Nathalie is my organising and decluttering coach. If you see her in person, you will immediately get that sense that, oh my, she is born to do this work. Her eyes lit up from the depth of her soul while doing her work. She is well organised - from her thoughts and schedule down to her workbag.
As a coach, she not only provides the skills which is the “doing part” but she also supports the client to shift the inner process and build up the confidence which is essential.
Her genuine desire is to help people to organise things, to let go of the unnecessary stuff and stress from the items and to restore order and serenity into their homes and lives.
I hope many people will be as lucky as me to find her as their organising coach.
Nathalie helped me when I was at my wit's end trying to declutter, pack and move 3 generations' stuff from an old terrace house to a 3-room HDB flat in 2018! I had always been interested in organising and even possessed several books on organising. But when it came to that Big Move in 2018, I knew I needed her professional help. It was both emotionally and physically tiring. Nathalie gave me sound principles to follow while I decluttered. She also gave me links to where I could donate my good stuff.
In March 2020, I contacted Nathalie again. This time I needed help to organise my home filing system. I also urgently needed a proper place to work at home. So she helped me look into space management in my master bedroom and living room. Nathalie gave me clarity. She showed me how to separate work and personal files. I quickly went to shop for and found the perfect small desk. Thankfully everything was in place just before the lockdown! I now have a system to follow. It is so much easier and I feel more in control of things. That leads to me being less stressed too!
I definitely will recommend Nathalie. She is very professional, gentle and yet firm. She followed up with me to ensure that I was still getting along fine with the systems she recommended.
Last year Nathalie and I had an online coaching session that helped me to finally get control of my paper clutter. The results of our discussion meant that I felt better about myself and less overwhelmed by the tasks I had to do. This allowed me to tackle the problem with a new perspective and enthusiasm.
During our call we discussed what systems would work best for me. I was able to put those actions into place immediately after the discussion. I put into practice the workable tips and techniques she recommended and I am still using them eight months later.
Nathalie's kind and empathetic demeanor meant that I felt more comfortable discussing my challenges with her. She listened to me and was able to help me find what worked for me and what did not. I would definitely recommend that anyone would benefit from working with Nathalie, she can help you whether you are at the start of your journey or if you’ve just got stuck and bit overwhelmed.
Nathalie is a goldmine. She came up with a number of ideas when she visited our home. She then spent time understanding our mindsets and then spent time coaching us. Nathalie is a fabulous coach and really understands how to help people declutter both their homes and their lives.
Under Nathalie’s guidance we managed to simplify our lives. We’ve moved from landed 2,500 sqft houses and condos to eventually being able to fit our lives into our own tiny sub 1,000 sqft HDB flat and yet having tons of space! I highly recommend Nathalie to anyone who would like to simplify and declutter their lives, homes … and I daresay … souls!!
Nathalie helped me organise my study area and develop an action plan to allow me to continue the decluttering and organisation of my home on my own while giving me plenty of suggestions and tips.
Nathalie is respectful, supportive, friendly and non-judgmental, a very welcome guest in the home. She’s good at throwing the mental process back to the client to ensure that it's the client who is questioning the item and focusing on the goal. She doesn’t dictate how it should be done but works with the personality of the client. She’s firm but also practical. She’s fully engaged and mindful of adding value throughout the process.
I've benefited in so many ways from my session with Nathalie. On the whole, my home feels more spacious. My mind is freer because many items that I pondered over have gone. I’m able to find things quickly, and I’ve been able to throw together a dinner in a short amount of time.
I know the price might be an issue for some, or it could be spent on a short holiday, but coming back to a spacious, clear, organized home every single day makes it money well spent.
I feel privileged to have worked with Nathalie on my wardrobe decluttering project. As I’m being based in Switzerland, our exchanges were done online through Skype. The whole process went very smoothly and I’m absolutely delighted by the result I’ve achieved as it completely meets my goals.
Nathalie is patient, understanding and full of helpful advice. She has great listening skills and was a huge source of motivation. She has been a catalyst for other changes in my life as our work together led me to redecorate my entire flat. I particularly enjoyed her down to earth approach, completely customised to my needs and adapted to my lifestyle. Purging can sometimes be difficult, painful even. Nathalie was able to find the right words to encourage me with a lot of respect and kindness.
I’d highly recommend to anybody looking to improve their daily life even if they are not based in Singapore to contact Nathalie and start this process. The result will be a real breath of fresh air!
When I started exploring the idea of engaging a professional organiser, I was looking for someone who would come in and organise my home on my behalf. Although Nathalie doesn’t work like this - she guides you along the process but she expects you to be hands-on to make it happen, I nevertheless decided to engage her services as she appeared to have the best experience and be the most professional.
Everything felt right from the start – from our first interaction on the phone up to the time we met and worked together, and in fact even afterwards.
Nathalie was prompt and efficient in answering my queries. She is warm and we were quickly able to relate well to each other. She is open, she listened to me and gave me room to be myself and adapt her systems to my needs. She was honest in telling me her opinions while respecting mine. Her assessment of what was preventing me from getting organised was spot on, and it made all the difference for me to be more resolute and move forward with the big picture in mind.
Her help extended beyond our work together. After the session, Nathalie sent me useful tips summarising the decluttering and organising process we’ve been through so that I could continue on my own and a comprehensive list of disposal options for me to donate, sell and recycle the items I didn’t want to keep. She has been following up with me a few times to check how I was doing which has given me the motivation to carry on with the organisation of my home.
I have been adopting Nathalie’s system in different parts of my home, and I have shared the knowledge with my husband, who has also benefited and acted on it.
Nathalie went the extra mile to help me and I really appreciate that. You can sense she really wants to help her clients succeed and better their lives at home. I can't thank her enough for the change she has brought into our home and lives just through her three-hour kick-start session and I can’t wait to show her my soon-to-be beautiful and organised home.
It took me a while to decide to engage Nathalie’s services. I was feeling overwhelmed at the idea of tackling 7 years’ worth of clutter and imagined it would take a long time and cost a lot. But I was so tired, constantly running around, and so behind in all my admin work that I decided to give it a go.
What I found out was that with the right help, you can deal with your clutter quite fast. My clutter was making me feel powerless, but thanks to Nathalie’s support, I was never left alone to deal with it. During each session working with Nathalie, we could complete an entire area, or at least make a good start at it so I could continue on my own.
Nathalie's services may seem expensive at first but working with her has a lot of hidden perks, and the results are truly beyond my expectations. Our home is now free of a lot of clutter and doesn’t take much time tidying. Even though we had guests recently, it stayed tidy enough for all of us to enjoy spending time indoors. Now that I’ve cleared up a lot of things, I know what we have and what we need so we save a lot more on unwanted things.
Our children find their toys easily and enjoy what they have. They even like to tidy up! It has allowed me to teach them important life skills such as enjoying and caring for what you have, taking care of yourself, etc. I wake up with more energy to tackle the day ahead, ready to hit the ground running at my tidy desk. I've found pockets of time I didn't have before. I go to bed more relaxed knowing my home is neat.
Using Nathalie’s services ended up being a very good investment for the entire family. It feels like a new beginning. If you're planning to move, I'd recommend you hire Nathalie to help you. I regretted not doing that. We probably ended up wasting a lot of time and money on packing and moving clutter around. I feel so many of us can benefit from Nathalie’s services.
As someone who isn’t naturally organised (and actually quite dismissive of the need to be organised - I thought “organised chaos” was a good system), Nathalie taught me even free spirits can reap the benefits of professional organisation.
It’s not about forcing yourself to be something you’re not, but about learning ways to be more efficient in a way that works for you.
Professional organisation is an investment – you invest in the time (and maybe even discomfort) of figuring out what’s not working, so you can cleanse, declutter and put a system in place. But once that system’s in place? You’ll have more time and head space to focus on what matters. A bloody great return on investment, if you’re willing to take the plunge.
Thank you Nathalie for helping me get my paperwork and “data clutter” in order – I feel so much better knowing I created a home for the things that matter.
Before I met Nathalie, the thought of decluttering my home made me break into a cold sweat. I didn’t know where to start and was really quite nervous about allowing a stranger to witness the full extent of the mayhem.
But there was absolutely no need to be anxious. Nathalie is a lovely person: calm, generous and absolutely non-judgmental. She is incredibly empathetic, and whilst she will encourage you to make some tough decisions - ‘Do you really need that X gathering dust on your shelf, that hasn’t been opened since 2005?’ - she will also move at the client’s pace. We took baby steps at first, as she recognized how hard it was for me to let some things go. Now, we race through areas at breakneck speed. She’s there with you always, elbow deep in clutter so you never have to face it alone.
And she loves what she does. I’ve never met anyone so enthusiastic about transforming a space into something that works for you. Nathalie helped me put systems in place to deal with the never ending chaos generated by 3 children. The outcome is a home that is still lived in but clutter-free and organized beautifully. I feel lighter for letting go of things that simply took up space and months later I have no regrets. I couldn’t recommend her services more. If you're considering it, just do it.
Nathalie was recommended to me by a friend who had the same 'clutter' issues that I do. When we moved house two years ago, I felt completely overwhelmed by the amount of stuff our family had accumulated over the years and we were moving to a similar sized three story house. A year from now we will be downsizing considerably and I was determined to start the organizing process now. I think to date I have had about five three hour sessions. From the start Nathalie and I sat and discussed what I hoped to achieve and she set manageable goals between sessions to keep me on track. We have worked on a number of different areas in our home, from my wardrobe, to my desk to the bomb shelter which had become a complete dumping area.
It is fantastic how much can be achieved in a few hours and Nathalie always follows up with an e-mail reminder of what needs to be done between sessions. She helps set clear goals, puts systems into place and at the end of each session ensures that everything is tidied away so that you are not left with a mess. What I have also learned from this is more about myself and how my family operates. It's easy to say that one can do this alone, but I haven't in twenty years, though the mindset has been created, thanks to Nathalie. I always have a great sense of accomplishment after every session and would unreservedly recommend Nathalie.
Nathalie, working with you has been a lifesaver. I really felt buried by all of my paperwork and overwhelmed by all the stuff I have collected over the years. My goal was to try to avoid packing junk in shipping my household goods and you helped me tremendously. I just felt so comfortable working with you. You showed me what I needed to do and how to do it but I found your ability to empower me to make decisions about what to keep and what not to keep has really made a difference. It was difficult at first but now I feel I have the basics on what is required to de-clutter and it feels so good to clear up space. I know I still have a long way to go but at least now I feel I can do this and I thank you for empowering me to change.
In particular helping me clear out my desk and returning it to a usable workspace really touched me. That desk means so much to me because my mom gave it to me but it became an eyesore and unusable because it just became some place to store junk. When I first looked at it I just did not think clearing it was possible but you made the impossible possible in only a few hours. I think there are more people out there who can benefit from your services.
Nathalie helped de-clutter several areas which were really getting me down: my walk-in wardrobe was overflowing, the under-stairs storage crammed and inaccessible, the home office desk covered in paper, not to mention the kids’ toys ever expanding and out of control.
I found Nathalie’s approach very refreshing – constructive and not judgemental. We cleared an enormous quantity of unused stuff and I’m now the proud owner of a well-organised tidy house for the first time. It’s a great feeling!
I worked with Nathalie for over a month in order to sort out my office before we repatriated after many years abroad. Nathalie works in a very focused way. Her strength is that she is paying attention to the detail but she thinks in a macro way which is very strategic.
She just asked questions like "do you need this amount of paper?" Or "what other ways might you use to access this kind of information?" It was truly a revelation to begin to think about things that I took for granted on my shelves or in my filing cabinet.
The questions helped me enormously to rethink my priorities, how little paper I needed around me, how I could streamline my training materials (boxes and boxes of them) and then I was able to discard stuff that I have been carting about for literally years. It was very freeing.
Sometimes she had to stand there and get into detail, but her real strength is in her analytical mind and her ability to discard excess of everything. So now she has trained me to ask "Do you need that paper?" "Where will you look for that?” “How will you access this if you want to do so later?" All wonderful questions.
We recently moved from Kuwait to Singapore, into a much smaller house. I was really uncertain how I would fit all of our furniture in a way that would work for us. I asked Nathalie to come and give me some advice.
Nathalie had some great ideas, things I would never have thought of on my own. Her ideas were practical and useful, and I really appreciated her help. They centred around keeping the layout simple and elegant, and as uncluttered as possible. Nathalie's manner is thoughtful and precise, and I really appreciate the help she gave me in this transition between homes.
