My story.
I am an empathetic Professional Organiser transitioning from a successful career in communications to support people to live lighter day-to-day lives.
With over 30 years of hands-on experience in organising homes, businesses, and estates—through personal life transitions, relocations, bereavement, and downsizing—I bring a deep understanding of both the practical and emotional aspects of decluttering and simplifying.
My mission is to help others create space for a more mindful, intentional and happy life.
My experience includes:
FAMILY & LIFE-STAGE ORGANISING: Like many, I juggled a full-time career and parenting - and through this time created sustainable home systems for children, my partner, and extended family. These changed through the years as our space changed due to divorce, remarriage, accommodating blended families, and finally empty nesting. These are all great opportunities for a fresh take on your space.
DOWNSIZING & RELOCATION: In the past five years I have managed two international moves between Africa, Australia and the UK reducing my own possessions by 70%. Setting up a new home is something I could really support you with.
GRIEF & ESTATE MANAGEMENT: Losing and managing the estate of a close friend, and then also navigating the sudden loss of my husband in the past decade has provided me with first hand understanding of how grief can really trigger clutter accumulation. I was solely responsible for managing and distributing the estates involving full property clearance, art and book inventory, and communication with beneficiaries. I am a great advocate for the benefits of ‘Swedish Death Cleaning’ and can help with end-of-life organisation.
DIGITAL & PAPERWORK SYSTEMS: For over 20 years I ran a successful marketing consultancy, and developed efficient administrative systems for a home-based business, including digital filing, tax preparation and household records.
ELDERLY PARENT SUPPORT: I assisted ageing parents with moving from family homes to a retirement village, facilitating conversations on what to keep and why, making space plans, and supporting emotional decision-making.
SPACE PLANNING, DESIGN AND DECOR: I have designed and decorated a number of rooms and complete homes, including gardens over my career. I found that great design is a natural by-product of organising spaces and can help you create the visual space you want after organising - enhancing the flow and feeling of space, but still surrounded by all you love.
