Are you going through a life change and finding your home harder to keep on top of?
Do you want your space to feel more supportive, manageable, and aligned with the season of life you’re in now?
Welcome to calm-nest organising. You’ve already taken the first step toward creating a home that feels calmer, more manageable, and better able to support you. I offer decluttering and home‑organising support across Sheffield, South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire, with a calm, compassionate and healthcare‑informed approach. I also offer virtual organising sessions, providing accessible support wherever you are.
My path into organising wasn’t linear. I wasn’t always naturally tidy - growing up, there were often dishes waiting to be done and clothes on the floor. Everything shifted when I began working in healthcare. I saw how much easier it was to think clearly, rest, and stay on top of things when my environment supported me. That experience shaped how I approached my own home, and I discovered how powerful it can be when a space feels aligned with your needs and routines.
Through my clinical roles in the NHS, I’ve worked closely with people experiencing changes in physical health, mental health, neurodiversity and major life transitions. I understand how these shifts can affect energy, decision‑making, and the ability to keep on top of a home. This insight forms the foundation of my work.
Many of my clients come to me during times of change - starting a new job, welcoming a baby, navigating bereavement, recovering from illness, managing burnout, or adapting a home to support changing physical needs. These moments can make everyday tasks feel heavier, and clutter can build up quietly. My role is to offer gentle, non‑judgemental support that feels manageable, steady and tailored to your needs.
Alongside in‑person sessions, I offer virtual organising for clients who prefer support from home, who live outside my area, or who find it easier to work in shorter, focused sessions. Virtual support is ideal for anyone navigating low energy, chronic illness, caring responsibilities, or simply wanting steady guidance and accountability without having someone physically in their space.
I work at your pace, with systems tailored to your routines, capacity and goals. Whether you need help with a single room, a whole‑home reset, or ongoing support, I provide kind, trustworthy guidance, along with motivation and accountability to help you move forward.
Calm-nest organising is here to help you feel lighter, more in control, and more supported in your home - especially during the seasons of life when you need it most.

I asked Sophie at calm-nest to help me organise and declutter before moving house. We did it online via video calls. I was very stressed looking at all my belongings, and worrying about the huge task of moving. We are stuff-heavy people between our jobs and hobbies and living in a house for 7 years accumulated a lot of gubbins. Not only that but our new place is under renovation and there would be very little space or storage for anything other than essential belongings there... AND I'm pregnant. So my hobbies would also likely to take a backseat for a while. She made me an amazing personalised plan and identified skills I already had that would help me which made me feel so capable. It also had a suggested order to do the rooms/categories in, which was so much easier to follow than how I would have gone about it solo. I was SO grateful for the video session we did to work through my sewing supplies & projects. It's so easy to hoard things when they represent an exciting idea and also some of the fabrics are sentimental e.g. bought by my late Mum. Talking through each project/fabric with Sophie gave me so much clarity and I absolutely loved the result of being able to see all my projects and fabrics lined up together like books I could choose to read. I expected it to be a harder, more harsh experience with lots of grief, like previous solo decluttering attempts have been, but it wasn't at all. Sophie was so gentle, encouraging and honest with me, and I came out of it feeling really proud of myself. Now I have moved I feel so in control of all my belongings and happy that there will be space for new possessions in the future. My life was very full up till Sophie helped me.
After my dad passed away, I was faced with the overwhelming task of going through years of his paperwork. Sophie stepped in and made what felt like an impossible job not only manageable, but surprisingly comforting. She approached everything with sensitivity, care, and professionalism. She sorted through bags of paperwork with incredible attention to detail, organising everything clearly and efficiently. What meant the most to me, though, was that she didn’t just treat it all as clutter—she noticed and set aside some sentimental things my dad had doodled or written, pieces I might have missed in the midst of it all. Sophie brought order, peace of mind, and a real sense of care to a very emotional task. I can’t recommend her highly enough.
I had often viewed with scepticism the claims proliferating about decluttering. Apparently It could change your life, allow you to be more in control, help you and your home feel lighter and brighter…and even make space for miracles. And then I met Sophie and my cynicism vanished. Living in the same very large house for over 50 years and in this time bringing up a very large family is a recipe for clutter accumulation. I needed help. Sophie has worked alongside me, one small area at a time, and we have sorted and classified and importantly moved on some of my very numerous possessions. Understanding the psychology behind a tendency to hoard, to hang on to things for reasons of nostalgia or sentimentality enables her to be totally non judgemental. At no time did it feel intrusive having Sophie in my home. In just two sessions we have decisively worked our way through book cases and DVD collections, through outdated children’s toys and board games and reduced and re organised the contents of my overfilled filing cabinet. After each session Sophie has, to my relief, taken away numerous bags and boxes whose contents hopefully will help the local Charity shop. There is still more to do! I have drawers full of photos from before the digital age which will take some sorting out and still a few unexplored cupboards. Sophie will come back again for more sessions but surprisingly to me she has inspired me with the motivation to push on independently in between her visits and even enjoy the process. And funnily enough I do find that decluttering can be life enhancing, and can free up not only your living space but also your mind .
