Hi, I’m Jenn - and I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed by the chaos.

For years, I thought there was something wrong with me. I’d try to ‘get it together’—you know, buying all the bins and organizers, pinning the Pinterest-perfect spaces—and it never stuck. The shame, the guilt, the constant overwhelm? I get it, because I’ve been there too.

Here’s what I’ve learned: Organization isn’t about perfection. It’s about creating systems that fit your life, your habits, and the way your brain works. As a Professional Organizer and Coach, I’m here to guide you toward peaceful living—no shame, no judgment, just practical support and a little encouragement.

I didn’t start out organized (And that’s exactly why I can help)

For years, I believed I was the problem—why couldn’t I get my shit together? No matter how many Pinterest boards I pinned, or containers I bought, the systems never seemed to stick. The shame? Real. The frustration? Even more real.

Then, at 35, I was diagnosed with ADHD, and everything clicked. It wasn’t me—it was the systems. I learned that organization isn’t about perfection or aesthetics. It’s about creating simple, functional systems tailored to your life, your habits, and your brain. I’ve been where you are, and I know the weight of overwhelm.

Now, with 11+ years as a professional organizer and coach, I help women break through the chaos to find their pathway to peace.

Organization that Works With Your Life (Not Against It)

I didn’t become a professional organizer because I was naturally tidy—I became one because I wasn’t. For most of my life, I felt like I was always trying to catch up, surrounded by clutter and overwhelmed by the constant demands of work, family, and life. Every time I tried to get organized, I’d fall into the same trap: chasing perfection, only to end up feeling like a failure when I couldn’t maintain it.

Then, something shifted. I realized that organizing isn’t about making your home look picture-perfect—it’s about making it work for you. That means setting aside shame, embracing imperfection, and designing systems that actually fit your lifestyle. It’s about giving yourself permission to be human.

When I was diagnosed with ADHD, it all started to make sense. I saw how my brain craved flexibility, how traditional ‘rules’ didn’t work for me, and how much guilt I’d carried for years because of it. That’s when I decided to stop fighting the way my brain worked and started designing systems around it instead.

Now, I bring that same approach to my work with clients. I’m not here to judge your space or shame your habits—I’m here to listen, to understand, and to help you create a home and life that feels peaceful, functional, and true to you.

Whether we’re tackling a cluttered garage, organizing a busy family kitchen, or designing ADHD-friendly solutions, my goal is always the same: to help you feel empowered and capable, not overwhelmed. Because at the end of the day, your home should be a place that supports you—not one that adds stress to your life.
