HAPPILY SORTED
simplify what's complicated
I'm Lynn. I live in Leicestershire with my husband, two daughters, and two very naughty (but cute) sausage dogs. Our home is what I call “friendly tidy”. Everything has a place, we don't own more than we need, and we can be ten minutes to tidy if someone drops by unexpectedly. It's not perfect. It doesn't need to be.
I help people whose lives have got complicated. Sometimes that means a house so full of stuff they can't think straight. Sometimes it means a career crossroads, a family crisis, or just the quiet weight of too many demands and not enough space to breathe. I work online, one-to-one, and it always starts wherever you are.
My working life before this was a tale of two halves. I spent ten years in retail marketing at Boots. My job was to make people buy more, and I was good at it. I know how consumption works because I've been paid to create it. After having children, I moved into data and leadership roles in education. A different kind of busy, but no less relentless. Like a lot of working parents, I spent years juggling everything and quietly feeling like I wasn't doing any of it well.
In 2016, I read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying by Marie Kondo, and something clicked. I let go of two-thirds of my clothes. Ten carloads of belongings left the house. The impact was immediate. Our home felt calmer. My head felt clearer. Life became simpler. And everyone in the family felt happier. That experience changed the direction of my life.
About Lynn
"It was never really about the stuff."
I retrained with Marie Kondo in New York and began supporting people to simplify their homes. I loved this work. And within minutes of walking into someone's home, I could usually sense what was really going on. Clutter was almost always a symptom of something deeper. As physical space was created, bigger conversations emerged: about work, relationships, identity, habits, and what people truly wanted from their lives.
That's what led me to coaching. Over the past several years I've completed more than 4,000 hours of one-to-one work. I've coached at Loughborough University, helped clients with career changes, business planning, CVs, EHCP applications, bereavement, and navigating neurodiversity. All alongside the home and life simplification I'm best known for. The common thread is always the same: someone feels stuck, and we find a way through.
Because nobody is ever really stuck. They just can't see the way forward yet.
I'm a member of the International Coaching Federation and the Association of Professional Declutterers and Organisers. I work warmly, purposefully, and without judgement. And I always believe things can be simpler than they feel right now.
