My mission:
to help families make space for what matters.

20 years’ experience in marketing strategy made me an expert in consumer psychology and behavioural science. Now I use that in depth knowledge of the psychology of buying and owning products to help people let them go. I’ve  trained with a hoarding charity, and I have as much experience in applying empathy as I do in deploying science to get the job done.

​

I'm also a mum with three young children, so I understand how hard it can be to maintain a home environment. I know exactly how isolating it feels on those days when you're struggling to get your stuff together to get out with the children, but you don't want to invite anyone over because the house is in disarray. I totally get how overwhelming it is to be frantically looking for something while children are also demanding your attention. I've spent afternoons tidying when I wanted to be doing something nice with my children (or, god forbid, for myself!).

​

No Shade, Brighter Spaces exists to help busy families declutter and organise their way out of overwhelm. I apply Montessori principles to help families foster independent children, but not everything has to be strictly practical. The environments I set up also work beautifully with more creative educational philosophies like Waldorf Steiner. I've found that children can learn to take a real sense of pride in their environment if it's set up to support their organisational style. As they thrive in their independence it lightens the mental load for their parents.
