My Story

As a mom of two little kiddos, pet-parent and business owner, I understand how clutter can affect our physical, mental and emotional well-being. Over the past 5 years I have gone from working remotely, to taking 2 maternity leaves, to working remotely – and moved across the country in that time. 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 on what I wanted to do – making memories with my loved ones, being active and exploring the great outdoors.

After decluttering and organizing our home using the KonMari Method®, I felt the profound impacts and life changing magic of tidying up, and want 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 decluttering and organizing 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 too can free up space, time and energy for what you love.

Emily - Joyful Homes - Decluttering

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 she applies in each client session and transformation. This includes:

  • Joyful Vision – helping you envision how you want your home or space to feel once it’s organized, and using this to guide our decisions
  • 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
  • Function First – finding storage solutions that function well for your home and lifestyle
  • Upkeep of Space – 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.
