FAQs
What do I need to do as a client?
The decluttering process works best if you are able to work with me to help sort the items. However, I am happy to work independently if you need to work from home. Have a think about how you want to use the space/area and about the end goal. Make sure to have a big breakfast and coffee before I arrive so we can have a highly productive session!
What are your personality traits?
Originally from Canada 🇨🇦, I have been described as calm, level-headed, friendly, non-judgemental, easy to talk to and most recently as, unflappable. My style of decluttering and organising is generally ‘room by room’, rather than the Marie Kondo style of ‘categories’, as i find it works better for my clients. I love all pets so no need to hide your curious dogs away when I arrive!
How long will you be at my house?
This depends on which areas need decluttering. For example, a pantry might take 3 hours but a garage might take a full day, depending on how full it is. I find that 3 hours, in a morning or afternoon session, is enough time to really get stuck into an area. A session that goes for more than 6 hours in a day can often become too exhausting for my clients as there is a lot of decision making during a session. Clients who are not on a time constraint will often opt for multiple, 3 hour sessions, so they have the bulk of the day to do other things. When time is a factor, we will do longer sessions to make sure everything gets done.
Are you insured?
Yes, I am fully insured with Professional Indemnity Insurance and Business Insurance.
What are your qualifications?
I have received certificates on decluttering and organising as you can see on the Certificates page. I also have a current Blue Card, a Police Clearance as well as First Aid, CPR, Asthma and Anaphylaxis and Mental Health First Aid training. I am a member of the IOPO and abide by their Code of Practice. I am currently doing a course in Interior Design.
Do you clean my house?
The short answer is ‘no’. I do not provide a Brisbane house cleaning service. However, if I am tidying up something like a kitchen or pantry, then I will use chemical-free cleaning products as I go.
