Keeping our home neat was a different story - always an uphill struggle until my cousin who was visiting us from Canada offered to organise my wardrobe with me! Without her there I would not have chosen to devote three hours of my free time to doing a clear out. But working together was so much fun, especially that she guided me in how to decide whether to keep something or pass it on. The result was so inspiring – an organised space populated only with items I truly wanted to wear, arranged neatly and all easily accessible. This is when I caught the bug of organising and I could not be stopped! With each transformed room and cupboard I noticed that I was spending significantly less time keeping the place tidy because everything now had its own place! This is when I decided that I would love to spread the joy of neater living to others. At first I started helping friends, then gained professional experience working as a house keeper, and finally Inspire Organising was born. I LOVE my job! It is a privilege to see the impact my work has on others and how transforming a space can impact daily living.

Moving home is a good opportunity to edit our belongings so we only bring with us the things we use and treasure.

Too many possessions may be a hindrance to selling the house if it appears crowded or has ‘too much personality’. If you are downsizing I will assist you in making decisions on what to keep and help you get rid of the items you no longer need. I would also be delighted to help you organise your new home, so you can truly enjoy living there from the word go. - Unpacking into the new house https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60817d23b782341694b30301/1619197324841-BRZORUNI9U7QF7CUV1RC/vadim-sherbakov-tCICLJ5ktBE-unsplash.jpg Services - Bereavement Help at a difficult time Losing a loved one is hard enough and dealing with their belongings by yourself can be just too painful.

Living with a family of nine means there is a lot of stuff!! We set aside a whole day to work together on creating order out of chaos! I have to say it was a joy having Marta in our home. Her enthusiasm and ability to see how to improve the areas is a real gift. The way she organised drawers, cupboards and shelves was very practical and it made it easy to keep tidy after she had left. It was money well spent in order to alleviate the stress of feeling chaotic and transform the areas into an orderly managed environment. I highly recommend Marta for any organising job.

I am generally very good at being organised, tidy etc but for a number of reasons, my home had just become cluttered, messy, disorganised and it was affecting my mood and energy levels. I could solve so many issues for others, but for myself, I was finding that I was feeling burdened with my own mess. I kept saying 'I'll sort that room out tomorrow' but tomorrow would come and go and still the lack of flow in the home remained because I just couldn't bare to tackle various parts of my home. But ignoring the issue just made it worse. I would just add to the mess. I cannot recommend Marta enough. She was able to listen and bring practical solutions that fitted in with my ideas of how I wanted things to work. I was really impressed she made sure things worked for me rather than just imposing her own system. During her first visit, she carried out a 'consultation', a personal wish list if you like of how I wanted my home to work. I showed Marta around and we came up with a to-do-list, breaking everything down into small manageable chunks. I felt so uplifted after this first meeting. We arranged for another meeting where in 2 hours, the first item on the to-do list was sorted out. In only 2 hours!!! It was my through-room / lounge / music area. It had become cluttered with instruments, sofas, etc. and just wasn't working. At the end of 2 hours, the furniture was re-arranged in a way, which took on board my kids wishes regarding playing the instruments and my wish to have a cosy sitting area with my family. Items that were not required were removed. I basically couldn't see the wood for the trees but now there is such a homely feeling to my through-lounge / music area. It works! The light flows through and there are no bags, items etc stuffed behind or below sofa's etc. The space has been utilised optimally, without compromising the aesthetics or the functionality of the room. More importantly, my energy levels and mood elevated. I hadn't realised how burdened I was. All I needed was one afternoon to get me back on track. It gave me such energy to tackle other areas. Marta has a very good eye for how space works. All the suggestions were in line with my desires for that area. There was no fixed agenda, other than to solve 'problem areas' in a way that suited me and worked within our home. I didn't feel embarrassed with Marta, despite having to show her the messy stuff I normally try to hide, she was just so pragmatic and unphased that it was easy to be honest about spaces that gave me problems. Whilst she was very understanding and friendly, she was also very professional, pro-active, didn't waste time and got on with the job in hand. I found the initial consultation very good at focusing my mind on what I felt was key, breaking down the clutter and mess into a priority list. Sometimes, you just need a little bit of a helping hand. That is what I felt was accomplished.

From the first video call to discuss what I needed help with right through the process, Marta was professional in every way, asking questions I wouldn't even think of but found so helpful and finding out how she could best support me to declutter. I have moved several times in the last few years, and have gone from living in my own flat to being in a shared house as a mature student. I have carried so much stuff between these places and now trying to fit it into a room proved challenging. I have done some decluttering before, but I find it hard to get rid of things I 'may' need in the future. I was able to discuss with Marta my worries about getting rid of some things, and she had some great ways of deciding what is worth keeping and what isn't. Marta always left the decision up to me, but I found it incredibly liberating to be able to keep some things for the future without feeling guilty about it, while being realistic about the things I will probably never use. We worked for a total of just over five hours, and made huge progress. I now feel more at home in my space as I'm not stressed or worried about organising it. There are still some things to do but I feel empowered to do these now, and have even done some since Marta came. I am so grateful for Marta's help, I cannot recommend her highly enough.
