Hi, I'm Barbara. 

​

I was a primary school-teacher for more than thirty years - a job where planning, organising  and communication are key.

​

Organising the home became a pressing and urgent interest when I had three children under five. Space in the house suddenly seemed to shrink, with pram and double buggy dominating the hallway and a washing machine in the kitchen that had to have a high chair moved out of the way before it could be opened. I did not thank my husband when he bought me a book called "Confessions of a Happily Organised Family" - how would that solve the space issue? 

I loved that book though. The author, Deniece Schofield, had such a humourous and realistic take on home and family life, as well as great ideas on organisation, that I had a renewed sense of energy and motivation after reading it.

It took an extension to solve the washing machine problem, but my interest in decluttering and organising had begun.

​

The three under fives are now adults who are still semi -based at home. Everyone, including my husband, is resistant to being organised -- so I understand  some of the  challenges you might be facing!

Let me help you to get organised: whether that means stream-lining your wardrobe, sorting out your kitchen,  arranging cupboards that refuse to close or facing a room of doom.....

It may be that you need support sorting through possessions with strong emotional memories.....

​

When our homes and possessions feel disorganised and out of control it can affect us negatively in so many ways. It can feel difficult to relax and invite people into a space we sometimes feel embarrassed about. 

Please do not let those feelings stop you from getting in touch with me -

I do understand and will not be coming to judge.

​

Whatever your decluttering or organising challenge might be, please contact me.

I would love to help.
