About Jessica Riesenbeck and Gretchen Christy

I am Jessica Riesenbeck. I am a mom of two, a wife, a Virtual Assistant and a Life Coach. I could probably call myself a professional juggler with all of the balls I’ve always got in the air.

I’ve owned my own VA business since July, 2004. And, I started my business at that time so that I could make my family my top priority, but still work-doing something I enjoyed, while adding to our household income. At the time I never imagined how much I would love being a VA.

Over the years I’ve worked with many different types of people in different types of professions. I’ve worked with a Celebrity Speakers Agent, a Special Events Marketer, several rock star Life Coaches, and a best selling Author, Speaker, Columnist for O, the Oprah Magazine. Not only have I worked with these people, I’ve also become great friends with them. I’ve learned so much from each and every one of them. Because of all that I’ve learned and continue to learn I decided to also become a Life Coach, so that I could share my love of wanting to help people.

In my spare time I love hanging out with my family (my husband, two kids and our two dogs) and friends. My family is my heart! I like a good book and a good comedy-where I can just enjoy and no thinking is required. I love music & will dance until my feet will dance no more. And, I am told that I’m funny, fun to be around, spirited and passionate. I give my all to everything I do and I try to find the humor and have fun in everything, as well.

Creating theAuthentic Virtual Assistant Business Building Program on Monday mornings at my kitchen table with Gretchen has been a dream come true. Gretchen is my sister-in-law and she is my best friend. To work with my best friend on a project that is so much fun and so special to both our hearts is awesome!

We can not wait to work with you and watch you spread your wings, creating the life you dream of. We are here as your teachers, your support, your coaches, and your cheerleaders. We are here for your success-You Can Do It!

I am Gretchen Christy (def.-Mother, Wife, Virtual Assistant (VA), Teacher, Sister, and Companion).

I am a Kick Ass VA and absolutely LOVE my job! I can’t believe I’ve been doing this now for over four years and it still jazzes me as much now as it did when I first began. As a VA, I find for me there’s nothing better than being able to choose the clients I work with and the work I enjoy doing most. As the co-creator of the
Authentic Virtual Assistant Business Building Program (AVA) Training Program I’m able to share my passion and teach others how to create an authentic VA business for themselves and learn to live the life they desire. Both of these avenues provide fuel for my soul. I sincerely believe everyone must enjoy life to its fullest and for me, being able to provide VA services to my clients and teach others how to become successful VA’s makes my heart smile.

My current and past clients consist of many different lines of work. I have worked with a phenomenal Small Business Coaching Expert, an extraordinary Mentor to Women , a dental hygiene coach, a magical woman who can help you discover how to Follow Your FEEL GOOD, and a life coach who hammers your fear right out of you! My clients are my friends and we support one another in everything we do. I’m so grateful for each of the friendships I’ve created and all I’ve learned and continue to learn from each of them.

I am very grateful and appreciative for all the wonderful things I’ve been given and continue to receive in life. Having the opportunity to pursue my career as a VA and making the Authentic
Virtual Assistant Business Building Program Training Program a reality is like living a dream. My life is GOOD!

I am happily married to my high school sweetheart and best friend Shane. We have two amazing children who are nothing less than busy! My children are my world and teach me to practice patience every day. ;-) I enjoy spending my free time on our farm with family and friends.
