Client Testimonials

“Mandy has been my operations and business manager for more than seven years.”

She is the structure guru of Deva Alchemy. She has the rare ability to deeply understand, contribute to, and embrace our collective vision for the business, and craft the most effective ways to bring that vision to life. 

Her organisational genius, meticulous eye for detail, the rigour and precision she brings to everything she does; her research skills, dedication, and ability to steer a project from conception to completion are, quite simply, phenomenal. She is an outstandingly skilled communicator, a creative and generous collaborative partner, that one person who keeps everyone on our team focused and working harmoniously together. 

Her work is often invisible, because she does it without fanfare, but my business functions beautifully because Mandy is at its operational helm. 

My clients and students love her. I love her. The other members of my team love her. 

Beyond her considerable talents, skills, knowledge and experience, are qualities of character that are both rare and precious: her integrity, intelligence, spiritual depth, and immense heart. She embodies kindness, truth, trustworthiness, and the spirit of generative order. I trust and rely on her implicitly, and am so grateful for her presence on my team and in my life.

“I became the successor, CEO and legal owner of Deva Alchemy Academy in September 2023, having purchased the business from its Founder, Hiro Boga.

The entire transition process — not to mention my inaugural year as the new CEO — was expertly supported by Mandy.”

Her skill, talent and passion for Operations and Project Management is second-to-none. I could not run this business without Mandy, full stop.

I have never, in all my 20 years in business, met someone as organised, efficient and unflappable as Mandy. She’s always looking ahead, months in advance, and putting frameworks in place that mean our company launches are always spacious and structured, with no stress or urgency.

Mandy has one of those brains that fill me with awe (!) and deep, deep gratitude that I get to have her on my team. She truly is my right hand woman and I couldn’t imagine life or business without her by my side.

“Mandy, has elevated my business”

and brought a sense of elegant flow to the ‘backend’ running’s of my online world. She makes me feel supported, and held.

Most importantly with Mandy holding space for my client enquiries or admin, I feel calm while I am away from work: I trust everything and everyone is in good hands.

I first met Mandy through another coach of whom I was a client. In every interaction, Mandy impressed me with her kindness, professionalism, and efficiency. Inspired by her stellar service, my coach and I discussed the idea of incorporating an assistant into my own coaching practice. Unfortunately, Mandy was not available at that time, prompting me to hire a different assistant. Despite a six-month effort, the arrangement didn’t pan out, and I found myself once again in need of support.

During a subsequent coaching session, my coach hinted that Mandy might now be available. Thrilled by the possibility, we connected, and Mandy agreed to join my team.

“Since then, she has skillfully managed all operational work and has built a strong rapport with my clients, ensuring they feel fully supported. Mandy’s seamless integration into my practice has been invaluable, and I am deeply grateful for her dedication and the positive impact she has on my business.”

I simply cannot imagine working without her.

“From chaos to clarity,”

a backlog to clean slate, in turn leading to the capacity to do more of the important things. That is what having Mandy’s support creates. She is direct, responsive, responsible, fun, and smart.

Please don’t hire her away from the rest of us.

“Mandy is a Rock Star.”

I was half-heartedly looking for a new Virtual Assistant a couple of years ago and we met during an online class. I wasn’t looking there for a VA but there she was!

Mandy is so much more than an assistant. Among other things, she is extremely knowledgeable about social media, webinars, course launches, the back end of websites,  all the nitty gritty that goes into setup and analyzing results and much more. All the stuff I’m clueless about. 

She is also kind, easy to work with and responsive, which is one of the most important qualities in an associate to me. Grateful to have Mandy helping me to run my business and not sure what I would do without her.

“Mandy is teaching me how to be part of strong team…”

and that I can trust another both to lean on and to care about me and my business — as if it were her own. She is unbelievably talented, reliable and knowledgeable in a high quality, quiet and unassuming way. She is a cherished partner and has helped me to imagine and turn toward what’s possible, knowing I don’t have to do it alone.

Mandy has been guiding me into the 21^st Century, helping me to build a solid foundation and functional back-end to my business, preparing it for growth, while encouraging me to use new tools and resources at a pace I can embrace and in a way that helps me to feel supported and confident rather than shamed or silly. Slowly but surely, she’s helping me to learn the things I need to know and let go of the things she can and wants to do for me so that I can focus on business development, client support and service delivery.

Mandy is wise beyond her years, gentle in her collaborations, experienced, talented and willing to learn and innovate more if it will support me. She brings expertise and maturity to the table. She also lets me know when something is outside of her scope while offering ideas about how to address that thing that neither of us is best at. She has every resource needed at her fingertips, or will find it.

Mandy has clean and clear boundaries, which has reinforced the importance of these for me. She has a vision for her life and work and supports those of us who have the same for ours. I feel like she is by my side all the time, and even though we live in different countries and have never met in person, I feel like she’s right here, responsive and ready, helping me to shine and be there for my clients and the people I’m meant to serve. This fills me with gratitude and joy.

I hope we will be collaborating for a long time and recommend Mandy to anyone in need of an OBM/VA who is in it with you for the short- and long haul.

“I needed support helping ideal clients find my services.”

And it was so frustrating because I knew I can help so many people have a better relationship with food, if they could just find me.

I was nervous hiring somebody, because I am so used to doing everything myself.  But working with Mandy was incredible, she was so fast, reliable and masterful at her craft!  It would take me two days to do what she can in just minutes.

I am so relieved to know that I don’t have to do this all by myself and there is an EXPERT who is also so NICE to help me with the parts of my business that I just don’t know how.  If you are thinking about hiring Mandy, do it! She knows her stuff so you can focus on the parts of the business that you are good at and enjoy!
