My life has been a journey of self-discovery, from starting my career as a secretary in a small law firm, in my hometown, to working my way up to PA to a board of directors of a music business in London. I have been lucky enough to live in various parts of the UK as well as overseas.
At last, I have found my life purpose. Helping people declutter from both the physical and mental clutter that we all carry throughout our lives.
When I am not working you will find me dancing, walking, reading or writing. I am always seeking ways to develop both spiritually and physically, so that I am a better person, not just for myself, but for those who are in my life.

Dirk Albrodt was born in Germany, living in the Netherlands since 2002. I wrote my first book when I was 18. It was like a small miracle and shaped my future career: the first and only publisher I sent the manuscript to published it. Since then, I have written more than 20 books and countless articles and contributions in newspapers, magazines, blogs, etc. From the late 70s to the mid 80s I worked in a care setting, then in a hospital. I then trained as a naturopath in Germany and on this basis later also obtained a licence as such in the Netherlands, where I worked in my own practice, Praktik Klaproos.
In the 1990s I led a research project on flower essences in pregnancy, which resulted in a book with the same title. This was followed by many lectures and courses in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and occasionally further afield.
I later produced two music CDs with healing sounds and am now mainly involved in the production of virtual training courses and new books.
Two of my titles have been published in English: The Essence of Meditation and Archetypal Flower Essences.
