Denise did a very professional job on my reasonably large document which involved formatting and proof reading. It was also ready ahead of the time requested. After sighting it, I decided to make one or two subsequent changes where Denise was more than happy to oblige as part of the original contract. Therefore due to my experience, I highly recommend her in the capacity of which was required. - Sally Holmes 20/02/2025
Why Me?Why hire me instead of someone else?Being a Simplicity & Self-Care Advocate for nearly a decade, I practice this way of living in all facets of life, including my working life and this means I take a “Less Is More” minimalist approach to my business, incorporating the principles of the slow business movement - quality over quantity.For customers, this:✅ Eliminates choice
✅ Significantly reduces anxiety
✅ Enhances customer experience
✅ Customers know they are dealing with a real person, not an autoresponderFor me, it:✅ Helps avoid wasted effort and being overworked
✅ Keeps costs down
✅ Helps me focus my efforts and maximise my results
✅Significantly reduces stress and anxiety which is a boost for my own mental healthI want to emphasise that I do not compromise on quality by taking on "rush jobs". My commitment to the principles of the slow business movement in addition to my own self-care principles means that I prioritise not only my own wellbeing but the wellbeing and satisfaction of my clients and I cannot rush through projects that require attention to detail and dedication.
