I’m Marina Mahnken, a Professional Home Organizer and Decluttering Expert proudly serving Monmouth County and parts of Middlesex County, New Jersey. With a deep understanding of how ADHD and chronic disorganization can impact daily life, I specialize in helping my clients overcome clutter-related challenges and reclaim their spaces.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, I now reside in Manalapan, New Jersey. I am a proud mom of three daughters (plus five cats!) and have been married for nearly two decades. As a former certified preschool teacher, I bring my teaching background into my work, combining my skills with a passion for decluttering, organizing, and simplifying. My mission is to create calm, functional spaces that seamlessly fit my clients’ lifestyles.

I founded Declutter My Clutter in early 2016 in Monmouth County, starting as a one-woman business and growing it into a team of six Organizers. After a brief move to Central Florida in 2021, where I managed the business solo, I returned to New Jersey and have since resumed my role as the sole Organizer, bringing my expertise back to the local community.

As a Professional Member of the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals (NAPO), I have earned multiple specialist certificates in Residential Organizing, Workplace Productivity, Life Transitions, and Team Productivity. I also hold a Foundations Certificate of Study in Chronic Disorganization from The Institute for Challenging Disorganization, ensuring my approach is grounded in expert knowledge, empathy, and respect for my clients’ individual needs.

I approach my work with a unique blend of compassion and expertise. My goal is not to create “Instagram-perfect” spaces but to design realistic, lasting solutions that reflect each client’s habits and needs. By focusing on how people naturally use their spaces, I help clients achieve meaningful, long-term organization that truly enhances their daily lives.

When I am not helping clients, I find joy in spending time outdoors, especially during the warm spring and summer months. I love taking walks in Monmouth County parks, enjoying the Jersey Shore beaches, and nurturing my backyard garden, where I grow herbs and vegetables. A music enthusiast at heart, my playlist features favorites like Tool, Radiohead, Pearl Jam, Chris Cornell, Tori Amos, and Pink Floyd.

Don’t let clutter and disorganization hold you back any longer – keeping you from finding your things, enjoying your home, or inviting guests over. Contact me today, and let’s get started right where you are!
