For those who want to launch
themselves into business success
on their own terms.
You may be feeling one (or more) of these things…
> You’re tired of being chained to a desk watching other people live it up travelling the world while working online
> Your corporate office environment makes you feel UNMOTIVATED and STUCK
> You feel overwhelmed at how to start as a VA and you’re unsure of the steps to take
> You’re sick of working on someone else’s schedule and being limited in how much money you can make
YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE!
READY TO FAST-TRACK YOUR WAY TO BECOMING A VA?
Trust me, I know what it feels like when your career is not fulfilling
I know how it feels to be in a role that is not fulfilling, going to a job day in day out that you’re not feeling passionate about or inspired by and it’s difficult to muster enthusiasm and bring your ‘A’ game.
The VA Academy is designed to help you take back your life and regain control. It’s purpose is to give YOU flexibility in your work life once more. It focuses on honing in on your skills and creating a business doing what you love and feel passionate about.
The good news is you don’t have to navigate your way through this alone, paying thousands of pounds in training fees only to receive generic and impersonal programmes. You don’t have to trawl the internet for solutions and snippets of training and most importantly you don’t have to learn alone – not now that you’re part of our VA Academy!
I absolutely adore running my own business, I want you to love being successful in your business too. There is nothing I like more than seeing those I have trained progress and thrive, I consider this to be a true reflection of what I do.
Fast track your way to become a VA!
Can you imagine how it would feel to do what you are passionate about every day?
Working your own hours, on your own terms. What would life feel like if you could set your own rates of pay.
How would your business benefit if you had the confidence to increase your pricing structure to earn what you deserve?
What would life look like if you didn’t have a boss, if the book stopped with you and you chose your own working routine?
Heading to the gym at 10am after the school run, finishing work at 4pm and not having to be stuck in traffic, going for breakfast with friends then working from a cafe for the afternoon.
Or if you are like me having that independent location lifestyle. Can you imagine being able to work from anywhere in the world?..

Testimonials
It has been amazing journey with Lindsey, I have signed up to level 1 and 2. She has helped mentor me with my first client; regular 1:1 support on what’s app and phone calls. It’s been a huge help having the support from her.
I first heard of Lindsey in 2020, but it wasn’t until last year that we truly connected. On Women’s Day, she announced dates for her academy, and I immediately signed up. Over the course of six weeks, I worked closely with Lindsey, ensuring I attended all the calls, in-person meetings, and even the occasional work sessions over a glass of Rosé.
Lindsey’s guidance and mentorship were instrumental in shaping my own VA journey. Through her stories and experiences, I gained invaluable insights into what it takes to succeed. She showed me how to balance my 9-5 job while building my VA business, and today, I’m proud to say I’m running it full-time.
I can’t thank Lindsey enough for her encouragement and support. If you’re considering becoming a VA, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to Lindsey. She’s the best mentor you could ask for!
Not only is Lindsey a fully supportive mentor, her honesty and openness with regards to her own personal VA journey, encouraged and inspired me to follow my own VA path. I love her down to earth approach and zest for life.
From the first call I had with Lindsey, I knew she was the person who was going to take me out of my comfort zone, yet support me and help me to achieve my dreams. I certainly wasn’t wrong; Lindsey and her Virtual Assistant programmes are all you will ever need to become a successful VA. Lindsey is a fantastic mentor with a wealth of experience and knowledge in so many different areas. Having completed the VA Academy, I can honestly say Lindsey’s passion and dedication is second to none. Lindsey has an invaluable business network and throughout the VA Academy brought in different people from that network to share their knowledge. Lindsey is incredibly supportive and always has a solution to any problem you may encounter. I have never met Lindsey however after just 5 months I feel like I have known her for years! Lindsey Thank you so much for showing me that dreams really can become reality!
Lindsey has been the perfect coach for me to get me where I am today. Her knowledge and enthusiasm for the VA industry has motivated me and I have somewhere I aspire to be. She is honest and supportive and someone I will continue to work with. I felt I had a great connection with her and the more I knew about her the more I could resonate, and could empathise with some personal experiences.
Thank you Lindsey for connecting with me and supporting me on my journey.
Lindsey is such a fantastic coach! Her wealth of knowledge is second to none, and the information and guidance she provides throughout the whole academy is absoluteley amazing. Before I joined the Academy I was so under confident, but with her skills and coaching she brought this out of me, and I would never have got this far down the line without her! She is such an inspiration and I would highly recommend the academy to anyone who is thinking of becoming a VA, or needs that extra bit of coaching. I feel like I have come so far with being a part of the academy, and nothing is any trouble for Lindsey, she is also so friendly and approachable. The support is always there for you too, whether you need advice on something, or to run something by her, she always responds quickly. I feel like I have learnt so much over the 5 month course, and finally feel that I have hit my career goal! Thank you so much Lindsey for giving me the push I needed!
I have just completed ‘First Steps in becoming a Virtual Assistant’ with Lindsey and have really enjoyed every minute. The topics on the agenda were well thought out to give a great insight into what it takes to set up as a VA and the best tools and methods to use to achieve this. Lindsey is friendly, positive and really helpful, not just on the live sessions but also outside the course too. Emails or messages are responded to quickly and she’s great with encouragement when you are unsure about something. I have enjoyed learning all about the world of the Virtual Assistant and am happy to say that it has confirmed to me that this is something I want to do. Thanks Lindsey!
Lindsey is an excellent coach. She always goes the extra mile and makes sure her team she coaches understands and grows with every session. I would highly recommend Lindsey if you would like to learn more about the Virtual Assistant industry. She is not only knowledgeable about the industry but also displays an extreme passion for the industry. You will not make a mistake if you enrol for her courses. Thank you, Lindsey, for making a difference in my life.
Lindsey’s wealth of information and step by step approach to starting a Virtual Assistant business, helps to bring the pieces together while providing a warm and nurturing place to learn and ask questions. If you’re justing starting your VA journey or are in need of a tune up, Lindsey will help to give you a fresh perspective that will enable you to reach your goals.
Following a 90 minute call, I’d learnt so much about how to advance my business! My business wasn’t ‘broke’ so I wasn’t looking for a ‘fix’, but the info and ideas I gained in those 90 minutes were priceless! Lindsey has innovative and up to date knowledge in systems and processes that really do bring results, be it gaining clients or simply gaining valuable time! We mapped out a plan and put in to place! Lindsey is an ‘over-giver’, she has so much knowledge, enthusiasm and commitment to her clients, that I don’t know what I’d do without her. Everyone needs a Lindsey!
I arranged a 1-2-1 session with her to talk though how to set up a wait list document for clients who wanted to book my 5 week program. As well as the wait list I gained knowledge on how to further this process using google forms which could also support with my invoicing, email database and weekly client updates. This has helped make life so much easier for me and in turn made my business run so much smoother on a day to day basis. Lindsey is always there on the end of the phone if I need help, she is knowledgeable, enthusiastic and genuinely a lovely person.
Lindsey was amazing coaching me on social media. I had basic knowledge at the time and during our x4 1-hour sessions I learnt so much, from creating a 30-day social media plan, involving strategy, timeline, time management and data collection. I was able to implement this through our sessions, and it’s helped me because we set an efficient system in place that I still use to this day.
