Class Experience

Learners will be given tools that they can use to organize their spaces at home, bedrooms and e-learning spaces. We will cover the basics of the KonMari Method™, including the six rules of tidying up, as well other organizing tips that they can practice right away in their spaces. This class will combine the "why" and "how" of keeping spaces tidy. If you've ever asked your child to clean their room only to have it return to a messy state days later, this class might be for your learner. Topics covered include:
-Why setting an intention for their space is important and how to do it
-How to determine which items to keep and which items to let go of
-How to use categories to tidy
-How to fold vertically 
-Why storage is last and some creative storage ideas 
-Tips for ongoing maintenance of a tidy space
There is no required experience or knowledge needed. Any learner who has an interest in making their spaces at home more organized and joyful will gain some tools to do so. Class will be delivered through slides, short video clips and discussion.

Teacher expertise and credentials

Hi there! I help families create more peaceful spaces in their homes so that they can bring more joy and connection into their lives. 
I am a certified KonMari consultant and a member of the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals (NAPO)—holding certificates in household management, residential organizing and life transitions. Prior to organizing, my career focused on international education, specifically advising international students in the U.S. and administering exchange programs, and I have experience as a tutor/mentor to teens. I enjoy supporting people when they are making brave choices in their lives, whether that's studying in another country or tackling clutter that feels overwhelming.
Tidying up with kids can help them to develop lifelong skills and give them a sense of control over their lives, especially at a time right now when there is so much outside of our control. I believe that kids want to be involved in taking responsibility for their belongings and their space at home, and I help them learn steps to do this. It's a little different from the usual "go clean your room" routine where belongings might get stuffed or tucked away to make a room "look" clean for a short time. We start by discussing their ideal space, what they are doing in their spaces right now and how they want their spaces to feel. The categories in the KonMari Method™ are the framework that we use to tidy up spaces in a particular order (clothes-books-paper-miscellaneous-sentimental). 
I am a mom to a 4 year boy and have started early teaching him about tidying up. It's not always perfect in our home, though we can get it back to a peaceful place quickly using the skills I've learned. We have a Boston Terrier dog, and we enjoy walks in nature and listening to silly songs at loud volumes.
