Our Philosophy and core values

Contessa Concierge & Personal Assistant Services is committed to the happiness, well being, and satisfaction of our clients.

Our promise: We bring love, intention and care to everything we do.

Our philosophy is to take an integrative, hands-on, and holistic approach to how we provide services to our clients by addressing the pain points and challenges in all aspects of their lives. We stay open to new perspectives and endless possibilities in order to best serve our clients.

Our agile mindset gives us the ability to strategically and creatively adapt our services to meet our clients' shifting priorities and needs. Our signature blend of essential and specialty services also reflects our philosophy. Which is to personalize and deliver premium quality services in a way that is closely attuned to our clients' needs, values, preferences, priorities, experiences, aspirations, and goals, and that best supports, improves, and enhances their life, vitality, and overall well-being.

Our success is defined by our ability to authentically connect with our clients in a meaningful way and to work with them to create positive changes and achieve results.

As global citizens and stewards of this planet, we have a role to play in caring for, protecting, and serving people, animals, the environment, our natural resources, and our planet. We have a deep reverence and respect for all living creations, and we honour the wisdom, beauty and generosity of Mother Nature’s bounty.

We carry out this responsibility in our everyday lives, in our relationships, with the clients we serve, and in the communities in which we live, work, play, and volunteer.

We believe that embracing life’s challenges will lead to opportunities for personal transformation, growth and learning, and ultimately, to living a more harmonious, joyful, intentional, and purposeful life.
