Marina Mahnken is a Professional Home Organizer and Decluttering Expert serving Monmouth County and parts of Middlesex County, New Jersey. With a deep understanding of how ADHD and chronic disorganization can impact daily life, Marina specializes in helping her clients overcome clutter-related challenges.
Marina was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York and currently lives in Manalapan, New Jersey. She is a mom of three daughters (plus five cats) and is a wife for nearly two decades. As a former certified preschool teacher, Marina combines her teaching background with a passion for decluttering, organizing, and simplifying to create calm and functional spaces that fit her clients’ lifestyles.
Marina founded Declutter My Clutter in early 2016 in Monmouth County, growing it into a small team of six Organizers. After a brief move to Central Florida in 2021, where she ran the business solo, Marina returned to Monmouth County, New Jersey and is back to being a one-woman operation, now the sole Organizer of the business once again.
As a Professional Member of the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals (NAPO), Marina holds multiple specialist certificates in Residential Organizing, Workplace Productivity, Life Transitions, and Team Productivity. She also has a Foundations Certificate of Study in Chronic Disorganization from The Institute for Challenging Disorganization, ensuring her approach is grounded in expert knowledge and compassion.
Marina approaches her work with a unique blend of compassion and expertise. Marina’s goal is not to create “Instagram-perfect” spaces but to craft realistic, lasting solutions tailored to each client’s individual habits and needs. By understanding how people naturally use their spaces, she helps her clients achieve lasting organization that enhances their daily lives.
In her personal life, Marina finds joy in embracing the great outdoors during the warm seasons of spring and summer, taking walks in Monmouth County parks, and enjoying the Jersey shore beaches. She’s also a music enthusiast with a love for artists like Tool, Radiohead, Pearl Jam, Chris Cornell, Tori Amos, and Pink Floyd. She has recently discovered a love for backyard gardening, especially growing herbs and vegetables.
