Why would I hire someone to help me organise my office or home? Surely I can do it myself?
These are completely reasonable questions, and I know that letting a relative stranger into your space can be daunting. So read on to see what some of my past Clients felt about the experience, or look at how I’ve helped in pictures.
At Home
C, Busy Mum, Monton
"Thank you for a really useful session. It gave me positive energy and strategies to help tackle the clutter around the house. It had felt very overfacing. Talking to you helped me see why the house might have got cluttered over the last few years and helped me forgive myself for it getting that way. I really appreciated your pertinent questions, understanding and wisdom.I would definitely recommend you to others and use your services again. Thank you for your help so far."
CD - Busy Working Mum, Manchester
"I contacted the very lovely Amanda to help me with my on going clutter problem.I had read books and watch TVs shows about decluttering and organisation but none of them seemed to help me get my clutter under control. Amanda helped me to identify the cause of my clutter and gave me simple and easy solutions to help me organise my space. I felt at ease having Amanda coach me through sorting my clutter as she is very relaxed, non- judgemental and down to earth.I would definitely recommend her to those that want immediate results using quick and easy ideas ...
Deborah - Teacher, Sale
"Amanda helped me to prepare to have an extension by clearing out the loft. She arrived on time very well prepared and ready to get stuck in!! I started enthusiastically, eager to get organised, but when my enthusiasm started to wane Amanda's didn't! She encouraged me and provided useful advice throughout the day, including details of charities such as the Wood Street Mission that would particularly benefit from some unnecessary items that I'd hung onto for far too long! Amanda also provided a safe way to dispose of an old computer - I was even able to get old data ...
David – Homeowner, Salford
“Amanda can turn her hand to anything, and is not afraid to get stuck in . She helped me with my large 3 bedroomed house, which was in the middle of a renovation. Not only did she help organise my stuff, but she even helped with tidying and some cleaning – before long the place was looking spic and span. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
Mrs R – Mum of 3, Altrincham
“The children are noticeably calmer, playing better together and really enjoying their ‘new’ playroom. I was so inspired that I tackled my daughter’s disaster of a bedroom yesterday too. Feel so much more in control already, thank you.”
In the Office
Sarah, Small Business Owner, Poynton
"Having met Amanda at networking meetings, I was confident that she would provide a professional service. Her friendly and supportive approach is reassuring and my organising session lived up to and beyond my expectations. Amanda helped tackle two key areas, which now enable me to work in a more efficient and effective manner. Her smart approach to organisation is refreshing and has given me renewed enthusiasm, as it’s provided a more conducive environment to work in."
KT, Chester
“Your help this month has been truly amazing and I cannot thank you enough. I was VERY reluctant to have anyone see my hoarder-home, much less ALL my business affairs and so much of my very, very private life, but you seemed so calming, considerate and encouraging on the ‘phone; you did nothing to add pressure and only tried to alleviate it, and finally I asked for us to meet. Now my only regret is not meeting you even sooner!You came into my world discreetly with no uniform or car logo, showed how naturally organised you truly are, never made ...
Heather, Office Manager, Altrincham
The entire experience was coordinated & efficient from beginning to end. Amanda provided the motivation and structure needed to carry out this daunting task. We would thoroughly recommend.
James, Fluid Bars, Manchester
Amanda provided a detailed plan for streamlining our office, systems and documents. She implemented the plan, made us all stick to it and provided a great service and big help to FluidBars. I would recommend Amanda without question.
HG - Homeworker, Stretford
Sometimes we need a helping hand to get started - in my case with ADHD it's even worse - and can get sidetracked from doing the boring jobs, and so need a 'Clutter Buddy'. It's no good thinking to yourself I'll move those things upstairs and deal with them later, because you wont. Amanda helped me to go through the clutter of papers and other things in my office that shouldn't have been there. In a a couple of hours we'd shredded documents no longer needed, moved junk papers into the kerbside recycling bag, identified the documents I needed to ...
KS, Business Owner, Hale
"Amanda came to my aid to help me organise my home/work balance. With myself and my husband running our own businesses from home things were beginning to become a little chaotic. Within 10 minutes, Amanda had helped me establish a clear action plan and even rearranged furniture in a way that totally transformed our living space. She is a joy to work with and I will be requiring her help throughout my home in the future."
SR, Small Business Owner, Stockport
"I was drowning! My near useless filing system becoming even more useless as business increased and I started to struggle to prioritise/juggle work and home life. Amanda created a filing system that totally works for me as a photographer and by literally making me go through piles of technical notes and clippings of ideas that I didn't need or hadn't looked at in months - forced me to file, scan and destroy. Sometimes you can't see the woods for the trees and you need some to come along with a chainsaw! Amanda did and my world is a calmer place! ...
