Based in the beautiful city of York, I'm a values-driven Virtual Assistant with a passion for organisation, creativity, and helping businesses thrive. When I'm not supporting clients, you'll find me exploring local galleries, visiting the theatre or spending quality time with my husband and son.

I fell in love with virtual assistance because it perfectly combines my natural talent for organising chaos, with my passion for creativity and helping others shine. Like many of you, I know what it is to feel overwhelmed, pulled in every direction, and guilty that you’re not performing perfectly in every aspect of your professional and personal life (particularly as a woman). And I know what it is to want to maintain control over your style, vision and values.

At the core of my practice is getting to know you and your unique vision. Whether you're a passionate entrepreneur wearing too many hats, a creative visionary needing a practical partner, or a small business owner trying to increase your presence, I genuinely care about preserving what makes your brand special. Your style, your voice, your values – they matter deeply.

With a background in theatre, literature, art and education, my heart has always been in creative pursuits and community-centred values, which means I bring both practical support and artistic insight to your projects. From crafting social media that captures your authentic voice to designing materials that make your brand sparkle, I pour care and attention into every detail.

As a fellow small business owner, I know the courage it takes to build something meaningful from scratch and how vulnerable it feels to invite someone else into that sacred space. That's why I approach each client relationship not as a service provider, but as a thoughtful collaborator who genuinely cares about your mission as much as you do.

I want to help you succeed, grow and thrive in exactly the way you want to.

Hi, I’m Mary (she/her)

What if you could finally stop being your business's bottleneck and start being its visionary?

If you are passionate about your business, but feel that you’re losing yourself within it, why not drop me a message and we can chat about a way forward that feels exciting, innovative and empowering for you?

My Core Values

  • Creativity

    Everything I do comes from a place of curiosity and innovation; bringing fresh perspective to your business. If we’re developing your brand, it should feel exciting and unique. If I’m crafting your social posts, your followers should be desperate to hear more. If I’m designing your event, your guests should say, “Wow!”

    My creative approach transforms ordinary business challenges into extraordinary opportunities, allowing you to stand out in your market.

  • Balance

    Your business is important to you. You’ve poured your heart and soul into getting it just right but now you’re running on empty. You’re snapping at your loved ones, you’re working 18 hour days, you’re losing sight of who you are outside of this company. Your business can’t thrive if you can’t think straight, and that’s where I come in. Delegating those tasks that sap your time, energy and innovation, allows you to recharge your batteries and reconnect with your business.

    Finding balance is finding joy.

  • Inclusion

    In my business, everyone is welcome. I am passionate about social justice, breaking down barriers and ensuring everyone is included. No one gets left behind. If you have an identity or need which you feel may (or may not!) impact your business, please feel safe communicating this with me and I will ensure my work is accessible and reflective of your uniqueness.

    I have a keen interest in working with businesses that are passionate about their community, social justice, women’s health or the arts.
