Get to Know Sam

Hi!

I’m Sam, the founder of So Organised with Sam. As a professional organiser, my journey began from a place of personal experience. I understand the feelings of overwhelm, embarrassment, and the desire for a more organised life. This personal connection fuels my mission to help others transform their spaces and make their lives easier.

While working in an office role, I completed my CPD accreditation in Professional Organising and carried out work experience with the one and only Dilly Carter of Declutter Dollies. I bring expertise, compassion, and a non-judgmental approach to every project. I genuinely believe that an organised home can have a profound impact on your overall well-being and happiness. My goal is to be your accountability partner to guide and support you throughout the process, making it a positive and empowering experience.

Testimonials

what our customers are saying

Thank you so much for yesterday Sam. It was so worth getting cold and wet for.

I’ve taken great pleasure in telling people about my new garage and the thought of going in there doesn’t give me the doom anymore. Thanks very much again. 

Garage Organisation

Sam completely transformed our sons playroom! We managed to edit a lot of toys out and Sam reorganized and changed the layout of the whole space so it is now far more manageable. She brought a wealth of storage/organization suggestions which I never would have thought of. The kids now know where everything goes and it has remained in fairly good order ever since. Highly recommend Sam’s service!

Jen Robertson-Edgar

Finally found a solution to decluttering my kitchen!  2 car boots of items taken to charity that I didn’t need and don’t miss! Thank you Sam, you did an amazing job!

Moira Craib

Thanks so much for coming out again today I know how precious family time is at weekends so really appreciate it.

Making dinner tonight was a dream – love my kitchen again! It’s amazing how much of a difference it’s made.

Kitchen Organisation,

Sam reorganised our kitchen and utility room following a reduction in storage space and we are delighted with the results. Two months on, we are able to maintain the reorganisation (mostly!) and the kitchen is more pleasant to use and easier to keep tidy.

Sam is very pleasant and professional to work with and I wouldn’t hesitate to either recommend her or have her return to tackle more rooms.

Nicola Perry

Sam made an incredible transformation of our office from overcrowded clutter to an organised, calm space.  She had many good tips about ways to maximise space as well as declutter. Life changing!

My Career

I started in the Oil and Gas industry and I have worked for the last 15 years in Engineering and Consultancy roles. In this time, I have developed great communication skills, time management skills and a meticulous attention to detail.  Working in this industry has given me the opportunity to be adaptable and collaborative while planning and coordinating projects.

My Home Life

When I’m not working, I have a busy home life filled with joy. In Stonehaven, I share a home with my husband, our two sons and our dachshund Coco. We love the opportunity to spend time together as a family, walking on the beach or having adventures in all the local woods. As the kids grow older and immerse themselves in school and their various activities, I realised the importance of self-care. Running is my version of self-care. It has been a massive stress-reliever and gives me precious moments of peace. Additionally, I have also recently discovered Jazzercise which is pure happiness and fun. As parents, it is so vital that we do something for ourselves to recharge our batteries and look after our own wellbeing. By investing time in my own well-being, I am able to unlock the best version of myself.

Organising and decluttering in my home

Has meant that I spend less time tidying and have more time to spend with my family and enjoy those moments of self-care. It’s safe to say that having an organised home has played a huge role in improving my overall mental wellbeing.

There is no denying it anymore... It's bloody freezing outside and the heating is on and here to stay! At this time of year, we spend a lot more time inside. But what if you home feels like it's got an identity crisis... Reminders of summer - sandals hanging around the front door AND Winter reinforcements arrived - blankets and cosy socks for maximum comfort Do you do seasonal switchover? Let me know what you can do to give your home room to breathe ⬇️
Don't put it off! Sort out your garage or shed now! These spaces don't have to be the dumping ground. There is still time to give them a proper reset this autumn. Think about how happy you'll feel to open the door to a tidy space where everything is easy to find and has a purpose. There are still a few spaces available in my diary this October to help you reset those spaces.

Let's be clear on this... You cannot make spaces function or look pretty until you've done a declutter. Without removing the items you no longer need, you feel like the area needs your constant attention to keep it in check. I know that decluttering can feel hard sometimes and if you're anything like me you cant wait to get everything put away in containers. But...decluttering is essential! Not only will it make organising simplier but it will also be far easier to maintain a beautifully organised space. And who doesn't want to save time by no longer having to look for things and save money from no longer buying duplicates because you couldn't see that you already had it. Make sure you follow along for more tips from me to get you out of the chaos and into the calm 💜 #DeclutteringMotivation #DeclutteringTips #DeclutterYourHome #HomeOrganisation #ProfessionalOrganiserScotland #DeclutterAberdeen
