Freelance support for ethical entrepreneurs and conscious companies
Is your to do list growing but you don’t have the time to nurture and nourish your business?
Do you need a skilled second pair of hands to help your business flourish?
Are you spending too much time on admin and missing out on your all-important leisure time to reset and refresh?
Is your enthusiasm for your business wilting because you have to focus on the day-to-day tasks?
Running your own business is hard work <understatement> and there are things that needs to be done, boxes to be ticked, emails to be answered. Sometimes there just does not feel like enough time in the day and your to do list keeps feels relentless.
This is where I step in, Wonder Woman style.
You can have the opportunity to work one-to-one with an experienced, dedicated Assistant. Namely The Plant-Powered PA. Find peace of mind knowing that your to do list is quietly being taken care of, in a professional and timely manner.
By delegating your administrative, operations and marketing projects to me, you can refocus on the bits you love, the stuff you’re good and the things only you can do so that your business will bloom.
If you are interested in finding out more – no obligation and I promise not to spam you – then get in touch in one of the many ways modern technology provides.

What My Clients Say
Catherine Gladwyn
Owner, Catherine - Online and Delegate VA
Chrissie has been doing some copywriting for me for a few months and oh my goodness! She got into my tone of voice immediately, it’s amazing. The drafts she sends through I have to think ‘hang on, did I write that or did she?’.
I can’t say what Chrissie has written for me exactly, we all need our secrets, but know that it’s good and it’s taken a HUGE task of thinking and doing off my to do list.
James Hall
Barrister at Hardwicke Chambers
Chrissie has been invaluable in helping me and my clients with ongoing litigation, particularly in the preparation of complex e-documents in the brave new world of virtual/remote hearings.
She is very well-organised, proactive and efficient and I can happily recommend her services to others.
John Watkins
Consultant Solicitor
Chrissie brings so much to my business and means I am far more profitable as I can now concentrate on what I do best with the peace of mind of knowing my admin, financial admin and diary are all in the very best hands.
Simply brilliant!
Nathan Vidini
Employment Law Specialist, AltraLaw
Christina is quite simply the best PA I have ever had the pleasure of working with.
Proactive, hard working and conscientious; she is a great asset to any team fortunate enough to have her.
Ceri Bater
Owner, Bater Law
I can 100% recommend Chrissie Monnelly. She has made an immediate impact at Bater Law. Chrissie focuses (and actually enjoys!) those tasks – admin, invoicing, archiving – that are necessary but take us away from client work.
It makes such a difference knowing you can leave these to her and the fee earners can then focus on what they do best – looking after our clients.
Sarah Tamsin
Freelance Content Creator
Chrissie has excellent attention to detail and she understood my business requirements straight away.
She is well-organised, meticulous and extremely skilled. It’s been a pleasure working with Chrissie and I highly recommend her as a VA
