stuff or do boring/bamboozling tech chores.
They are ready to delegate to someone down to earth and trustworthy who will guide and support them and get it done with zero stress.
About Jackie
I’m based in the North East of England and work with UK and Irish-based clients.
Myers-Briggs type: ISTP – ‘The Mechanic’ / ‘Trouble-shooter.’
Astrology: Capricorn sun / Cancer ascendant / Leo moon
Human Design Type: Manifestor - 'micro managers' are probably not going to gel with me.
Personal stuff: I'm a Geordie woman in my late 40's, and I've been married to a Yorkshireman since 2005. We have two daughters.
I manage a local heritage charity as well as run Jackie's Virtual Bureau. I escape from screens when I can. I enjoy hiking in the hills or walking in the woods, pottering about at home or in the garden.
I love catching up with friends and family, reading, aromatherapy, comedy, theatre, tarot, astrology and old-fashioned peace and quiet.
I'm interested in holistic health and have a range of therapy qualifications including body massage and Usui reiki.

Professional story
I'm a university graduate, with approaching 30 years of experience spanning all sectors. I’ve had a varied career which started out in countryside management. I've had positions in executive support, events, programme and project management and training. I've experienced promotion and redundancy. I love playing a supportive, practical, 'hands on' role. I've also been a holistic therapist.
I’ve managed people, events, projects, systems, software and offices. I’ve been a web designer for several years as well as a digital marketing VA. All of my services draw on my design and tech experience.
Jackie’s Virtual Bureau was established in the summer of 2018 and has grown in response to clients needing experienced, reliable website and online marketing support for their new or scaling business.
Keeping my skills fresh and relevant is important and I regularly invest in my own professional development. This means you benefit from my training and qualifications without having to learn even more stuff yourself. I'm a Mailchimp, Mailerlite and Kajabi specialist and experienced in WordPress, Squarespace and many other website platforms and software. Most of them are alike but over the years I've built up the knowledge and experience to guide clients on what is best for them...and what isn't.
As a part-time VA, I get booked up quickly, so whether you need support now or further down the line (or even if you’re just exploring), reach out for a chat now.
Security and peace of mind
Data protection is a fundamental part of email marketing - that's why I am registered with the Information Commissioner's Office. I also have professional indemnity insurance.
