Transform Your Skills into a Profitable, Flexible, Fulfilling and Life-Changing Career
Have you ever dreamed of having a career where you are using your skills in an environment that is congruent with your Holistic interests and passions?
A virtual assistant (typically abbreviated to VA, also called a virtual office assistant) is a
self-employed professional who provides administrative, technical, creative and/or
customer service assistance to clients from their home office.
The rewards of being a GAHP Certified VA reach far beyond financial freedom.
You’ll enjoy working from home, flexible hours, highly appreciative clients and being a
part of this holistic shift happening on the planet!
From: Shelley Riutta, President and Founder of the Global Association of Holistic Psychotherapy
Dear Friends,

- Are you frustrated with the daily grind of going to an unfulfilling job every day?
- Do you feel unappreciated for all your hard work?
- Do you feel like your true skills and creativity aren’t fully being utilized in your current job?
- Do you long for more freedom and flexibility in your schedule—where you can set your own hours—when and how long you work rather than being dictated by a 9-5 job?
- Do you dream of doing work that has deep meaning and is supporting positive change on the Planet?
- Have you ever dreamed of having a career where you can work from home, set your own hours and work with other heart-centered people such as yourself?

Shelley is this one of a kind individual that is the perfect blend of angelic spiritual guidance and beautiful loving support and has an amazing business and marketing savvy that catapults both your spiritual and business life.” ~ Linda R.
As founder of the Global Association of Holistic Psychotherapy (GAHP), I know the importance of having an awesome assistant. But, I’ll be honest, it’s hard to find an assistant who is already trained! That’s why I developed this new program – The GAHP Virtual Assistant Certification Program.
This Program is a MUST if you are:
Just starting out as a virtual assistant or considering expanding your current business and want to learn what’s proven to work (and what to skip) in today’s virtual assistant market
Already established as a virtual assistant and want time-saving tools and strategies to streamline your marketing so you can comfortably and confidently grow your list, attract more clients and increase your income
Looking to quickly grow your client base with heart-centered entrepreneurs (the fastest growing segment of entrepreneurs!) and learn the latest administrative skills to make you indispensable to this fast-growing and lucrative niche
A virtual assistant seeking networking, collaborating and joint venture opportunities so you can grow your list, increase your visibility and open the door to exciting, new opportunities

Ready to be handed done-for-you template detailing every step of how to profitably take your administrative skills and talents online
Looking to take advantage of using today’s technology from the comfort of your own home to communicate and exchange information without worrying about continental boundaries or time zones (so you can work with clients ALL over the world!)
Excited to learn the secrets of what makes a virtual assistant stand out, gain recognition and earn a stable and profitable income
Want to enjoy working from home, flexible hours, highly appreciative clients and being a part of the holistic shift happening on the planet

Shelley shared her personal experience enabling me to avoid costly, time wasting mistakes. By using the knowledge she has given me, my exposure has expanded and so has my client base.
Plus now I am transitioning to only working with private pay clients and from what I learned from Shelley it is happening faster than I could ever have imagined. And it wasn't that long ago that I was stuck working at an agency where I felt so stuck and stagnant" ~ Ellen D.
Get ready to be handed the step-by-step systems and learn the specific skills that will allow you to transform your skills and talents into a Profitable, Flexible, Fulfilling and Life-Changing Career
But first, let me share with you how this all got started...
I’m Shelley Riutta, the Founder and President of the Global Association of Holistic Psychotherapy (GAHP) and years ago when I first started my Holistic Psychotherapy Practice I was feeling SO overwhelmed by all of the tasks I needed to do to grow my Practice.
I was working so many hours seeing clients and doing all of the tasks I needed to do to create a successful, thriving Practice. I LOVED what I was doing but it was starting to be too much. I was not having enough time to have FUN (which those of you who know me know this is a priority for me) PLUS I didn’t have the time and space to let my creativity flow for new programs to help more clients and really expand my Practice.
Then I remember a comment my Mom had made to me earlier in the year she said, “Honey make sure you get enough help in your Business so it can expand and you can have time for yourself, that was a mistake I made in my business and I got burned out and was never able to grow my business in the way that I wanted.”

Here is my Mom, Gini and me (I am the one on the right ☺)
I remember how hard she worked because of not getting enough support and I realized I was repeating the same pattern. The light bulb in my mind went on big time and I set an intention to hire an assistant. The moment I hired her it was like a huge weight lifted and the Joy level in my life and business skyrocketed practically overnight.

Here is a picture of my first assistant, Kristen. Isn’t she adorable?
Which is where YOU come in...
The problem has been to find Virtual Assistants who are trained specifically in the areas we teach in our Programs through the Association:
- The systems and services we use
- The specific technical skills that are needed
- The customer support tools/systems (customer support in the Holistic realm is MUCH different than in a more traditional business)
- PLUS someone who gets the Holistic Mindset and the unique way Holistic Practitioners create and build their businesses that is VERY different than more traditional businesses.
We get requests literally every day “How can I find a VA to support me in my business?” and more specifically “How do I find a VA like Colleen? Colleen is our amazing VA here at the Global Association of Holistic Psychotherapy.

Here is a picture of Colleen and I at the Certification Training
in Florida in February, we had SO much fun!
It was these daily requests that gave Colleen and I the idea that this program was SO needed. Here is the feedback we received from the members of our Programs when we announced we would be starting this Program:
“Fabulous! I would hire a VA trained by you in a heartbeat”
~Dyan
“I am very grateful for this and I hope the VA program goes well, what a great idea :)”
~Jane
“I am thrilled you and Shelley are working on a VA training program.”
~Veronica
“I need one now!“
~Kelly
They see the value of having a Virtual Assistant but they have not known how to find one that would be perfect for them and their business………….until now!

"I started working with Shelly about 1.5 years ago, and I am amazed by the progress! Without Shelley, my business still would be an “idea” and not a reality. The energy of setting up my business and establishing an on-line presence is paying off! I was able to attract opportunities to my business that I could never have imagined when I started with Shelley. Recently, I have set up a contract that will make me on track to earn $250,000 over the next year. Talk about a money-breakthrough! And breaking barriers!" ~ Chelsea H.

Here are some of the Success Stories from our GAHP Members- many of whom are looking for a trained Virtual Assistant!

“I'm very happy to be a member, only a few weeks in and I already feel like it beats any other membership I've had! I'm loving the audio recordings I've been listening to, it feels like exactly what I need to hear. I plan on listening to them for repetition value as well.” ~ Jordan Prebys, Texas
“I went through Shelley’s classes and then it evolved into the mentoring program. I just followed through because she was so helpful with everything and provided guidance. Every time I ran into something that seemed like a pitfall or a problem with starting my own private practice or personally with my own fears, that would always be the next topic we covered. When Shelly talked about forming the GAHP it just seemed like that was the next step and where I was ready to go. Things were unfolding as far as support, education, guidance and connection.” ~ Brenda V, Wisconsin"

“I knew when I saw the information on Kendall’s site that Shelley’s organization would be along the same lines and that I could respect it, and also the holistic aspect very definitely caught my eye.”
~ Barbara H, California

“I decided to become a member of GAHP because it’s the piece of the counseling world that I’m missing from my graduate classes. My thought was that when it comes time for my internships and practicums, I’d love to be able to learn from people who practice holistic psychotherapy, and what a better way to get in touch with this group of people than by becoming a member.”
~ Kristin N, Wisconsin
~ Veronica C, New York
