Consultation — A free 30 minutes by phone or video. We get to know each other, talk about your home, and you can ask me anything.
Walk-through — One hour, in person or by video ($200). We go deeper into your space and what you want for your home. Before our first full session, your homework is a vision statement — a picture of the home and life you want.
Sessions — Three hours with a short break. In person anywhere in the greater Seattle area, or by video.

The KonMari Method® follows a specific sequence that makes the whole process feel a lot more manageable.
Vision first. Before we touch a single item, you'll create a vision statement — a picture of the home and life you want. It becomes our compass for everything that follows.
Finish discarding before you organize. This is what makes the results last.
Work by category, not by room. It changes everything about how clearly you can see what you have.
Follow the right order. Clothes, Books, Papers, Komono — everything else, Sentimental items. This order is designed to help you hone your ability to distinguish what sparks joy.
The joy check. You hold each item and ask whether it sparks joy. The KonMari Method® is about choosing what to keep, not what to get rid of.
I start every category with you. I coach you through the approach, help you find your footing with the joy check, and I'm there when the decisions get hard. How much you do between sessions is up to you.

The initial consultation is free, the walk-through is $200. Sessions are $600 for three hours ($200/hour), and most clients book them as they go.
How long the whole thing takes — and what it costs in total — depends on the size of your home, how much you have, and how much you do between sessions. After the walk-through I can give you a realistic estimate. For a complete home, six months to a year is common — most people are surprised by how long a full transformation takes.

Video sessions are available nationwide except California. In-person sessions are in the greater Seattle area.

I don't, and that's intentional. What I do is give you the resources and guidance to donate, sell, or recycle things yourself — whether that's a local drop-off, a specialty recycler, or something you hadn't thought of.
Your sense of agency through this process matters to me. I want you to feel fully in charge every step of the way, including what leaves and where it goes.

Video is always an option instead of in-person.
For in-person sessions, the most important thing: if either of us isn't feeling well, we reschedule. I'll always let you know as early as I can, and I ask the same of you.
It helps to reschedule if, within five days before our session, you've been on a plane, at a large indoor gathering, or had a known exposure to COVID, flu, or a similar illness. I’ll do the same — if I've been traveling or had a known exposure, I'll reach out as soon as I can.
A few things that help on the day: running an air purifier in our work space if you have one, or opening windows when the weather cooperates. Wearing a mask is optional and welcome — I’ll always wear one.
Thank you for helping us both stay well.
