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 30 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 2018 and again in 2023, 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 and here
I am a founding board member of The Institute of Professional Organisers (IOPO) everyone in our team follows their Code of Practice.
Live a life less stressful and more fulfilling
Celebrating: 20 years in business
20 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.
Twenty years later, I have worked with more than 2,000 individual clients and families, turned a part-time business into a full-time one and built a team of Organising Assistants and a Handyman who can help when a project requires it. I have fostered strong relationships with associated services like cleaners, removalists, and rubbish removal.
I have been featured in the media, radio and on TV as an expert commentator.
In 2014, I started running public workshops and delivering Keynotes and can add 10000 participants to that list.
I am proud of how LessMess has grown from those humble beginnings.
