Jennie's journey into decluttering began with a passion for organisation and a desire to avoid returning to the conventional office environment. She invested time in educating herself through books, workshops, and by joining the Association of Professional Declutterers and Organisers (APDO). This network provided her with the tools and community support crucial for her new venture.
In August 2023, Jennie launched Kent and Sussex Decluttering. Her business model is simple yet impactful—helping clients clear out their homes and donating unwanted items to charity. This approach not only clears physical space but also provides emotional relief to her clients, many of whom find decluttering an overwhelming task.
What sets Jennie apart in her field is her empathetic approach. She often works with clients going through significant life transitions, such as bereavement, where her role transcends beyond mere decluttering to providing compassionate support. Her method is not about dictating what should be discarded but rather assisting clients in making decisions that feel right for them.
Jennie's impact on her clients is profound. Testimonials on her website speak volumes, with many expressing how her services have brought significant positive changes to their lives. Her work often involves problem-solving and helping clients reorganise not just their spaces but their lives.
The success of Jennie’s business is a testament to her belief that it's never too late to embrace change and follow one's passion. Her story is inspiring for anyone facing career uncertainty or considering a late-life career change. Jennie plans to continue growing her business, driven by her passion and the satisfaction of helping others. Her story is not just about decluttering spaces but about opening up possibilities for new beginnings at any stage of life.
