Before Mel Robertson became a De-Clutter Expert, she was a cluttered, depressed and suicidal adolescent (no one thought that she was going to make it to see her 18th birthday). Now she has freedom from clutter and experiences happiness and abundance in every area of her life! And she wants you to know that no matter how much clutter you have or how far down on the vibrational scale you feel, you too can get free from clutter and experience happiness and abundance in every area of your life!
Mel is your wake up call in a world where many falsely claim that addressing the physical clutter alone is enough, and that you can get get clutter free if you just follow a schedule and stick to it (although she does believe that a regular schedule is helpful once you’ve addressed the root of the clutter).
Now Mel shares the TRUTH about being a woman who overcame her struggle with clutter and depression (as well as the very best strategies for getting organized - without feeling overwhelmed and losing yourself in the process) when she shares her experience and ideas in her newsletters, on social media, on stages and in sessions with her private clients.

Meet A Palm Desert Area Chamber Ambassador
MEL ROBERTSON – DE-CLUTTER EXPERT
A Massachusetts native, Mel has experienced an unusual life: “I was on a race track and came in 1st place before I ever came out of my mother’s womb! – My mother competed in an all-women’s Powder Puff Race when she was pregnant with me, and she came in 1st place!”
“Spirit has been the guiding Force in my life for as long as I can remember! – At five years old I was standing outside with my best friend, and her dad talking, and all I remember is that this knowing came over me as I looked up to the sky. It was this knowing that we are all brothers and sisters, because we come from the same Father. And that understanding has driven my life to be of service to others.”
“No one thought that I would live to see my 18th birthday! And yet here I am! – I experienced the dark night of my soul at 15 years old when I lost my brother to suicide. And my journey of healing is what led me to create De-Cluttering Spaces. I wasn’t always this organized and happy! In fact, I was cluttered, depressed and suicidal by the time I was 15. I spent the next year and a half of my life institutionalized in a treatment center for adolescents. But that’s where my life would drastically change. Because it was there that I was introduced to yoga and mindfulness. And what yoga and mindfulness taught me in a nutshell was how to come home in my body and be present for everything that I had been running from. And as a result of being willing to bring my presence to my life, something totally unexpected happened, I got organized from the inside out and began to experience happiness and abundance in every area of my life. And because I learned how to get free from clutter and access my birthright, I had to find a way to share that with others. So that’s why I created De-Cluttering Spaces.”
Mel moved to San Diego in 2002 and for the first couple years struggled with a crystal meth addiction. She got sober in 2004 and in 2006 began working at Mahogany Run Delivery, Inc, where she “got to play Tetris with furniture in a 10,000 square foot warehouse all day long.” She was promoted rapidly within the company becoming warehouse manager within three months, operations manager after a year and then re-structuring the company with the owner and becoming the General Manager.
Her education has been Yoga Teacher Training, Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn’s Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Program, Reiki I, and Theta Level I & II. And In 2014, she created De-Cluttering Spaces where she’s been helping clients get free from clutter; physical, mental & emotional, so they can experience happiness and abundance in every area of their lives.
Mel believes that “It’s your birthright to be happy & abundant, and clutter is anything that keeps you from accessing that birthright.”
Mel wanted to be part of the PDACC Ambassador Team to make connections and to give back to the community. “Being an Ambassador has helped me get out of my shell and talk to people instead of standing on the wall! It pushes me out of my comfort zone! I’ve made great connections in the short time that I have been an ambassador.”
Mel is most proud of “marriage to my beautiful wife Amy, and the creation and success of De-Cluttering Spaces!” She would like to be remembered for her heart…and for spreading unconditional love to everyone she meets!"
