How do I know where to start?

Marie Kondo’s KonMari® Method begins with clothing. Starting with a category that doesn’t evoke an emotional response is the goal, so that your ability to “joy check” is honed before you come across something more sentimental. For our purposes, we can start with an urgent pain point, as long as we take Marie’s advice within that space and begin with easy decisions.

How should I prepare for our session?

Relax. Working with a KonMari® Consultant takes the stress out of the decluttering process. Focus on your reasons for embarking on this journey and, most importantly, don’t clean up! I want to see how you live on a normal day, not how your home looks before your in-laws arrive.

How are you different from other Professional Organizers?

I work one-on-one with clients to help them release excess with gratitude. My coaching style incorporates the KonMari® Method and the basic tenets of Minimalism, resulting in a gentle, non-judgmental space to grow. My clients develop the skills to keep their homes tidy and running smoothly on their own.

How long does it take to tidy?

The pace is set by the client. We move at a speed you are comfortable with, which may vary based on category and lifestyle. Clients who become enthusiastic about the method often complete tasks on their own between sessions, while others prefer a guided approach.

Can you bring me bins?

Certainly!

During the decluttering process I prefer not to bring any new items into the home. We won’t know what you need for storage until we know what you’re storing! Baskets, bins, drawer dividers, and other tools that are functional or simply spark joy can be part of the finished space, but it’s absolutely possible to create major change without a single purchase.

Do we have to use The Method?

The best way to declutter is the way that works for you. I adapt my method based on the needs of each client, because not everyone can turn their house upside down until the task is complete. We can remain in the spirit of the KonMari® Method and still make it simple and accessible for every unique home.
