You don’t need another system that looks beautiful for three days and then falls apart.

You don’t need more containers.

And you definitely don’t need to become an entirely different person to keep your home organized.

You need a home that works for the person who actually lives there.

That’s what we create together.

I DON’T SEE YOUR MESS THE WAY YOU DO.

I know that sometimes you might feel nervous about letting me into your home, especially if you’ve spent months—or years—telling yourself you really should have sorted this out by now.

I know you’ve tried.
More than once too.

You’ve probably even bought the containers, moved the piles and cleared the kitchen bench only to find everything migrating back a few days later.

Maybe, like me, you’ve spent far too much time wondering why you can’t just keep on top of it, and the mess itself has started to feel like evidence of failing something you should be better at by now.

I understand that feeling so deeply.

But while you’re worrying about what I’m going to think about the cupboard you can’t close or the basement you’ve been avoiding for years, my brain is already playing Lego.

I’m looking at the whole space and moving things around in my head, categorizing, calculating, seeing where something could fit, where a shelf could completely change the way the room works and how we could create a system that makes putting something away easier than continuing to move it around. 

You see everything that’s wrong with the room, but I see somewhere we can start.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO CLEAN BEFORE I COME.

Seriously.

Don’t spend three days frantically organizing your house before hiring the person you’ve hired to help you organize your house.

I don’t need to see the version of your home that looks good.

I need to see the version you actually live in.

That’s where the useful information is.

I ORGANIZE FOR THE HUMAN WHO ACTUALLY LIVES HERE.

BEFORE I ORGANIZE YOUR SPACE, I WANT TO UNDERSTAND YOU.

Human Design gives me another way of understanding the whole picture of the person standing beside me.
I use it within my organizing work to pay attention to how you make decisions, what you have energy for, what kind of environment supports you, how much structure or flexibility might feel good, along with all the little things your body is telling me while we’re standing there deciding whether you actually want to keep something.

Your chart gives me another layer of information to work with, but you’re always the expert on you.

Your design comes into the room with us too—not as a set of rules about how you’re supposed to live, but as another way of understanding what might help you feel more at home in your own space.

WHAT DO WE ACTUALLY DO?

SOMETIMES WE END UP IN THE BASEMENT.

Yup, literally and figuratively.

I go to the depths with people, and sometimes that means looking at the things you’ve been walking past for years and asking:

What are you avoiding?
What aren’t you looking at?
What aren’t you making decisions on?

Because clearing a space means making decisions, and often times the things sitting there are still sitting there simply because we haven’t known what decision to make about them.

Sometimes sure, it’s just a box of shit.

But I’ve also stood beside enough people while they go through their things to know that sometimes we’re not holding onto the thing because we need the thing.

We’re holding onto a decision we haven’t made yet.

Sometimes we’re grieving something.
Sometimes we’re admitting that a version of our life has ended.
Sometimes we’re deciding what gets to come with us into the next one.

I’m not there to judge any of that.

I’m there to help you move through it.

WE’RE NOT MEANT TO DO EVERYTHING ON OUR OWN.

This is why I want to work beside you rather than sweep into your home and organize it for you.

I work with women who are ready to participate, who are willing to go through the literal and figurative basement with me and make some of the decisions they’ve been avoiding.

You might need another brain in the room.
You might need someone who can see the whole picture when you can’t.
You might simply need a buddy beside you while you start.

I’ve needed help too, and sometimes another person beside us is exactly what helps us move.

And I also don’t want you to need me forever.

I want to show you that you can do this too.
I want you to understand what we’re doing together and leave with tools you can use in the next cupboard, the next room and the next season of your life.

I’m not interested in creating a system you can only maintain with me standing beside you.

I want you to know how to notice when something isn’t working, how to change it and how to find your way back when life inevitably gets messy again.

But if life changes and you want me beside you again for the next basement, new baby, move or giant pile of what-the-fuck-do-I-do-with-this now, I’m happy to come back.

I’VE SEEN WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SPACE OPENS UP.
