Wanderful Academy

Let’s fast forward a few months from now…

You have decided you’re going to be a Virtual Assistant
You chose the services you want to offer
You created your website and…

You see a Freedom Call come in.
And another one.
And another one.

So many people want to hire you.
5 signed clients later, you realize that everything you’ve built is allowing you one MAJOR THING.

FREEDOM.
That kind of freedom where you don’t have to worry about rushing into work– you can eat your breakfast, journal, look out the window, and you have nowhere to be than exactly where you are.

Here’s the truth– becoming a Virtual Assistant has changed my life. I have way more freedom and I make more now than I did when I worked for a boss.

It’s allowed me to change the lives of SO MANY.
It’s allowed me to go shopping with my best friend during ‘office hours’.
It’s allowed me to end my workday at 3 pm and read in the sun.
It’s allowed me to go on a road trip with my dad.

Simply put…

It’s allowed me freedom.

I’ll never forget I chose to start my own business.
I had so many doubts.
I had no idea how to start my own business.
What got me to the other side of those doubts?

I chose myself!
I made the decision that I can do what makes me happy.
That I can wake up with so much energy every morning. That I can work from home, having slow mornings reading at my kitchen table. That I can go on a workation. 

All without having to change me. 
All without having to be more of an extrovert.

Becoming a Virtual Assistant was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made and changed my life.
And I want that also for you.

But you don’t have to do it alone, babe. I didn’t when I started my VA business. I had help because I had no idea. So let me be there for you. I created the Wolfpack Membership with lessons on everything Virtual Assistant, a community where you can ask me all your questions, bi-weekly Q&A sessions via Zoom, and monthly training sessions via Zoom. 

Are you thinking HELL YESSSS I want this? DM me

Menstrual WISE Coaching

👉 PMS-related presenteeism costs UK businesses an average of 8.4 lost days per year?

That's a staggering loss of £673 in earnings per employee, totalling a massive £6 billion per year for UK businesses!

And all because there is a simple lack of education and support for an experience women and those with periods have no choice or control over.

Without support available, they are left with no option but to ‘go through the motions’ at work, whilst battling through cramps, headaches, nausea and fatigue!

This reality leaves employees feeling frustrated, unsupported, undervalued and burdened by the expectation to endure discomfort to fit into workplace norms.

This lack of understanding sends a clear message….

👉 Their needs are overlooked and empathy is glaringly absent.

Things must change! We can do better! 

And this is why I am passionate about being able to change the conversation around being in a body that bleeds.

PLUS menstruation Education delivers massive ROI:

- Enhanced workforce productivity, leading to a reduction in costs associated with presenteeism and absenteeism.
- Decreased expenses linked to high turnover, as employees feel valued, respected, and supported, fostering trust and loyalty within the organisation.
- Attraction and retention of valuable talent, as individuals are supported through their cycles and into peri/menopause.

This inclusive approach creates a positive work environment that cultivates long-term commitment and engagement. Everybody benefits!

Progressive businesses that prioritise their employee well-being know that their staff are the most valuable asset they have!

And by supporting them they cultivate a better work culture that allows everyone to thrive. 

- Culture is elevated,
- The workforce is empowered, 
- Those with cycles will feel seen and respected,
- Those without cycles will help their teams to feel supported.

That is simply an ROI that can't be ignored!

Breaking workplace menstrual stigma with Bloody Marvellous Menstrual Workshops, to boost productivity & profit, and create an inclusive environment your staff would hate to leave! 🎓Educator & Speaker 🧠 Autistic ADHDer

👉 PMS-related presenteeism costs businesses an average of 8.4 lost days per year!

That amounts to a loss of £673 in earnings paid per employee.

Because so many women and people with periods are made to feel that allowances for symptoms of PMS and Menstruation simply aren't acceptable.

And so they battle through cramps, headaches, nausea and fatigue to ensure they receive the same professional courtesy as their male counterparts.

➡️ This reality leaves employees feeling frustrated, unsupported & undervalued.

>>> Burdened by the expectation to endure discomfort to fit into workplace norms.

This lack of understanding sends a clear message….

👉 Their needs are overlooked & empathy is glaringly absent.

Which does NOT foster an environment people WANT to work in or for! 

You risk losing valuable talent if employees seek environments where their needs ARE acknowledged & supported.

And the consequences for businesses? Amounts to billions!

PMS alone results in a staggering loss of over £6 billion per year in the UK, stemming from the simple lack of support for an experience women and those with periods have no choice or control over.

👉  It's my mission to dismantle the shame & stigma that exists around menstruation. 

To work with progressive businesses, like yours, who are committed to employee wellbeing. 

>>> Menstrual health education is an essential part of building a supportive, thriving workplace environment.

By offering in-house Training & Workshops….

🩸 My goal is to empower and elevate the potential of businesses and their employees by enhancing their understanding of menstrual health. 

And no! It's not easy to talk about! 

But as a Certified Cycle Coach with 3 years of working with business owners? 

>>> I have developed fun, relatable and informative training for every BODY!

Not only to increase awareness and knowledge for everyone?

👉 But also drive positive change within businesses.

By creating a culture of inclusivity and empowering employees to work with their cycles, you can:

> Retain your top talent
> Elevate workplace culture
> Optimise productivity by up to 50%
> Pioneer new-wave leadership in your industry
> Reduce costs that high employee turnover creates.
> Reduce costs that presenteism & absenteeism create!

So that your staff feel -

- Motivated
- Supported
- Respected
- Understood

Create an inclusive, equitable work culture that inspires, builds trust and sets the stage for long-term success - with employees that WANT to work for you! 

Contact me now and show the world what it means to be a company that cares!
