Meet the Team
Veronica
I believe the function of our homes and living spaces impact and affect our lives. Our homes need to change as life circumstances change.
Hello I’m Veronica, Founder and Professional Organiser at A Hand to Help. Let me share my story of change.
As a Professional Organiser, I work with people to organise their homes to create spaces that are functional, that they can safely and comfortably live in. However, I wasn’t always a Professional Organiser. My working life started out as a seamstress working for a fashion house in Hobart. During my years there I worked my way up to running the Design Workroom. My love for colour and texture has stayed with me even though the “rag trade” is no longer my calling.
Good organising is about how we put away and then easily find what we want, when we want it. It needs to be simple and easy to use. There is no one size fits all. It’s unique to you. It is this philosophy that I embrace with my clients.
In 2019 I completed my certificate 4 in Disability to help me understand and support my clients better. But study hasn’t finished. As a member of the Institute of Challenging Disorganisation, I continue to learn and complete qualifications to enable me to be a better and more supportive Professional Organiser.
I understand change. Life is constantly changing. For lots of reasons, our homes are slow to change with us as we transition from one phase of life to another. Change can be hard!
I allow clients to have choice and control when we work together organising their belongings in their homes. Lowering anxiety and building client’s confidence to find their own organising style brings me great joy.
I get excited when clients realise organising isn’t about perfection but about having a way that works for them. It takes the pressure off and allows them to enjoy their home and improve their daily lives.

Hi I’m Remy, a Professional Organiser at A Hand To Help.
I believe that managing your belongings and environment is key to creating a space that supports your well-being.
As someone who is sentimental and has always enjoyed collecting knickknacks, art, ornaments and more, I do understand the joy in holding onto meaningful items. Creating systems and environments that are both functional and inspiring have allowed me to appreciate and manage my belongings without overwhelming my space. I find that structure gives me a sense of balance and clarity. I feel refreshed after an organising session, ready to take on the day!
With a background in disability support work and having completed studies in health and psychology, I bring a compassionate and practical approach to my support. I want you to achieve your organising goals. I believe in the value of organising systems that are personalised and best suited for your own lifestyle.
I have a love for all things art! I try to spend my free time being creative, outdoors or connecting with others. Other activities that bring me joy are gardening, reading and exercise.
I look forward to meeting you and working together at your own pace, to create a space that works for you!
Fiona
Hello! I’m Fiona, a Professional Organiser at A Hand To Help.
After enjoying a 30 year career in financial services, I’ve discovered a new purpose – to help clients regain control of their space.
In 2016, after the loss of a family member, I was entrusted with the task of sorting their belongings. This deeply personal experience sparked a realisation – I wanted to make this process lighter and less overwhelming, both for myself and others. It led me to simplify and streamline my own possessions, unlocking a newfound sense of freedom and clarity.
A firm believer that “one’s home is their castle,” I’m passionate about designing spaces that reflect each client’s unique needs and lifestyle. In 2024, I completed studies in interior design and now combine my skills to help clients organise and curate their perfect space.

What’s the best part of your working day?
Sleeping in the sun on the office chair by the window.
Kind words:
“I’m doing so well; I’ve found important papers that I never knew I had.”
“I could do it because you were here”
“I now know where everything is”
“You make it do-able!”
“I’m happy because now I can find what I need”
“He was gobsmacked and I’m so pleased!!!”
10 questions with Veronica
What’s your favorite meal of the day?
I’m a breakfast lover. It could be a cold or hot breakfast but it always happens and it comes with lots of tea.
How do you plan your day when you’re not at work?
Away from work I’m a recluse. I very much enjoy catching up with friends and like to go out, but lunch outings are my thing. When the evening comes, I prefer to be at home hanging out with the family. I enjoy pottering in my garden.
What’s your creative weakness?
I get excited about ideas and start projects that don’t always get finished. 😊
What does your desk look like?
I have a large desk. Lots of room for paper which is always there. A plant and a toy wooden train that my children played with when they were younger sits on the corner of my desk. It makes me happy being there.
What’s your favourite item or piece of furniture?
The 3-seater sofa is my favourite piece of furniture at home. I chose it not to seat more people but to have a nap on. Nothing nicer than a nap on the sofa. The sofa also doubles as the clean washing pile station. Everyone knows where to find their pile of clean clothes.
My next favourite thing is the slow cooker. The slow cooker is like one pot camp cooking. It suites my 2-step cooking philosophy.
What’s your guilty pleasure?
My guilty pleasure is breakfast in bed with a good book. It doesn’t happen often but on a cold winter weekend morning it’s a treat.
When are you happiest at work?
I’m happiest at work when I’m working with clients doing face to face sessions. Chatting, laughing and helping them with change.
What’s your go-to food?
Fruit is my go-to fuel. Love a crunchy bitter apple, mangoes are to die for and frozen fresh dates are the sticky sweet treat I enjoy with a weekend coffee.
Do you have a favorite movie?
I love movies but I’m not good at remembering them. The Blues Brothers has stuck though. Great music, classic car crashes and tacky story line.
Who do you think would be a great best friend?
Winnie the Pooh would make a great best friend. He’s thoughtful, caring, likes sweet honey and is quirky. He’s one of those friends you know you’d get a good hug from.
