Tell us a little about yourself and your clinics?
The new year is a natural opportunity to refresh your life and make some changes. In the spirit of starting over, we sat down with Shelina Jokhiya, an expert in decluttering anda skilled professional organiser, to talk through how mothers can tackle clutter to move into the new year organised and calm.
Tell us a little about yourself?
I was born and raised in Kent, England. I trained as a lawyer, or a Solicitor as they call it in England, working for big global businesses based in London and Dubai. My first job in Dubai was working at Emirates in the Legal Department and then I moved onto a few other companies, working my way up to Head of Legal for a global company. However, in 2013 it got too much. I was overworked, tired, stressed, anxious and miserable. I didn’t get to see the daytime. One day, I simply had enough. I shut my office door and started researching how to be an organiser.
I had thought about being an organiser for a few years, especially in the early 2000s when I was working in London. But I didn’t think anyone would pay for a service like this. It turned out I was wrong by 2013 it was a huge industry in the USA and UK. However, there was no one doing it in the Middle East. I decided that day to take the plunge and start my own business. Decluttr Me was created in early 2013. I managed to quit my job by that September and have been helping people get organised ever since with my business Decluttr Me.
