Holistic Health Virtual Assistants

The challenges of being a wellbeing solopreneur

Running a holistic health business can be a very fulfilling career pathway. Not only do you have the opportunity to help people improve their wellbeing, you also get to experience the personal freedom associated with being your own boss. But sometimes the day-to-day tasks which are involved with managing a small business can distract you from what matters most - working directly with your clients. This is where having your own virtual assistant can prove invaluable. By giving administrative work to a specialist holistic health virtual assistant, you can save time, lower your stress levels, and feel more at peace, knowing that your business is in safe hands.

Multi-tasking and your practice management

As a holistic health practitioner, you always put optimising your clients’ wellbeing first. However, it can be hard to do this when admin work, marketing, and client communication are taking up so much of your time. Balancing these tasks with your client appointments can make you feel exhausted and can hold back your practice’s growth. Many practitioners feel stressed by the multitude of tasks needed to run a successful business. This can cause them to overlook important things like engaging regularly on social media, creating helpful content, or even having time to look into new holistic health practices.

Running a holistic health practice takes up a lot of time. Think of all the tasks you have to do - managing appointments, responding to emails, changing schedules, social media engagement, blog posts, uploading information to your membership programme, and so on. This can take up many hours of your time each week. You might easily find yourself going round in circles, and never really getting the chance to sit down, and being able to create a deliberate plan for your longer-term practice growth. An unorganised system for managing these tasks can cause extra stress for you, and may negatively impact your ability to provide a consistently high standard of care for your clients.

Virtual Assistant Services for Holistic Health Practitioners

Hiring a Virtual Assistant for Your Holistic Health Business

A holistic health virtual assistant is a specialist in meeting the specific needs of your clients. They know how important it is to keep client information private. They also understand the common conditions that clients seek help for, know how holistic therapies work, and can communicate how you help in a way which will support the growth of your business.

By passing on tasks that don’t need your direct attention, you can pay focus on the aspects of your practice which need your specific expertise. This includes providing your direct client services and expanding your practice.

Streamlining administrative tasks to focus on client care  

Administrative tasks take up a lot of time for any solopreneur or small business, and this could be better spent by you being more proactive within your health practice. You may find it much more effective to outsource routine tasks such as:

Marketing Images: We have an assistant who is also an accomplished artist and can design your social media or website images for you.  So, if you want a custom pack of social media images created on Canva, then we can help.

Inbox Management: Your assistant can go through your emails, remove spam, and reply to important messages in a way which is professional and offers a high level of insight into how you can help.

Content Creation: You can also use your assistant to help you create specialist resources which will help you to support your clients more effectively.

Web Research: If you want to check out useful online resources for your clients, get links to scientific papers, or complete any other tasks which require time and research skills, then your assistant can help.

Task Organisation: Your specialist assistant can manage your daily tasks, like organising client appointments, professional outreach, newsletters, and uploading website content. This keeps everything in your practice running smoothly, letting you focus on your client work.

Bespoke Hours: We usually offer blocks of virtual assistant hours which you can simply book as and when needed. If you need a regular assistant, then please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Outlining the Virtual Assistant Process

Initial assessment to understand your needs

Our journey starts with an assessment of your requirements, which is completed by Daniella.  This is where we can learn about your holistic health business and you can let us know how you need your assistant to help. You simply put your request through in as much detail as you can.  If we have any questions, we will pop these through to you, and once we have a clear idea of what you need, we'll get started.

Customising services to fit your holistic health practice

We know that there is no single way to help every holistic health practice.  So we make our services fit your practice's unique needs and wishes. Tasks can include admin work, graphic design, social media management, talking with clients, scheduling content, or conducting research.  Our aim is for your assistant to support your business needs as effectively as possible, so that you can spend your time working with your clients.

Time frames for completing work

We usually aim to complete your tasks within 7 working days following your payment, and the written confirmation of your requirements. In most instances we will complete your work earlier than this whenever possible.

If you have an urgent workload, please contact us prior to making a payment in order to check the time frame first - thanks

Specialist assistance - available when you need it

We appreciate that most healing practitioners usually want to access support now and again, so this service is usually provided on an ad-hoc basis. So, when you have occasional tasks that you need help with, you can simply book blocks of time according to your current needs.  Then simply re-book again when you have another project which comes up.

If you would prefer to have a subscription for regular monthly support, you are welcome to book that too - please contact usto discuss your requirements.
