“Janine was a contributor at Divergents Unmasked LIVE – a summit created specifically for people who identify as both LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent. She delivered an inclusive half an hour presentation on giving top tips for creating space for neurodivergent brains. And the chat went crazy with enthusiasm! On the feedback forms, her session drew more glowing comments around their feeling seen.
From a hosting perspective, Janine was a dream. So fun and enthusiastic to email and watch and with a great backdrop for an online summit. I’d recommend her as a speaker without hesitation.“

“I had the pleasure of interviewing Janine for a conversation on perfectionism and the procrastination that often surrounds organising and decluttering. From the first moment, it was clear how deeply knowledgeable and experienced she is—not just in creating physical order, but in understanding the emotional and psychological layers that can keep someone stuck in clutter.
Janine brings warmth, clarity, and a grounded presence to her work. She speaks with insight and compassion about topics that many people carry shame around, like chronic disorganisation or the overwhelm of starting. Her approach is not only practical but also empowering—especially for perfectionists who feel paralysed by the idea that things have to be “just right” before they even begin.
She’s a wonderful speaker and communicator, with a gift for making people feel understood and supported. I’m so glad our paths crossed, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Janine to anyone looking for a thoughtful, respectful, and truly sustainable approach to decluttering.“

She helps people feel included and not judged. She lets them see they can change where they are and feel happier.
I would recommend her to anyone!!“

“Paperwork!!!
We all have it. We all deal with it differently.
Well, tonight at Janine’s workshop I reduced a giant envelope of papers, receipts etc. down to one tiny stack that can now be filed away appropriately.
Easier to referred to…not looming in the closet.
Now I feel motivated to get to the bottom of a few more stacks.
Janine is fantastic at helping you see what you need and what you don’t, judgement free!
I highly recommend all of her workshops!“

“I recently had the pleasure of hearing Janine deliver her talk, Just 3 Things – Declutter Your Way to Success, and she absolutely lit up the room! Her vibrant energy was infectious from the moment she stepped on stage – especially with her striking hair – making a topic like decluttering not just practical, but powerful.
What I loved most was the way she broke things down into three simple, actionable steps — making it feel achievable rather than overwhelming. And just when we thought she’d given us everything, she ended on a perfect cliffhanger, leaving us all eager for more.
Janine isn’t just a speaker; she’s an experience. If you want someone who can engage, inspire, and spark real change, Janine is the one to watch!“

“I asked Janine to present a talk at my monthly Tuesday Chats network group at my Studio in Sale.
I was confident that she would present a confident, exciting and valuable session for the group.
I wasn’t disappointed, in fact I was blown away by her, professionalism, humour, vulnerability and expertise. Having Janine share her journey and her services is an experience not to be missed 👍“
