You help your clients.
We do the rest.

Think you need a marketing agency, a virtual assistant, and a paralegal or EA? Think again.

We bring everything your practice needs under one virtual “roof”: outsourced back-office solutions, fractional VA support, and expert marketing services – from strategy to execution.

Our mission is simple: to free up your time and help your business grow — sustainably, and without the stress.

Cultivating Sustainable Solo & Small Practices

A Permaculture-Inspired Approach to Your Growth & Management

Our goal is to help you build a lean, self-sustaining, productive small business
that thrives on client referrals, a stellar reputation,
and engaging, informational content – with minimal effort from you.

How We Help You Grow

(Imagine your business is a garden)

Purpose-Built Websites = The Soil

Your website is your soil. Without healthy soil, nothing can grow.

Too often, websites are built to be pretty instead of purposeful.

Whether we’re creating a new site or reviving your old one, our focus is on delivering a website that feeds your business and helps it grow—organically.

Marketing and Content = The Water

Overhead sprinklers may work for grass, but your business should be more like a native garden: built to thrive with ease, low-maintenance, and naturally resilient.

Think of our marketing and content as drip irrigation: we provide targeted, efficient strategies that help your practice grow steadily without wasting your time, energy, and resources—allowing you to focus on what matters most.

Client Testimonial

“Nancy is extremely knowledgeable about many topics. On top of that, she’s very quick, which makes thought partnership fun, efficient and effective. Working with her has improved my sales confidence, systems and processes, and information sharing.

Nancy is also a natural connector that shares connections and information generously.

—Wendy Fong, Chief Gigs Founder & Seven Seedlings Client

My Seven Seedlings Story

In 2017, I helped my now-husband build a sustainable, successful firm – and I’m proud to say he’s achieved and maintained fantastic work-life balance while continuing to grow.

Post-Covid, my focus has been helping professional service providers (lawyers, consultants, doctors, etc.) do the same. 

What I Do Here

Like you, I’m a small business owner, so my hands are in everything from hiring to day-to-day client support.

Professional Highlights

I’m a rainmaker.

I built a cookie convention from nothing to 12,000 attendees in just 2 years. 

I’ve also generated millions in “Closed Won” deals with companies ranging from startups to titans like Apple and the federal government.

Specialties

  • Revenue generation (sales, partnerships, marketing, conversion optimization)
  • Copywriting & content
  • Talent acquisition & development

My Seven Seedlings Story

In 2016, I worked with Nancy for the first time (on the cookie convention). We wanted to work together again, but, the opportunity didn’t arise until 2021.

Shortly after founding 7S, she hired me to be a Client Manager. In 2024, she offered me the opportunity to join as a partner.

The rest is history!

What I Do Here

Client management, quality control, and everything else involved in keeping the trains running on time.

Professional Highlights

I’ve managed complex petition turn-ins for state-level ballot measures. The effort most recently involved training & supervising hundreds of temps across four states to ensure compliance.

The amount of work and personnel it takes to get a ballot measure to voters is astounding.

Specialties

  • Emergencies & last-minute requests
  • Temp & assistant management
  • Client intake & services
