Hey there, I'm Niamh!


Long before I started, I always knew I wanted to work online and be location independent, far from my standard routine in Dublin that everyone else did.

Because for years my partner Adam and I were in a loop of taking jobs we didn’t care about, saving every cent, quitting, travelling for a few months and then starting over. None of it felt like a long-term life we actually wanted.

In early 2020 we set off on another long trip through Asia, hoping it might spark something different. A week after we landed in Thailand the borders closed.

That unexpected pause turned out to be the break we needed. We stayed in a small town in the north of Thailand and finally put our ideas into action.

We already had years of transferrable admin and client-facing skills, so instead of waiting for the “perfect” plan we launched and by late March our VA business was live.

We made every rookie mistake imaginable and the backend was chaos (something I do NOT recommend), but we learned fast and 7 weeks later Team Virtual was fully booked and earning enough to keep us travelling full-time.

That freedom became our normal and it still is today.

In 2022 I felt the pull to help other women do the same by transitioning into a Virtual Assistant Coach. Since then I’ve coached hundreds across Ireland and beyond to build their own Virtual Assistant businesses and create time freedom and flexibility on their own terms.

My focus to this day is always coaching ambitious women how to build a VA business the right way from day one, along with giving myself the work-life balance that I teach to others.

Because the truth is that..


You're already good at:

  • Communication: Effectively reaching out to clients and managing correspondence.
  • Basic Admin Skills: Handling scheduling, data entry and organisation tasks.
  • Content Creation: Creating basic, engaging and branded visuals using Canva.
  • Managing Projects and Deadlines: Ensuring the timely delivery of client projects.
  • Marketing Yourself and Selling: We all do this in your day-to-day life, no matter how big or small.
  • Social Media: Managing and growing your social media presence on different platforms.


And so many other skills..

But current you just don't know where to start and where to go to turn these skills into paying services.

I will give you the confidence to THRIVE with current your skill set and to learn new ones; so you can start offering them to paying clients, make money online and build the life of your dreams, just like so many of my current and past students have done.

You already have the skills to be a successful Virtual Assistant!

BUT you need the guidance to turn them into a thriving business.

The VA Academy is exactly where I show
you HOW to make this your reality.

I AM READY TO START!

Imagine...

  • Starting your day with a coffee and a long walk, setting your own work hours and having the freedom to travel whenever you desire, all while running a successful Virtual Assistant business.
  • No more missing family moments or feeling tied to a desk. You'll finally embrace a career that adapts to your dream lifestyle and makes you fulfilled every day.
  • You have the time to pick up your kids from school, spend more quality time with them and do more as a family.
  • You have the time AND funds to go on that family holiday that has been on your bucket list for years.

What you'll have by the
end of the VA Academy:

This IS...

  • An actual Virtual Assistant business that's ready to book clients and make money! 

  • Offering services that you love by focusing on tasks that align with your passions and strengths.
  • My proven strategy for landing clients, that so many of my past VA Academy students have used to get fully booked and leave their full-time jobs. 

This can be your reality!

I AM READY TO START!

  • A lifelong community of like-minded women who you can relate to and who are on the same path as you. Myself and these ladies will give you the support, motivation and accountability throughout The VA Academy and beyond!


  • A rinse-and-repeat system for signing DREAM clients who love to have you in their businesses.

1. You will have your VA business set up and launched.
2. All of the back-end parts, personal branding and social media fully established.
