About Us
It's better done than not done perfectly!
LessMess is a Professional Organising business specialising in finding solutions that work for you!
My name is Susanne and I created LessMess offering decluttering, organising and education service in 2006.
I was born in Germany, have an Engineering degree in Interior Architecture and am an award-winning gardener that likes weeding and pruning.
For the last 26 years, I have been living in Sydney’s inner west, where fitting into a small house is a financial necessity – sharing the house with my husband, three (almost) adult children, three chooks, a cat, lots of friends and (overseas) visitors.
I am an experienced workshop facilitator and public speaker. Over the years, I have been reaching a wide audience with my sustainable living workshops.
In June 2017 and again in 2018, I spoke at the world’s largest conference on happiness and wellbeing sharing my ideas about a simpler live with over 1500 delegates. You can watch the video here.
I am a founding board member of The Institute of Professional Organisers (IOPO) everyone in our team follows their Code of Conduct.
Live a life less stressful and more fulfilling
Celebrating: 17 years in business
17 Years ago, on the 10th of August 2006, I worked with my very first client. A couple of weeks earlier I had joined my Industry Association, brainstormed a business name and had my first version of this website go live. All in between caring for my kids, two in primary school one just started daycare.
Time flays, the oldest is now a High School teacher, the middle child studying overseas and the youngest started Uni last year.
I have worked with over 850 individual clients and families, turned a part time business into a full time one and now have a team of Organising Assistants and a Handyman that can help out if a job requires.
I have been featured in the media, radio and on TV as an expert commentator.
7 years ago, I started running public workshops and delivering Keynotes and can add 9633 participants to that list.
