Amanda helped our elderly mother to downsize in preparation for a house move. As well as being extraordinarily efficient in all written communications, she was extremely empathetic in planning her sessions with our mother, working to a pace that she could manage. Amanda was able to facilitate decision making sympathetically and efficiently. Our mother has been struggling with memory and other symptoms of dementia for quite a while and Amanda navigated this with utmost professionalism, checking before her visits and prepared to expect anything on arrival!  She was also very helpful and thoughtful with respect to redistributing clothes and books and keeping us well informed. We are extremely grateful for Amanda’s help and would not hesitate to recommend her.

Downsizing Support in preparation for a move.

 

This is a hard thing to do on your own, I did try, but it’s easy to feel defeated and give up… I can’t do much physically now because of developing fibromyalgia, so Amanda’s service has become invaluable. One of the projects we have done recently is review lots of paperwork of mine that had built up over many years as well as some paperwork that I had inherited from my late parents.

After helping me to decide what to keep (and discarding lots!) Amanda collated the small amount we kept into an easy system for me so that my paperwork is now organised in one place and easier for me to manage.

Whilst we were sorting, I discovered cards from the 1960s that my deceased parents had sent to each other that I didn’t even know were in the house! That was emotional but I was so pleased to have found them. Recommended service.

Decluttering & Swedish death cleaning Project

I came into this not being 100% sure that my project could be tackled in a way that I would like it and still get the results I wanted, but the service exceeded my expectations and I got the results I wanted in a caring, approachable way.

Amanda worked hard, she was conscientious with attention to detail. My husband died 4 years ago and this is the best money I have spent since! I would highly recommend the services of An Organised You.

Thank you Amanda, I wanted to let you know how great I feel, it was to get all those boxes done so efficiently at the end of our Session.

Thanks Amanda for all the work you did, it sounds dramatic but it changed my life!

Amanda put the ground floor plan of my new bungalow onto her computer and inspected the furniture in my four bedroom house and took measurements on what she felt would fit in each room and where best each piece would sit.  The movers were delighted on D Day as they knew just where to put everything… and everything fitted perfectly

I have felt really good since Friday, got over my emotional overwhelm of dealing with the results of my compulsive buying of shoes and feel I am really getting the benefit of the project now – and it will only get better as time goes on! Thank you.

Just wanted to say well done! You’ve done a really good job of sorting my clothes and you were very good at advising me what to keep and not! It is all working so much better for me. Thank you.

I am soooo loving my new home space and I keep sitting in different seats, whereas before I kept reverting to one chair, so it’s lovely. Can’t wait until our next session!

Decluttering and home organisation for busy professional female business owner

I have a room in my house which, for years had effectively been a ‘dumping ground’ for things I couldn’t make a decision on!! Recently though it had become so ‘cluttered’ that it was playing on my mind. I asked An Organised You to help with the ‘de cluttering’ process and in just 8 hours we achieved my goal. As a result, the room is clear and all the items I decided to keep have their own space and I can now find them!! It is now a pleasure to go into the room, not a nightmare!

I have not managed to be the type of mother I would have liked to be throughout lockdown especially the last month or 2 and am nearing burnout. However, the toy cupboard and organised utility cupboards that you did for me have been so helpful during this time I cannot tell you! Thank you

Home organisation for Mum of 2, business owner

Amanda was very professional but also friendly, I felt I had known her for a long time within minutes of meeting her which made having a stranger come into my home and showing them the worst parts of it (the areas that would normally be closed out of embarrassment) so much easier. We got loads done and Amanda gave loads of really useful hints and tips of how to arrange my home. The help she has given I can use in more than just organising my home. Can’t wait for her to come back and tackle another area with her. This is a long term investment that will help me in years to come.

Executive assistant support.

We needed to downsize by 50% and Amanda helped us with this by measuring everything and created a 3d computer model to show how it would all fit in our new flat.  This really paid dividends on removal day; the removals could put everything in the right place.  Finally Amanda (helped us on move day) and she stayed and made sure we were settled, had space to eat and sleep before she left.  She was cheerful, courteous and supportive throughout.

Comments from Retirement Village staff

Before you came into my life I was bordering on suicide, you have changed my life.  Before I didn’t get up until after lunch, sometimes not at all, only to eat and use the toilet.  I am now getting up between 7am and 8am and feel I have a routine and hope that I can do this.  Thank you.

Organising Support for Retiree

Amanda has been a delight and has covered every aspect of our move.

Senior move management

An approachable but professional service with experience in the obsessional hoarding home domaine. Getting the balance right between treading gently with damaged individuals and pushing enough to make progress is a rare skill. Allows the individual to lead, but also encourages and deals practically with aspects of what needs to go. This together with helpful suggestions and organisational systems to complement the ongoing progress are excellent.

Amanda was so friendly and always quick to answer our phone calls & emails. She gave us good advice and solutions.

Move support

Amanda helped with organising my [walk in] under stairs cupboard. I had never thought of using it as a toy cupboard but [Amanda’s suggestion] has been a real life changer! The kids thought it was amazing and now the sitting room is free of toys of an evening and all put away…. by the kids (and happily at that!) It has helped clear my mind and has helped me mentally so much. [It’s been] easier to get the kids to put things away as well.

My heartfelt thanks for all the support you have given me. I am looking forward to what more we can achieve in 2021.

Kitchen & Utility home organisation female business owner

Amanda helped last year to organise our Christmas decorations with items I already had, costing me nothing [in extra storage]. This Christmas instead of taking hours to get out our decorations and [after Christmas] put it all away I knew exactly where it all was and the kids could do it themselves too as they knew where to put the baubles as it was all clearly labelled! Amanda has been amazing for us.

Downsizing support for retired professional female

From first contacting Amanda I was impressed. No one I know has used a professional organiser so I was a little unsure but Amanda helped me sort out an area of my home that had become a weight on my shoulders. She is kind, considerate and professional. We cleared the entire area I was concerned about and she even took unwanted items to donate on my behalf. I would not hesitate to use this service again. I feel a 100% more organised.

Mum of 2 young children requiring assistance decluttering and home organisation for master bedroom

I have been “trying” to sort my house out since I retired several years ago. It has only got worse. I have had some help from a different professional organiser in the past and it did make some difference but it was short lived. This time with An organised you, we have made an excellent start- three rooms so far and onto the fourth now. One was not too bad but two were dreadful, bordering on being unusable. The difference with Amanda from when I have cleared rooms on my own is that the clutter has now been sorted and organised properly and not just moved to another room! There is still a long way to go, but working with Amanda, I feel confident that I will keep it up until every room is a joy.
