I am here for you
Hi, I’m Joanne
Organized mom to two beautiful girls, a nervous dog and wife to a supportive husband. I was a professional in the healthcare technology industry for 30 years before starting my own business. Through those years I’ve gained a lifetime of experience getting and staying organized for myself and my family. Or so I thought…
I would pride myself on my ability to spring clean or re-organize a closet or create a new planner to keep track of activities, only to have it all collapse over time. We called it “laundry basket clean-up”. Take a laundry basket and throw anything into it that doesn't belong on the counters, tables or floor. Then we’d have a race to see who could put everything away the fastest.
It wasn’t until I personally experienced "the life-changing magic of tidying up" by Marie Kondo that I realized why my systems were not sustainable. As much as I de-cluttered, stuff would come back. All because I was not focused on what sparks joy. What in my life truly brings joy and should have a contained place in my home to live. To be used lovingly, then put away until next time. To be worn with care, making me feel confident, then uniquely folded and put away. To be found every time, when I need it and put away so it may be found again.
The “magic” was in what came after. My relationship with ‘stuff’ was completely different. It was just that. Did it have a place in my home? then out it goes. This started to spill over into my job (hello career change), my relationships and most importantly, my ability to cope with the fact that I have an amazing child with complicated needs that needed my fullest attention and intuition to help her thrive.
I am so thrilled to be able to bring these services to families like mine. Becoming sustainably organized removes an inordinate amount of stress from our lives allowing us to breath deeply, enjoy each other immensely and be INSPIRED to create, relax, believe, challenge and grow.
