About
Vickie Cropp- Chronic Disorganisation Specialist, CVPO
I’m Vickie—a mum, wife, friend, and the proud owner of Fresh Start Organising. If you’re expecting a super-tidy, colour-coded, perfectionist kind of organiser… well, that’s not me.
​
I’ve spent my entire life battling clutter and disorganisation. I never naturally “got” how to keep things tidy, and for years, I felt like I was just bad at being organised. My home felt overwhelming, my to-do list never ended, and I was constantly trying to stay on top of things but never quite getting there.
​
I know what it’s like to feel frustrated by clutter, drained by decision fatigue, and exhausted by the mental load of managing everything. I’ve struggled with clutter blindness, executive dysfunction, and the all-too-familiar cycle of “I’ll deal with it later” that never seems to end.
​
Can you be a messy clutter expert?
​
100% yes.
My journey with clutter has given me a unique perspective as an organiser. I don’t just understand the frustration—I’ve lived it. And I know that the real solution isn’t found in a one-size-fits-all approach, a set of pretty containers, or some magic minimalist mindset shift.
The secret? It’s about creating a system that works for YOU.
​
Why I Do This Work
​
I believe clutter is more than just stuff—it’s the weight of guilt, unfinished tasks, and expectations we never signed up for.
​
I work with women who have struggled with disorganisation their whole lives—the Type B personalities who’ve “gotten by” until suddenly, life changes and everything feels like too much. Maybe it’s menopause, a high-stress job, singlehood, parenting teens, a brain injury, or a recent ADHD diagnosis. Whatever it is, you’ve hit a wall.
​
I help women break free from the cycle of chronic disorganisation and build a home that supports the life they actually want to live.
​
My philosophy is simple:
-
Compassion first. No shame, no judgment—just real support.
-
Function over perfection. Your space should work for you, not Pinterest.
-
Less is more. Clutter steals your time, energy, and peace. Let’s take it back.
​
The Fresh Start Organising Creed
​
This isn’t about making your home “look” perfect. It’s about making it feel right. It’s about building a space that gives you time, peace, and confidence to step into the life you deserve—on your terms, in your way.
​
I will listen without judgment, guide without pressure, and help without hesitation. I will never push you to get rid of something you’re not ready to part with, and I will never expect you to fit into a system that doesn’t fit you.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not about the stuff.
It’s about you.
