I provide organising & companionship services for disabled people and those who are adapting to new limits and perspectives brought about through ageing or illness. 

Organising the objects that make the home…

The spaces we live in shape our daily rhythms, the ways we think and reflect. They are practical and meaningful, from utensils placed near to hand in the kitchen to the histories of important people and places hanging on our walls and displayed on our shelves. As we change, what is now useful and what is now significant changes with us. There are archives of papers in the study,  an array of the used and the perhaps useful in our attics and the evolving complexities of our wardrobes. And then there are all the things in the boxes that never got their time to be organised. 

Organising the space that gives form to vocation…

In our studios, studies and workshops, the space and the work are symbiotic. We can reorient our practise, refine processes and change how we think by organising tools, books, materials and that which we contemplate with.

Age and injury can change what our hands and eyes can do; new rhythms of rest and movement are needed. And after a time of great difficulty we may find ourselves in a fundamental reconfiguration of what is meaningful. Our pursuits, our craft and processes have to move with us, and our things, our space can structure these shifts. 

Practical & intellectual companionship...

I support people to continue their particular pursuits, within and without the home. In the study or studio, I can assist in research, read texts aloud and help navigate AI use for writing.

Outside the home, I provide discreet practical assistance, driving you and supporting your safe passage to a particular destination. I can get you to your seat at the theatre, the workshop or lecture, assisting with coming in and out of the car and the use of a wheelchair or sticks as required.

If you seek a companion for the activity, I can accompany you and share conversation, be it at an art exhibition, shopping for provisions or a wander on the Downs.

About Natasha...

Over nearly 30 years of professional life, the meanings that lay inside of our work, our effects, our words and even our admin systems have been important to me. I serve people who want and need that understanding, alongside a deeply practical service.

I have worked in government, not-for-profit and commercial entities, often managing people and always focused on communication and articulation. I spent 18 years overseas before returning to the UK in 2022. Over the last several years, I have gradually manoeuvred away from the desk into work that is more material and more physical.

Experience…

My career began in the UK managing a student union and then a charity. I spent 10 years in Singapore as a writer, branding consultant and corporate communications manager. On to Amsterdam, I focused on articulation consulting for people who understand their work as a vocation, be they artist, teacher, advisor or inventor. 

Besides Clarity, I continue to advise several long-time articulation consulting clients. I pursue lifelong interests in the study and application of theology and philosophy. Recently I took on the role of assistant to my 10-year-old, as we construct a 4739-piece brick model car.  I regularly reorganise my own space and use the daily machinations of mundane activity, be it typing, cleaning or driving, to act as a sort of terribly practical, contemplative practise.
