About VA-Zen

Built from inside the VA world.

VA-Zen was founded by someone who began on the frontline as a virtual assistant, grew through mentoring and leadership, and understands what strong support really requires.

Built by someone who has done the work.

VA-Zen grew from Miriam’s progression from frontline virtual assistance at Prialto into mentoring and team leadership, then from direct client support at BeeEpic to leading the after-hours support team. Seeing the work from both sides shaped a practical belief: strong support depends on dependable results for the client and clear expectations, guidance, and room to grow for the VA.

VA-Zen is an independent virtual assistance business. References to Prialto and BeeEpic describe Miriam’s professional background and do not imply affiliation, endorsement or partnership.

Why work with VA-Zen

A clearer way to bring support into your business.

Define the role clearly

Discovery turns your workload, priorities, schedule, tools, required capabilities, ownership, and expectations into a clearer support profile before matching begins.

Work within your systems

We review the platforms and tools already involved in your work so the right experience and onboarding needs can be identified from the start.

Choose the right level of support

Support can be structured as dedicated full-time, dedicated part-time, flexible hourly assistance, or a managed team, subject to fit and availability.

Start with structure

Access, tools, recurring tasks, key contacts, priorities, and communication rhythms are established so the working relationship begins with clarity.

Adjust as needs change

As responsibilities, hours, or business needs change, the scope or team structure can be reviewed and the most suitable available adjustment considered.

Meet the founder

Meet Miriam, Founder of VA-Zen.

Miriam’s experience spans direct client support, mentoring, team leadership, and after-hours operations. It gives her a view of virtual assistance from both sides of the working relationship.

“I know what strong virtual support requires because I have done the work, mentored other VAs, led teams, and supported clients as their needs evolved. VA-Zen was created to bring that experience into every match and every working relationship.”
Miriam Maina Founder, VA-Zen
