For over 10 years, I worked as a disability support worker across various organisations. During that time, I saw both the positives and challenges within the industry. I loved being able to support people in achieving their goals, but I also saw where gaps existed—where clients needed more personalised, practical help to manage their everyday lives.

I knew I wanted to create a service that focused on delivering meaningful, tailored support—something beyond a one-size-fits-all approach. That’s how Simply Organised with M.E. came to life.

Finding My Purpose Through Helping Others

I started small, supporting clients in their daily routines and helping them achieve goals that truly mattered to them. Through these relationships, I saw a common theme—many women felt overwhelmed by life’s responsibilities. They wanted to improve their health and well-being, organise their home and life admin, and feel more in control of their finances.

Together, we worked on small but powerful changes that transformed their daily lives—one step at a time.

The Key Areas I Help Clients With
1. Financial Well-being: Taking the Stress Out of Money

For many women, money management was a significant source of stress. They felt unsure of where their money was going or struggled to keep up with bills, budgeting, and financial organisation.

We started by exploring their relationship with money—what it meant to them and what their biggest struggles were. From there, we:
✅ Set realistic financial goals
Created simple, easy-to-follow budgets
✅ Developed a plan to reduce financial overwhelm

As time went on, I saw clients gain confidence in managing their money. Instead of feeling out of control, they took charge of their finances, reducing stress and improving their overall well-being.

2. Health & Well-being: Simple Changes, Lasting Impact

Another common challenge was maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Many clients wanted to eat better and be more active but didn’t know where to start.

When it came to healthy eating, we focused on practical, achievable strategies, such as:
🥗 Meal planning for the week
🛒 Smart shopping habits to avoid impulse buys
👩‍🍳 Simple, healthy meal prep ideas

For exercise, we knew it had to be fun and realistic—otherwise, it wouldn’t stick! Instead of overwhelming fitness routines, we started with small, enjoyable activities like:
🚶‍♀️ Daily walks by the water
🏊‍♀️ Swimming at the local pool
🛍 Window shopping as light exercise

Seeing clients gain confidence and momentum in their health journeys was incredible. Many started with short walks, then began setting personal challenges to beat their previous step count. That sense of accomplishment kept them motivated to continue.

3. Home Organisation & Life Admin: From Chaos to Clarity

Clutter was another big struggle for many women I worked with. Entire rooms had been taken over by boxes, unused items, and paperwork—turning into spaces they avoided because they felt too overwhelming to deal with.

We started small. Instead of tackling everything at once, we:
📦 Imagined the ideal space—how they wanted it to feel
🗑 Sorted items one by one—keeping only what was meaningful or necessary
🏡 Created simple systems to make staying organised easier

Little by little, those once-cluttered spaces transformed into calm, functional areas. Clients no longer felt stressed by their environment—instead, they had spaces that worked for them, not against them.

Why I Took the Leap into Business

As I worked with more clients, I saw how much these changes impacted their lives. The stress, overwhelm, and self-doubt started to fade. They felt in control, confident, and more at peace in their daily routines.

That’s when I realised—I wanted to help even more people experience these transformations.

I created Simply Organised with M.E. with this exact purpose:
To empower women to take control of their finances, home admin, and life.
To provide practical, tailored solutions that make life easier.
To replace stress with confidence, clarity, and joy.
