Hello,
I’m Leahna, a Scot living in London, and I’d like to share the story of how I became a Professional Organiser!

I’ve lived in four cities and ten flats/houses since leaving my family home, and I’ve suffered bereavement which changed me enormously. Experiencing loss taught me more about myself, being human, and how relationships with others and ourselves can affect our homes. Our environment shapes us in ways we don’t even realise. Home for me has become a place where I work, enjoy hobbies, spend family time and relax

Over time I’ve worked in diverse roles, from healthcare to the arts. Medicine taught me to be organised and prioritise tasks, while helping a wide variety of people with a range of issues, professionally and confidentially. I learned just how important it is to listen to someone’s story carefully and with empathy, in order to get to the bottom of things and truly make a difference

Print Design nourished my creative side, improved my composition and overall sense of aesthetics, and provided an outlet for my ideas and imagination. I tap into this part of my brain when organising and get into a creative ‘flow’ which helps me make a plan for your space and visualise where objects belong

These experiences gave me the skills, confidence and desire to pursue my dream of organising for a living. I’ve always strangely enjoyed moving house and have plenty of practice arranging excess stuff, as I used to be a bit of a squirrel. I realised that even my favourite video games are space and organising-related

I first found out that Professional Organisers exist (other than on TV) when my friend bought some board game containers, inspired by my own storage and I happily volunteered to organise the pieces for him. He was surprised by my speed and enthusiasm, and half joked I should do this for a living. I said it would be my dream job! He searched online, found APDO (Association for Professional Declutterers and Organisers, based in the UK) and I was off on a trail of discovery that led to me forming Save Your Space

Soon after, Marie Kondo dominated Netflix and talk of tidying was everywhere. This confirmed that by decluttering and organising I could really help people, gave me a much needed fix of home improvement TV, and even inspired my friend to fold his T-shirts!
Unfortunately Covid shook the world soon after I’d started seeing clients. After a long break and a bit of a business refresh I’ve started things back up again and am eager to help people make their homes fun and functional again
