For what reason did you initially contact Domestic Downsizing?
We contacted Kerri when our last adult child had moved out of home and we needed to revamp the kids area. We also had some incoming furniture etc from an inheritance and we were unclear about how to manage incorporating these items.

What was your experience working with Kerri?
Kerri spent some time with us assessing our needs and just the assessment session was so helpful we started to see she could also assist us with a "blackhole" in our house (a laundry/workshop) and also a home study so we got the Going, Going, Gone package which was worth every penny. Kerri was upbeat, incredibly helpful in assisting us to make decisions and very hardworking. For the first stage of the project, sorting through and revamping the prior kids' rooms, her interior styling skills made a huge difference to what was a dull and gloomy area.

What differences have you experienced following the decluttering & organising service?
We now have fully functioning guest accommodation which was given a good tryout over the summer break, we now know where everything is in the laundry/workshop which has resulted in many unfinished jobs being finished and the study works very well so that when we need to get a book or retrieve something else from the shelves it's easy.

What would you say to someone thinking of using Domestic Downsizing services?
I wished I'd done this a long time ago. From 3 four hour visits it feels like a minor miracle has occurred. Downstairs is no longer a messy "dungeon" and the study is really useable for the first time in many years. Kerri is competent, cheerful and a pleasure to work with and she provides excellent value for her professional fee.

I originally emailed Kerri from her website to find out what a feng shui consultation entailed. I became interested in feng shui after reading about it on the internet and in books, a lot of its principles I was following it already without even knowing (I kept thinking "Yes! Thats what I always say").

I wanted some advice about buying and arranging furniture; although I consider myself quite minimalist, still found myself with some clutter.

I found Kerri to be very approachable and friendly on the phone and by the time we met already felt like a friend.

She gave me some tips on arranging furniture, colours and elements to enhance different areas of the house.

I especially liked the fact that Kerri was happy to spend the time to listen to and successfully answer all of my questions (and I know there were lots), she even knew how to throw away a broken wheelie-bin.

I am in the process of following these suggestions and now the house feels calmer and cleaner. Sometimes you just walk into a home and it feels 'right', Kerri has made my home feel just right too.

Kerri, it's been such pleasure working with you to de-clutter my home - I'm amazed you aren't a broken woman! The surprise for me wasn't that I have more space in my newly tidy unit, but that I have acquired more time in my life to do things I couldn't do when I was hunting for that lost cheque, missing left shoe and my Census questionnaire. I'll definitely call you when I move house!

I now have a new lease on my business life! My home office received a mini makeover from Kerri Rodley from Domestic Downsizing! My space now resembles a well organised, systemised and productive area enabling me and my family to operate and work well to achieve our daily business/personal tasks without spending precious time searching for lost things! Kerri you are a dream!

I have been looking for something to help me with my relationship which had become very stagnant. I was feeling very unsettled and didn’t like my home environment either. Everything was starting to close in on me, which in turn was keeping my energy very low and I felt very unhappy.

I met Kerri at a networking event and I felt very comfortable speaking with her and found it really easy to be in her energy. She introduced herself as a Feng Shui Practitioner, and a professional organiser. When I heard this, I felt Kerri could offer me what I needed to relieve my unhappiness and my emotional disconnection to everything.

Kerri visited my home and I spoke very candidly with her about my fears and aspirations. Kerri was approachable and a very good listener. After a few days I received my Feng Shui Report which included other general information on how to de-clutter my home.

Within a week of putting into place the relationship Feng Shui tips first and also doing a very big de-clutter of my home, I noticed a very big difference in my attitude to my husband and also to my living environment. These changes were only minor and do not cost me a heap of money to put into place.

The difference in the energy of my home is amazing. My personal energy feels so much lighter as well. As I get through the rest of my home, de-cluttering and placing certain Feng Shui cures in place, the changes are becoming even more prominent.

Kerri is a very professional, caring lady. Her knowledge in changing one’s environment is insurmountable. The key, I feel, was being honest with myself and also with Kerri, regarding the things I wanted to change in my life.

Thank you Kerri for an amazing night last week, when you helped us to de-clutter, design and re-energize our house. We loved all your suggestions and our friends are commenting on the great new "feel" in our home. Love your work!

Kerri your help in organising our junk room/office has resulted in a calmer household. We can find things, quickly, so each of us is now more efficient and happier. A certain amount of stress and frustration has lifted. We no longer avoid office chores, especially as the organised space helps us to finish tasks much faster than before. I actually want to spend time in my office now.

Decluttering was the first stage, now we are slowly able to move toward making the room look more attractive. Just like putting the cart before the horse, it's impossible to make a junk pile look pretty. Your time and effort in helping me to sift through our lifetime's worth of belongings has put us back on track to achieving a beautiful, clear home. I appreciate the respectful way you approached my attachment to unlikely treasures. You are practical, efficient and with a great eye for creating clarity and flow in a space. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you, or to call upon you again. The experience was so valuable and I feel that you are good value for money.

I was lucky enough to win a 2 hour Mini Miracle package with Kerri. We had moved into a new house when our second child was born and embarrassingly, several months later our walk in wardrobe still had moving boxes in it!

So I jumped at the chance to have Kerri's help with getting things under control. Kerri definitely knows what she's doing. She helped me work through what items to keep, donate or throw out and gave great advice on how to order my clothes in a way that worked for me.

In no time at all, the space looked clean and orderly. I now look forward to going in there and have since used her advice to tackle other areas of the house. I highly recommend Kerri's services to anyone!

My plan had come together – I was beginning of the process of building my new room for my business. I had all the usual things organised, plans, builders, approvals but I wanted to make sure that I had everything in its right place.

I contacted Kerri at Domestic Downsizing for a Feng Shui consultation and we simply started with my mud map of what my new space was to look like.

From our first meeting your professionalism and care were obvious. Your attention to detail and respect of how the original space was laid out and the ideas I had for the new space was fantastic. You even let me ask ALL of those silly little questions and then you were able to answer all of them.

I now have my new room built and all the suggestions that you gave me have been put in place. My new space feels fantastic and I can confidently know that everything is in its right place.

It is all going really well. We covered so much in just 3 hours! I am now continuing with the rest of the house but you have given me lots of hope for abundance and organisation in the future. It is the things that you have taught me that I am most thankful for. And you should see my bathrooms now - they are lovely. Thank you!

For what reason did you initially contact Domestic Downsizing?
I had accumulated a lot of clothing and bric a brac over the years and was having difficulty deciding what to get rid of to make more space for a home business. I wanted to make-over my house to make it more functional and beautiful, without actually renovating.

What was your experience working with Kerri?
Kerri is very friendly and professional and generous with information and tips. When she did the initial assessment she asked me a lot of questions which helped me to understand what was holding me back from changing my environment, and she gave me lots of wonderful ideas on how to create a more positive space. We then made an appointment to declutter my work space. During that process we got rid of a lot of things that I didn't really like or need but didn't know how to deal with before. We made room for me to move forward with my home business. Afterwards, Kerri sent me two e-books which I really enjoyed. Having learned the basics in person I got a lot out of the written material.

What differences have you experienced following the decluttering & organising service?
I now have more space for my business and am using the skills Kerri taught me to declutter and brighten up my whole house.

What would you say to someone thinking of using Domestic Downsizing services?
I found Kerri very motivating and understanding and intuitive about the problems I was having with my house. I would recommend Kerri to anyone looking for a simpler, more organised and more positive environment.

Over the last few weeks I have been feeling amazing. Doing the declutter with Kerri has been part of a massive amount of emotional work and healing.

This has allowed me to review the situation check my emotional state to see if I am still holding onto emotions that are no longer valid whilst also enhancing and providing more fond memories of passed loved ones.

I don't think I have ever undergone as dramatic a cleanout as what Kerri assisted me with and really did not know that from this exercise comes so much good. I believe what we started to be extremely vital for me in moving forward and upward in my life. Plus I can't believe we covered it in the time we did!

Thanks so much Kerri for your wonderful organisation skills, support and warmth.
