What our amazing clients have to say about their Orka Living experience.

"...the whole experience of working with her was so much more than decluttering physical space (which she does wonderfully well)..."
Julia was just lovely... she has also helped me to take back control of my diary and mindset too.

"Julia has been a complete godsend she is amazing and works really hard to make the process easy for me."
Having Julia from Orka Living come and help me declutter and organise my whole house has made such a difference to me and my mental health, I no longer struggle about in complete chaos, I don’t stress about everything I should tidy/declutter or sort out. I am happier within myself and am delighted that someone somewhere will benefit from everything I send away with Julia. I find the whole process cathartic.

"Well what can I say other than I am delighted with the professional way the girls followed my wishes..."
... and I don't feel bogged down with worry now as I had been before.

"Julia was absolutely one hundred percent supportive, helpful and professional helping me pack family home."
She also organised storage of furniture and belongings whilst waiting on downsize bungalow. Then organised everything from storage and placed furniture and belongings in new bungalow.
I could not have coped without Orka Living. I recommend Julia and assistant to help declutter years of ‘stuff’ they bring empty boxes, fill them and take away. Perfect.

"She made my daunting task so much easier and I couldn’t rate her more highly."
I worked with the lovely Julia firstly to declutter our home before it went on the market and then she helped me pack up to move. She was so efficient, supportive and hardworking. A true gem.

"Julia’s service is first class, I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to organise their life."
During lockdown I spoke to Julia about wanting to organise my house. I told her I had too much "stuff" and didn't know where I wanted to put it all. I also have rooms in house that were/are being refitted so everything was just so unorganised. As it was lockdown, Julia asked if I would send her photos of the rooms and try to explain them. Julia then came back to me with several ideas as to what I could do to start off. I was really pleased with her suggestions and that she was still willing to work with me even though she could not come into my house. When it was allowed Julia came to me and we walked through the house Julia offering suggestions as we done this. Julia has been to my house and started in kitchen cupboards, I left her to get on with it and wow I just thought why had I not thought to do some of the things she had done. My organisation for my house is an on going project and Julia has been there for me all the time and she still is helping me. She spent lots of time getting to know me and understanding what I was looking for. Julia made Pinterest boards with everything we had spoke about and sent links to items we spoke about. Julia’s service is first class, I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to organise their life. Thank you for all your help and support so far and we will continue in my house when things are calmer for us.

"Absolutely loved working with Julia."
She helped when we moved into our house a few years ago, but most recently helped us pack up our entire house/life into suitcases to move abroad!!!
Julia and her team made the transition and downsizing feel so much more manageable and they made our life easier during what was a very hectic time 🙌🏻The organisation level is brilliant! Thank you so much, I will keep shouting to everyone how amazing you and your services are.🥰

"To cut a long story short, I could not have coped without her."
In December '23, I moved from a 3 bedroom, 3 public room detached house to a 2 bedroom flat. On the recommendation of a friend, I employed Julia to help me downsize. I didn't know where to start. She advised me on what to keep and what to dispose of. She took many car loads away on each visit to sell or give to charity shops. I would strongly recommend employing Julia if you are moving or downsizing.

“I now enjoy the amazing result - tidy shelves with nice, compact containers with contents easily identifiable…. Julia’s enthusiasm is infectious.”

I was encouraged to invite Julia to help me tidy some cupboards and was amazed with the end result. Although I thought my kitchen cupboards were in good shape how wrong I was! Julia encouraged me to decide what I really needed and used on a daily basis, and what to bin or give to a charity shop. I now enjoy the amazing result - tidy shelves with nice, compact containers with contents easily identifiable. Because I suffer from back pain, Julia ensured that everything was easily accessible for me. We then moved to the linen cupboard using the same criteria. I now have separate containers for towels, bedding etc. Julia’s enthusiasm is infectious.

“Ten years of procrastination was wiped out in less than two hours.”

I had put off clearing out my kitchen cupboards for the best part of ten years. Then Julia came along. First, she encouraged me to make a start. Then she and I went through the cupboards item by item. She gave me three choices: keep it, take it to the tip/recycle or send it to the charity shop. To help me decide, she taught me the twenty/twenty rule. If you can replace it in less than twenty minutes for less than twenty pounds, you don’t need to keep it. Ten years of procrastination was wiped out in less than two hours. Now I just have to figure out what to do with all the space in my cupboards!

" I now have peace of mind, less stress and as a consequence, more time to myself."
Julia's considerable skills with technology have made my life so much easier. My phone and tablet had become a bit like my house at times - namely disorganized, bursting at the seams and causing me considerable anxiety!
She set about organising and simplifying my data and also giving me the skills to deal with it in the future. My phone and tablet are now operating much more efficiently, and I now have peace of mind, less stress and as a consequence, more time to myself.
