About Us
Moving later in life can be daunting — emotionally, practically, and physically. Downsizing, decluttering, and letting go of possessions and familiar surroundings often brings uncertainty. And when family members live far away, the process can feel even more overwhelming.
SECOND SPACE offers thoughtful, compassionate guidance for seniors and their families — helping each person move with grace into the next chapter of life.
We specialise in preparing older adults, and other clients with similar needs, as they downsize or transition into new homes, retirement villages, or care facilities – with care that balances practical organisation and emotional understanding.
Moving With Grace
Transitions can stir deep emotions — loss, nostalgia, excitement, or relief.
SECOND SPACE helps you navigate those feelings gently, by:
- Listening with empathy.
- Encouraging calm, confident decision-making.
- Framing the move as a step toward support and ease, not a loss of independence.
- Helping families communicate and align expectations.
Why Choose Us?
Choosing someone to help and support you or someone you love in a time that is stressful and challenging, takes a lot of trust.
At SECOND SPACE we take that responsibility very seriously, and we work with grace, integrity, and respect.

What We Do
Every client’s needs are unique and require an individual and tailored approach. Downsizing, decluttering, and moving are stressful situations for everyone, and for people who are older or in need of hands-on help, it can be challenging – physically and emotionally.
Modern families often live far away, and they may need the assistance of a professional organiser, someone who is caring and kind, but also firm and practical, to oversee and guide the moving process.
Our services include:
- Sorting, organising, and decluttering with empathy and respect.
- Planning and coordination of each stage.
- Help with packing and unpacking.
- Hands-on help settling in and making the new space feel like home.

Specialisation
Second Space only packs for the senior. We are not a moving company. We don’t pack for the rest of the household or the rest of the home. We can refer you to suitable moving companies, if needed.
Rina brings a rare blend of organisation, warmth, and steady professionalism to her work with older adults. With a background in psychology, communication, and adult development, she has built her career around understanding diverse people and supporting them through change. Her approach is calm, kind, and quietly confident – the sort of presence that helps seniors feel safe enough to open up, and supported enough to move forward. She offers emotional steadiness, practical clarity, and the patience required to guide someone through what can feel like an overwhelming transition.
Her experience stretches across pastoral care, lay counselling, adult training, and years of hands-on support within medical and corporate environments. She has spent the past several years working closely with seniors through both phone contact and face-to-face visits, offering companionship, checking in on wellbeing, and helping them prepare for significant lifestyle changes such as downsizing or moving to a retirement village. She understands the fears that come with loss of independence, the emotional weight of sorting through a lifetime of belongings, and the need for thoughtful, firm-but-gentle guidance.
As the organiser behind SECOND SPACE, Rina brings all this together: her skill in helping people adapt, her ability to listen deeply, and her talent for creating order out of uncertainty. She is caring without being sentimental, patient without losing direction, and firm when decisions need to be made. Her work honours each person’s history while helping them step into their next chapter with confidence and grace – a steady hand for those navigating one of life’s biggest transitions.
