Karen, book me in please and thanks again, so glad to use you, it’s nice to have someone in my corner x

"

Karen thank you so much for your time yesterday. I felt such a sense of relief and achievement. The children were over the moon when they came in, they also started playing with the toys they could see which was really lovely. Thanks once again for everything.

"

When we get together for a session Karen is firm but fair and also makes the sessions fun – she also has a good understanding of autism, and loads of patience. Worth every penny!!! Highly recommended.

Thank you so much Karen. It feels so much better and I cannot wait to do more – its contagious. I big reaction, in a good way, was my daughter. She spotted immediately how much better the shelves and boxes looked and didn’t even ask me if anything had gone!!

"

I hope you will keep in touch and of course will recommend you to those who are stupid enough to move at my age!

"

Thankyou so much for all your hard work and support…you are amazing!
I feel a huge weight has been lifted. Now I can put more time and focus on the admin for the move today.

I am truly grateful for your assistance and your kind consideration of my present difficulties and circumstances.
I feel less tension and the relief is tangible.

If your life is a disorganised mess then you need to be ‘Karened’! With a natural ability to create order from chaos, Karen can transform your business or personal disaster zone into a well-ordered, zen-like sea of tranquillity, enabling you to sail off to conquer your own particular world. Happy, warm, creative and focused, you will wonder how you got this far without her.

"

As a person that’s Autistic and ADHD, I’ve found through working with Karen I’m not a hoarder, I find it hard to get rid of stuff due to memories imbedded in things. I also found out a lot of what I bought is sensory, colours, fabrics etc. Karen over the last 18 months has shown me strategies to put away things and ideas for storage, she has gone above and beyond with her work with me. Not only this, she understands my eye for things and respects my choices. The last 4 weeks in particular I have really made progress in my home with Karens help.

"

I found Karen extremely professional but with a lovely friendly manner. I would say that she has that magic trait of being completely trustworthy with always a smile whenever we worked together on projects.
I can highly recommend anyone wanting to work with Karen.

"

Thank you for the fantastic job you did to make my new home habitable

"

I used to walk into areas of our home and mentally leave again because its so unorganised, I felt I was failing. Sometimes just getting out the door every morning took me so long because I couldn’t find anything, which was such a struggle with the children. Karen helped me to make some changes that were so positive they helped the whole family and I am really feeling more confident now because I feel in control again

"

I asked Karen to help as she is organised , creative and great at understanding and interacting with people.  Karen provided a structure and plan including recommendations for local skips and electrician and suggestions for keeping memories whilst letting go of items we really didn’t need or would never use. Karen provided low cost design ideas for storing kept items. Karen was very respectful during the clearance allowing time for reminiscing and decision making and making sure the decision making fitted with my work schedule. All work was completed on time  – the clearance took 3 days – and was actually fun and stress free. We now have a loft where we can access and store what we need. The rest of the house of now freed from items that are now in the loft. We also retrieved priceless photos and letters. I’m delighted and thoroughly recommend Mardi Girl The Organising Lady.

"

Karen has a keen eye for design and her affable personality means she takes time to understand her clients’ needs. She is totally dedicated to finding and delivering the right solution from decluttering that messy wardrobe, to organising your office space!

"

I’m downsizing from a Large Family Country House after 18yrs to a much smaller London house.

I could NOT of managed without Karen!

She is ….. efficient, professional, practical and friendly. Easy to work with.

A must have to help take the Declutter and Moving Stress Away.

"

Thanks so much for this – and all of your help yesterday. I can’t believe the difference it has made

"

Without your energy and organisational skills I would still be looking at a pile of boxes in the sitting room and elsewhere.

"

Karen is an efficient manager with a wealth of knowledge and experience in managing the well being of a chaotic environment. Her ability to remain calm in stressful situations and address effectively the problem is second to none.

"

Thanks for all the help. We couldn’t do this without you! I’ll refer you when I can. 
Thanks again. 

"

Karen is always a pleasure to work with she knows how to get things done that’s for sure! Very calm, well organised and a good all round person.

Dear Karen
I wanted to write to thank you for doing such an incredible job sorting out my mother’s house prior to her move. We literally could not have done this without you and the team and it was worth every penny!
You were remarkably undaunted when faced with 50 years’ of clutter, and I’m sure it’s  a huge relief to be out of the house. 
I am keen to make sure that we continue to use you going forward and I know there is still a lot to do sorting out stuff, especially the wardrobe! 

"

I had the best value day today ever!
l have been retired for 5 years and have been unable to clear the decks in my office. l kept on opening the door, looking at what looked completely unmanageable, and shutting the door again, a whole room in a small house was completely unusable. Today Karen, The Organising Lady came to help, and in 4 hours my office was cleared of the past 14 years of clutter, sorted into manageable categories, polished and dusted, and restored to a usable room that l can now repurpose into whatever l need.
l feel like a new woman, detoxed and ready to rock and roll into my retirement refreshed.
I can’t recommend The Organising Lady enough…. if you need clutter and disorder ordered she’s definitely the one to call! Oh, and lovely with it!

"

I am a busy full time working mum. Karen has organised my whole house with only the storage area and garage left to do. She is thoughtful and considerate and I immediately felt at ease with her. It’s such a relief to have everything sorted and organised, I finally feel quite relaxed in my own house now. I am amazed at the storage ideas & how easy it is to find everything. A tidy house really does equal a tidy mind.

"

We had a family holiday of a lifetime booked and I was in a complete panic about what to wear!! We were off to Orlando for 2 weeks and I wanted to be comfortable for all of the walking but also wanted to look good. I didn’t want to be that ‘mom’ in white socks and trainers!!

Karen was amazing! She just seemed to have an eye for the perfect item and fit! She chose a couple of outfits that were great for the day but could also work in the evening when we went out for dinner or stayed to watch the fireworks. She even found me 2 pairs of cute pumps that made some of the outfits!!

I have still worn all of the clothes back in England and get regular comments about how good they look!

"

You are always on the move and did not show your exasperation when I changed my mind about things

"

Karens organisation skills are second to none and her ‘can do’ attitude and creativity enable her to design and implement projects from start to finish.

"

You always get me to consider clothes that I never look at in a shop as I’m convinced they would not suit me. Your eye for shape and colour and detail, you got me out of my basic black and navy! You talked me into trying a beautiful green and gold colour coatigan which was way out of my comfort zone but I have had amazing comments and (as you said it would ) it has been great for my recent holiday and will be perfect for Autumn/Winter. I always feel confident with the clothes you choose and I actually wear them, gone are the days when I have loads of things hanging in the wardrobe unworn with the tags on! Looking forward to my next shopping trip.
I would highly recommend your personal shopping service Mardi Girl The Organising Lady.

"

I cannot recommend Karen highly enough. Her attention to detail and professionalism is exceptional. She has an organised and meticulous ethic. Once you have had her expertise you will recall her again and again.

"

To be honest I always go to Karen in a panic around clothes. She also guided me on outfits for a work event in New York – how to look good on the plane but also comfortable for that 8 hour flight! Once she understands you and what you need she is like a whirlwind of organisation and vision.

Thanks Karen xxx
