PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND

LET GO – MOVE ON 

Declutter-Life Coach
Jan 2018 – Present, Sydney, Australia

The key to a better life is to get the clutter out, to take back control of our mind and of all areas of our life.

My online coaching programs and trainings help my clients clear up their homes, minds, and lives – they learn to let go of what no longer serves them and to move on, with more space, clarity, lightness, energy, and joy.

The purpose of ZAK was (and still is) to offer its clients all kinds of support services which help them to have a good life at home.
