WHAT IS A LIFESTYLE MANAGER?
An extra pair of hands, held to the standard you set yourself.
Modern life is demanding. However organised you are professionally, the personal list never ends: the contractor who needs meeting, the flights that need moving, the birthday that needs planning, the boiler service, the school forms, the supplier who hasn't called back.
A lifestyle manager takes all of it on. Not a list of tasks handed over once, but an ongoing, trusted partnership - someone who knows your household, your preferences and your calendar well enough to act without being asked twice.
We work with a small number of clients on a monthly membership, which is what allows us to be genuinely available and completely discreet.
“Life feels better when the details are taken care of.”
DISCREET • RELIABLE • EXCEPTIONAL
Our Services
Three areas of care, entirely tailored
Most members begin with one and quietly hand over the rest. Nothing is off a fixed menu
if it matters to you, it matters to us.

HOW IT WORKS
Unhurried to begin, effortless thereafter
I
A private consultation
We meet, in person or by telephone, entirely without obligation. You describe what is taking up your time and headspace; we listen.
II
A membership shaped to you
We propose the level of support that fits, agree how we will work together, and put confidentiality in writing before anything begins.
III
Quietly, in the background
One point of contact, one person who knows how your household runs. You will notice the calm long before you notice the work.
MEET CARLY
One person, one standard - and a genuine interest in you.
I founded Colley Lifestyle Management after moving to the countryside and realising how much calmer life can feel - and how rarely busy people are given the chance to enjoy it. Everyone needs an extra pair of hands from time to time.
My background is in senior executive support: the kind of role where nothing is dropped, everything is anticipated, and discretion is simply assumed. I bring that same standard to the running of a home, a family calendar and even your business.
Because I take on a small number of members personally, I get to know how you like things done, and then I get on with it.
MEMBERSHIP
Offered monthly, to a small number of clients
To ensure absolute discretion and dedicated availability, our services are offered on a monthly basis. Hours are indicative - the shape of your membership is agreed after your consultation.
THE ESSENTIALS
8 hours per month
Consistent, foundational support for the life admin that never gets done, whether chasing an invoice, booking a supplier, or clearing an inbox. Ideal if business and home admin are both piling up.
THE BALANCE
24 hours per month
For multi-faceted lives requiring daily management across business and personal affairs, diary coordination, travel, and household logistics, so nothing falls through the gap between the two.
THE SANCTUARY
By arrangement
Following an introduction, we discuss your exact requirements and build a membership entirely around them, spanning business admin, multiple properties, and full family support.
WHERE WE WORK

COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you enquire...
To ensure absolute discretion and dedicated availability, our services are offered on a monthly basis. Hours are indicative - the shape of your membership is agreed after your consultation.
Whatever sits between you and your own time. In practice that means the household and business admin, the contractors, the diary, the travel, the events and the hundred small errands that never quite reach the top of the list. You brief once; we take it from there.
A cleaner looks after the house, a PA looks after your work, and a concierge books things on request. Lifestyle management sits across your personal life as a whole - anticipating rather than reacting, and holding the detail so you never have to chase it.
Because the value is in continuity. Knowing your household, your preferences and your suppliers is what allows us to act without asking. A monthly arrangement also means we keep availability genuinely reserved for a small number of members.
Discretion is the foundation of the service. Confidentiality is agreed in writing before any work begins, your details are never shared, and we are never publicly associated with your household unless you wish it.
We talk, without obligation and at no cost. You describe what is overwhelming you; we set out how we would handle it and what level of membership would suit. There is no pressure to proceed, and no follow-up unless you invite it.
GET IN TOUCH
Let's arrange a quiet conversation.
Tell us a little about your household and what you would most like taken off your hands. We reply personally, usually within one working day.
