Professional Organiser

Personal Journey

As a mother of three grown children, Sharon understands the complexities of balancing a busy home and work life. Despite her inherent organisational skills, she found maintaining a tidy home challenging due to excess belongings and limited time. She knew she wanted to find a way to change.

Transformative Training

Inspired by Marie Kondo's bestselling book, Sharon began her own tidying journey. This transformative experience culminated in her attending a KonMari® Consultant, training alongside Marie Kondo herself, she became fully equipped to support clients in changing their lives using KonMari® principles.
