HOW I CAN HELP

Three services.
A clearer way to work.

Start with the area that needs attention. We’ll agree on the priorities and build practical support around your business.

01 / FOR CONTRACTORS & SERVICE BUSINESSES

Out on a job.
Still on top of the office.

Scheduling & Office Systems

When you’re in the field, calls and scheduling can pile up. I help put a clear process around incoming messages, callbacks, site visits, and estimate follow-ups, then hand it over or keep supporting your schedule each month.

Explore the sample Field Office ↗

02 / FOR NONPROFITS & SMALL TEAMS

Keep your mission moving.
Bring order to the work.

Organization, SOPs & Processes

When processes live in different files or one person’s head, everyday work gets harder. I help organize documents, map the steps, clarify who owns each task, and build procedures and onboarding checklists your staff and volunteers can use.

Tell me where your team needs support ↗

03 / FOR BUSINESSES & NONPROFITS

Keep the details together.
Move the work forward.

Program & Project Support

When a program, project, or event has a lot of moving parts, I help coordinate timelines, track tasks and deadlines, organize training, and follow up with vendors and stakeholders so everyone knows what happens next.

Tell me about your program or project ↗

Live answering or phone routing uses a separately configured provider. We confirm coverage, responsibilities, and any software costs before setup.

SUPPORT THAT FITS YOUR PRIORITIES

A little support.
A clearer way forward.

Choose the hours you need and focus them on one service or combine support across all three.

Choose a 5-hour Starter, 10-hour Support, or 15-hour Systems Setup package. We agree on your priorities, deliverables, and schedule before work begins. Prefer ongoing help? Monthly scheduling support is available after setup.

5 hours$200

A focused review, setup plan, or simple tool for one priority. Field Office setup is not included.

Need more support afterward?

Additional 5-hour blocks are $175 after purchasing the 10- or 15-hour package. Starter clients can pay the difference to upgrade: $150 more to reach 10 hours or $300 more to reach 15. Upgrade from 10 to 15 hours for $150 more. Package payments count toward the upgrade; the One-Problem Support is separate.

Starter: $200 upfront. Standard engagements: 50% deposit to reserve your start, with the remaining balance due before final handoff. No payment is collected through this form.

ONE PROBLEM. A PRACTICAL NEXT STEP.

One-Problem Support · $150

Hands-on help with one specific scheduling, organization, or process problem that can be completed in less than five hours.

A separate fixed-price service, not a five-hour block or consultation. We confirm fit and scope before starting. Larger projects and Field Office setup need a support package. This purchase does not count toward package upgrades, additional-block eligibility, or monthly eligibility.

ONGOING SCHEDULING SUPPORT

We can set it up.
And keep it moving.

If you’d rather stay focused on your work than manage the schedule yourself, I can continue supporting your office each month after setup.

A monthly service for the day-to-day scheduling and follow-up your business needs, with agreed work windows and a clear time budget.

MONTHLY SCHEDULING SUPPORT

Available only after purchasing the 15-hour Systems Setup package.

One-time setup: $500 · Ongoing support below is billed separately.

$450/ month

15 hours of managed support each month

  • Appointment and calendar management
  • Customer scheduling inquiries and scheduled callbacks
  • Visit confirmations and rescheduling
  • Follow-up on open inquiries and estimates
  • Weekly progress and time-use update

The $500 setup builds your system; the monthly service manages scheduling and follow-up afterward. Monthly support requires the full 15-hour Systems Setup; the Starter and 10-hour package do not qualify on their own. Extra support is available in approved 5-hour blocks for $175.

Month-to-month, billed in advance. Work windows, response targets, renewal, cancellation, and unused-hour terms are agreed in writing before starting. Live call coverage and phone/software costs are separate.

MEET YOUR CONSULTANT

Hi, I’m Delilah.

I help small businesses and nonprofits turn busy, behind-the-scenes work into systems that make the day easier.

I’ve helped grow programs serving more than 2,000 people, built operational systems, and coordinated teams, schedules, and resources through periods of growth. I’ve also created SOPs, improved onboarding, and turned complicated processes into clear, manageable steps.

I bring that same practical approach to Gaia’s Hands Consulting. I listen to what you need, work with the way your business runs, and help put the right tools and processes in place. My goal is to leave you feeling more organized, more confident, and ready to keep things moving.

Let’s talk about your business ↗

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

Before we begin.

What is the One-Problem Support?+

For $150, get hands-on help with one specific problem that takes less than five hours. This fixed-price service is separate from the hour blocks and does not count toward upgrades or ongoing support eligibility.

What is the Starter Session?+

Five hours to review one priority and create a setup plan, simple tracker, or checklist. The Starter does not include Field Office setup.

Can I combine services?+

Yes. The 15-hour package can combine services around your agreed priorities. The 5-hour Starter focuses on one small priority and does not include Field Office setup.

Is Field Office included in the Starter?+

No. Basic Field Office setup and handoff starts with the 15-hour Systems Setup package. We confirm the scope before work begins; phone services and paid software are separate.

How do additional hours work?+

Clients who have purchased the 10- or 15-hour package can add 5-hour blocks for $175 each. Starter clients can pay the price difference to upgrade; moving from 10 to 15 hours costs $150 more. The minimum additional purchase is 5 hours, and all extra work needs your approval.

Does the minimum guarantee every task will be finished?+

We’ll agree on a realistic scope first. Time needed varies by the work, your existing systems, and access to information. You’ll receive time and progress updates.

Can you manage my schedule each month?+

Yes. After the separate 15-hour Systems Setup, monthly scheduling support is $450 for 15 hours per month. It covers scheduling, confirmations, rescheduling, and follow-up during agreed work windows. Extra time requires approval in 5-hour blocks for $175.

Does monthly support include live answering all day?+

No. We agree on work windows and response targets within your monthly hours. Full-day live answering, phone service, automatic messaging, and software subscriptions require a separate arrangement.

Can I choose handoff instead?+

Yes. After setup, you can run the system yourself with instructions and training, or choose monthly managed support.

Is this bookkeeping or legal advice?+

Services focus on organization, documentation, and coordination. Specialized accounting, tax, and legal services are outside this offer.
