MY STORY
Hi, I'm Melanie, a neurodivergent Virtual Assistant and spoonie!
Being a Virtual Assistant found me at a time when my body was giving up, and my brain felt like it was falling apart.
As a neurodivergent professional living with chronic illness, I’ve learned that consistency looks different for everyone. Some days your energy feels charged; other days it’s slow.
As I am unravelling my energy patterns, I discovered something important: when we move with our brains and bodies instead of against them, things start to fall into place.
This experience shapes how I support my clients.
The systems I design account for fluctuating energy, changing capacity, and unexpected flare-ups.
And let's be real, they're not perfect, they're still growing (but that doesn't stop me from building a system that supports you!)
