I love mentoring other Professional Organisers and watching them
shine.
I too have struggled to find my P.O. identity and niche. Been overwhelmed by the white noise of
colleagues all trying be seen and heard across social media platforms. Compared and found myself
lacking. Been on that hamster wheel of exhaustingly busy and fearful of refusing work.
What do you aspire to?
Maybe you want to change things up but are unsure of how to do it? Feel your business is ready to
evolve? Identified a potential niche or have a brilliant idea and need to talk it through with someone
who understands the industry and will maintain your privacy?
I’d love to help you shine and grow your business. Together we will find the answers.
MENTORING REVIEWS

I deal with an enormous number of people. Rare to see people with your level of professionalism

Outcomes were achieved 'in spades'. Jennifer Manefield is a Modern Day Marvel.
Sarah, Reclaim Your Space
Jen took me under her wing in 2017 giving me my first paid opportunity as a professional organiser. She has a knack for quickly evaluating people’s strengths and offering carefully considered feedback, advice and suggestions. Her passion and dedication to the organising industry can’t help but rub off on the people she mentors. Jen makes everyone feel valued and is a wealth of knowledge, making her a fantastic mentor to have in your corner.
Melinda McAuley, Your House In Order
Right from the start Jen included me as a valued member of her team which gave me a level of confidence in what I could offer her clients. I have now been part of her team on a wide variety of jobs which has helped me clarify the types of jobs and clients I feel I can offer the best service to.
Jen has always encouraged me and at times has given me the push I have really needed for me to step up and out of my comfort zone for example shadowing Jen on a house move job where I had the opportunity to approach the job as if I was running it. This was such a valuable learning experience and really gave me the confidence to take my business to the next level.
Jen has a lovely, straight forward manner and she is always clear in her instructions when working with a client. She is generous with feedback and always acknowledges a job well done. Jen also encourages your input which is also a great way to test your knowledge and understanding.
Jen’s willingness to share her vast experience and point you in the right direction and her ability to trouble shoot and really clarify a particular issue you may be having with your business have impressed, motivated and ultimately been of huge benefit to me. I have a clear direction for my business.
Roxanne, The Space Specialist
“Standout operator” is what comes to mind when I think of Jennifer Manefield, of Decluttering Solutions.
In the last two years I have had the benefit of working as a team member on a number of Jennifer’s small and large-scale professional organising projects and have observed, firsthand, her ability to deliver results, under tight timeframes, often in high stress environments.
Jennifer’s capacity to handle complex situations and address the needs of multiple stakeholders enables her to win repeat business in the competitive Professional Organising Industry. She knows how to manage expectations and is talented at creating teams with diverse skill sets to best match the needs of each client.
A natural leader, Jennifer sets high standards, provides direction and shares feedback. She is compassionate, considerate and cultivates the best in others.
I highly recommend Jennifer as mentor to any professional organiser seeking to deepen their skills and knowledge and develop their business.
Maria, Organise My Life
I was brand new to the industry when Jennifer started mentoring me. Her wealth of knowledge on professional organising is superior to any of the other mentoring programmes I had looked into.
Her manner, her patience, and the work experience Jennifer provided was much more than I ever could have imagined. I learned how to deal with clients with difficulties.
I now have a successful business of my own with a three-month waiting list, in which I owe so much to Jennifer, whom continues to be my mentor. She is a very inspirational person.

The best de-cluttering business we have gotten chance to work and colab with. Jenny is a sweet heart. De-cluttering is a very tough task but not for Jenny. She is so easy to work with.
Hope we will work together again.
Cheers
Jennifer Lawson
Jennifer and her team were a tornado of efficiency and effectiveness. They sorted through 30 years of items that reflected career changes. Although much was discarded my needs were considered at all times. They were a pleasure to work with and I'd recommend them to anyone. Many high levels skills were utilised and I felt grateful for all of them.
Gabi Muhlheim
for the past 10 years i have been thinking about de-cluttering and sorting my storage unit. Could not face the task until i found Jennifer's de-cluttering solutions service. Its all done now!
thank you Jennifer and team you did a brilliant job.
louise Austin
Quite simply, we could not have made the move without the wonderful organisation and willing help provided by Jennifer and her fantastic team of helpers. It was a massive job. With Jennifer's Decluttering Solutions we managed to leave a large home, lived in for 50 years, to a much smaller apartment. A huge thank you to Jennifer and her assistants - all brilliant!
Henry The First
I used Jennifer’s consulting services for a move within Sydney in early 2020. I was moving from a large, two-bedroom garden apartment to share a house for 6 months, before moving back to a place of my own. I needed to work out what to move, store, sell, donate and dispose of, as well as coordinate how to make all that happen.
Jennifer coached me patiently through a series of questions about my current and future situations, before providing clear and actionable feedback and guidance. By the end of the session, I had an action plan and schedule, including contingency options.
The move was a success, I didn’t overspend on storage, made a bit of cash selling things I hadn’t used in years, and I haven’t regretted getting rid of things I would have kept if not for Jennifer’s guidance.
One phone session was all it took. Jennifer’s a natural communicator and was able to use her deep specialist knowledge to set me on the right track. A true professional.

INVALUABLE
Jennifer Manefield runs an excellent business. Her services over the past few months have been invaluable.
I asked Jennifer to meet an elderly friend with dementia and Alzheimer's whom I was about to help move into an apartment which offered Assisted Living.
EXPERIENCE
Jennifer's experience with Aged Care and with people who have dementia meant that my friend warmed to her quickly and they began to plan the process of decluttering a house in which she had lived for more than 40 years. This was never going to be an easy task, but Jennifer's very careful approach made it possible for my friend to make her own decisions and trust Jennifer's suggestions.
CARING AND CAREFUL
Jennifer was painstakingly careful, caring, thorough and entirely trustworthy.
When it became apparent that my friend needed to move to Assisted Living before the sale of the house, Jennifer's assistance was as immediate as her time allowed. She understood the need to reduce the stress which would have increased during the final preparation of the house for sale and the anxiety caused by house inspections and the auction.
ENTIRELY TRUSTWORTHY
When my wife was diagnosed with an aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma I had no hesitation in asking Jennifer to take care of all the associated business of getting a house ready to sell, which I could no longer do. She more than capably managed the selection, packing and supervision of the loading and transfer of furniture and personal items. Jennifer took my friend to the apartment on the moving day and was at the apartment to manage, with the removalist's team, the unpacking and relocation of all belongings, staying until everything was in place; she saw the need for some missing items, made a list and sent me off to get them. A fabulous eye for detail.
Not only had Jennifer arranged for and liaised with the removalist, she also had been to the apartment at Westmead Uniting to meet management and to measure the apartment to ensure that the furniture and possessions would fit. Jennifer also took my friend on shopping trips to select new furniture.
THOROUGH and WELL ORGANISED
Furthermore, Jennifer organised the disposal or storage of items not needed in the apartment and the interstate transport of goods to a niece. She was on hand for other people involved, such as the Real Estate Agent, the stylist, the house cleaner, the gardener, rug cleaner and more.
DEPENDABLE
Jennifer never failed to do what we had planned to do. She was always in communication with me by phone or by email and after discussions I knew that I could depend on her to act on her own initiative when necessary.
INDISPENSABLE
In short, I could not have achieved the move to the new apartment or the sale of the house without Jennifer's assistance. My friend would not have had the relatively seamless transition to the apartment without the excellent work of Jennifer and her team.
I am completely comfortable with recommending Jennifer for any assistance people might need for decluttering and moving house, especially in situations with elderly people or people with dementia or Alzheimer's.
I am immensely grateful that I contacted Jennifer who has been exceptional in her work.
Fiona Sullivan
I feel very fortunate I contacted Jennifer's Decluttering Solutions
to manage the decluttering, downsizing move of a lifetime of possessions. She engaged an amazing team that at all times were professional, empathetic and flexible throughout a difficult move for my mother. With Jennifer's expertise and knowledge, we had a total solution including clearing, donations, packing, removalists, cleaning & restoration contacts . We couldn't have managed the move without Decluttering Solutions.
Len Mahemoff
Jennifer executed our project in connection with a deceased estate in a most professional manner, still managing to go "the extra mile" in a few small matters which were not part of her quote. All in all, I have no hesitation in recommending her services. Len M - Bondi Junction
Gabi Bywater
Jennifer and her Team turned a stressful situation into an organised transformational process. They reminded me that decluttering is not just about physical stuff - it's also about creating a sense of calm whilst acknowledging personal history. They applied just the right amount of "push" to get me going without creating an unhappy situation. I can't recommend Jennifer highly enough and I'm very happy with my new decluttered home!
Peter O'Connor
I unequivocally recommend Jennifer and her Declutter Solutions company having had extensive time with Jennifer and Co while we worked to "declutter" my Aunt's home and eventually "style and prepare" for sale .
Thank you Jennifer for showing such thoughtfulness, kindness and empathy .
Your willingness, availability and communication made the process very straightforward.
Your ideas and suggestions about how to style the home and were always thoughtful but style perfect.
Thank you for so beautifully allocating my Aunts property to places, agencies and people that really make a difference. The gift to Parramatta Mission really resonates and I feel so proud that my Aunt could posthumously help a family - such an important cause and so thoughtful. That really warmed my heart and brought tears to my eyes ...
Sincerely thank you Jennifer.
