About Me

Helping you live a life where your business flourishes within the lifestyle you’ve envisioned for yourself.

Hey There,
I’m Sophia, the CEO, and founder of The Virtual Pixie

Do you feel a disconnect between your life and your business? Have you ever felt like your business is the side piece in your life? Or even worse, your life is the side piece to your business!

Your life and your business should be one entity

As an observer, a learner, and a very introspective person, I like to sit and process. This processing time helps me spot things that other people can’t recognize. 

Having an innate ability to be highly sensitive to the most minute details allows me to get a holistic view of your business. Which then offers me the capability to identify where systems and processes need to be tweaked, improved, and made more efficient.

Connecting and aligning with your vision and mission allows me to be of higher service to you and your business. In addition, my knowledge and skills enable me to think outside the box to redefine and reestablish boundaries while also making strategic moves to create synergy in your life and business.

For example, I remember working with a client to achieve two goals. The first was to allow for more space in her schedule because she only wanted to work two days of the week, and second, to continue providing high-level support to her clients.

By understanding every aspect of her business, I strategically designed her schedule to allow for this change, which created synergy in my client’s life and business without jeopardizing her income or the high-level service she provided. 

Growing and sustaining a business is hard work. However, I believe in building a strong, durable foundation that will not only serve you today but will continue to evolve as your business grows without allowing quality to slip through the cracks. Therefore, by following my framework and focusing on aligned purpose, we’ll grow a sustainable business that will flourish, together. 

When was the last time someone spent that much time and energy focusing on you and what you need?

I analyze, consult, and guide you to a better way of running your business and a new way of living. By partnering together, you’ll not only revamp your business, but all aspects of your life will transform, including your relationship with time, money, and aligned purpose.

If you want to get clear on your aligned purpose, and start living a life where your business flourishes within the lifestyle you’ve envisioned for yourself, please fill out the form below to see if the work I do is truly a match for you.
