Taking care of your things leads to taking good care of yourself
Meet Emily
As a mom of two children, pet-parent, and business owner, I understand how clutter can affect our physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Over the past 5 years I have worked remotely, taken maternity leaves, and moved across the country from BC to ON. That has meant ALOT of time spent in our home and dealing with our possessions. It has also brought feelings of overwhelm, irritability, and impatience. The feeling like I was always tidying, without ever having a tidy home, and wishing I could spend more time doing what I enjoyed – making memories with my loved ones, being active, and exploring the outdoors.
After decluttering and organizing our home using the KonMari Method®, I felt the profound impacts and life changing magic of tidying up, and founded Joyful Homes in 2023 to help others experience the same. I combine my training as a Professional Organizer, with my background in Physical and Health Education, to provide clients with empathy, encouragement, and expertise throughout the process in a way that is thoughtful and efficient. No matter what walk of life you are in, my goal is to guide you from a state of chaos and overwhelm, to clarity and joy, so that you can free up space, time, and energy for what you love.
The JOYFUL Method™
Emily blends her training in the KonMari Method®, which was popularized by Japanese tidying guru Marie Kondo, with her practical experience and an ability to customize the decluttering and organizing approach for each client’s unique home and lifestyle. The result is her JOYFUL Method™, which includes:
- Joyful Vision – helping you envision how you want your home or space to feel once it’s organized
- Open to Change – encouraging you to be open to change and thinking differently about your space
- Your Decisions – allowing you to be in full control of the decisions you make, and providing expert guidance in this process
- Functional Storage – finding storage solutions that function well and look great for your home and lifestyle
- Upkeep with Systems – applying systems and teaching skills that help you maintain an organized home in the long-term
- Live Joyfully – in the end, you will be surrounded by the items that you love, need, and use; know where everything belongs; and have a home that is full of JOY!
Emily is also a member of the Professional Organizers in Canada, a national association that represents professional organizers across the country.

Emily has the skills, compassion, energy, and passion to help
After many years of being unsuccessful at motivating myself to purge my home of the accumulated treasures of raising 4 kids I googled “home organizing collingwood ” and good fortune guided me to Emily! Emily has the skills, compassion, energy and passion to help you reach your personal goals in creating the home atmosphere you’re looking for! I decided I did not want to be one of those people who purged and organized their home only when it was time to sell! I’m now at peace in my own home and no longer burdened with feeling the pressure to get rid of the abundance of accumulated items. I’d encourage anyone to schedule her free consult and get on your way to experience the peace and joy your home should offer while you’re living in it! It honestly was better than a vacation or therapy!
