hello and salaam
My name is Ruzaika. Derived from the Arabic verb رَزَقَ (razaqa) this translates as “to provide with the means of sustenance,” and much like my name implies, I strive to help my clients find sustainable solutions to their everyday struggles.
My background is in psychology. While I still am very much invested in finding my voice and growing as a therapist, time and shifting priorities have helped uncover a pretty neat superpower of mine... Lending an extra pair of hands to busy working women, especially therapists, coaches and healers!

manage your projects
give you admin support

design and create content
research, proofread, edit, revise
manage your client intake/diary
...plus much more!
I help healers manage their stress, overwhelm and burnout as they create a work identity that is clear, strong, and reflective of what they are as an entity.
work with me
All arrangements can be customised to suit your needs, but I find that generally 2 hours per week is a perfect starting point if you need just a little help around your business or staying active on your socials.
Think 8 hours saved per month - that's 480 minutes you can spend on what you truly enjoy instead!

Working with Ruzaika has been a transformative experience for my business. Not only did she bring her exceptional mental health content creation and design skills to the table, but she also meticulously crafted comprehensive branding guidelines that perfectly captured the essence of my brand. Additionally, Ruzaika set up my Instagram account from scratch and helped boost my online presence and engagement. Ruzaika is very creative, and it has been a pleasure working with her.
Having had the privilege of working closely with Ruzaika while setting up Flourishing Minds Clinic, I can confidently attest to her outstanding abilities and contributions. Ruzaika has an innate ability to establish rapport with clients, fostering trust and confidence in the services provided. Her commitment to delivering exceptional service has undoubtedly contributed to the overall success of our team.
The breadth of Ruzaika's creativity truly shines in the arena of content creation. Whether it's crafting written materials, designing multimedia content, or conceptualising innovative ideas, Ruzaika has a unique talent for capturing the essence of a message and presenting it in a compelling and engaging manner. Her unique understanding of mental health combined with social media knowledge contributed to building our content strategy. It is NOT always easy to find mental health content creators in the region.
Working with Ruzaika has been an absolute pleasure. Being a small business it’s important to have VA support that is reliable, efficient and responsive, which has been my experience. Ruzaika has supported me with my social media content. She is creative and uses initiative to come up with options. I have enjoyed working with Ruzaika and would recommend her services.
This woman has been an answer to my prayers. I’ve received many compliments regarding my social media since I handed it over to Ruzaika. We make an excellent team. She meticulously acquaints herself with your vision and the culture you’re portraying for your service/business through her excellent graphic design skills. She also has array of of other skills and talents which I hope to explore soon with her.
As an introverted online service provider, I find myself literally leaning away from social media. Ruzaika has enabled me to show up with my carefully constructed content through the beauty of her design skills. She’s taken a huge weight off my shoulders so I can focus on the important things like my clients and building my service. She’s incredibly talented and delivers on every task. I highly recommend her.
After setting myself up in Private Practice I found the admin side of things very time consuming. When I started working with Ruzaika, I got my life back! She has saved me more time than I can count, she's always professional with clients and timely in any task that needs to be done.
She's got a great aesthetic eye too - all of the branded content is on point which encourages even more business. What I've always been impressed with is the quality of the mental health and psychology content she creates. Not only is it in line with my brand, it's researched thoroughly with full references. I don't think think this is common with other VAs as they often don't have that specialism. I feel fully content with leaving my business in her hands because I know the quality is second to none.
I honestly couldn't do without her.
Ruzaika and I worked together to offer mindfulness workshops for teens and young people who are refugees and asylum seekers. She was very compassionate and knowledgeable about how to help the young people both in normal times and then especially so in the increasingly complex and restricted situation of the pandemic. I appreciate her skill in her work and how she brings so much heart to what she does.
I collaborated with Ruzaika to conduct drama therapy workshops and also guided art therapy online for children together with her. She showed profound psychological knowledge, and I found her to be very professional and warm-hearted.
