A founder and her VA became co-founders
People kept asking Sheridan the same question: how did you find such a great assistant?
It started when her somatic coaching business took off in the middle of COVID and she suddenly had more work than one person could hold. She needed someone who could take a task and run with it. Not someone who needed managing, but someone with initiative, attention to detail and the kind of ownership that's rare. She found Merissa.
Over the years, Merissa supported Sheridan through the ebbs and flows of her coaching practice, and then beyond it. Other founders who crossed Sheridan's path kept asking that same question. Merissa went on to support a cleaning company, nonprofit foundations, somatic practitioners, VA agencies and even an AI startup. The work was different every time. The standard never dropped.
When AI came in, their capacity expanded again. They could do more, move faster and deliver at a level that hadn't been possible before.
That's when they saw the gap clearly. Founders are stuck choosing between freelancers who need constant direction and big agencies that lose their voice or charge a fortune for the privilege.
Sheridan knows what founders need. Merissa knows how to build and manage a team that delivers it. Together, they built Handled, so you don't have to choose anymore.
