Experience the joy of keeping what you love, and freedom of letting the rest go

Decluttering and Organizing Services

Below are 4 different Joyful Service options. In each service we will help you determine what items you love, need, and use so that you can easily say farewell to the rest. Every item you keep will have a designated home with storage solutions and long-term systems to make your space beautiful and functional.

  • Done-with-you sessions: We are working together the entire time – sorting items into categories, making decisions, cleaning surfaces, organizing and storing items you keep, and packing up items that are going to be donated or sold.
  • Done-for-you sessions: You are involved in how you want your space to look and function, and decision making on items – the rest is organized for you. This is great if you are in the house but have other things to focus on (e.g. work or caring for a child), or you are a busy professional with little time to spare.

Emily was amazing to work with!

Emily from Joyful Homes was amazing to work with! We tackled my basement one day and our main floor another, and the transformation was incredible. She’s professional yet so fun to spend the day with, which made the process enjoyable instead of overwhelming. I highly recommend her if you’re looking to bring more order and joy into your home!

FAQ

What do you bring with you, and what do you take away?2025-09-05T02:37:17+00:00

In addition to a non-judgmental, efficient, and fun attitude, I bring my Joyful Organizing Kit, which includes:

  • Labels and label maker
  • Any agreed-upon storage products
  • Bags for donations
  • Basic cleaning supplies
  • Basic tools for quick repairs of items
  • Dog & cat treats for your fur babies
  • A mini speaker if you enjoy listening to music as you work

After each session I take away one car load of donations. Dump removal can be provided at an additional cost.

Is this service really worth the cost?2025-09-05T02:38:59+00:00

If you are motivated and ready to make a change, then my answer is ABSOLUTELY. Investing in professional organizing isn’t just about creating a tidy space — it’s about transforming how you live in, and interact with, your home as well as others in it. You’re not just paying for hours; you’re investing in peace of mind, time saved, efficient routines, and a home that supports the life you want. The impact ripples out into your energy, your relationships, your parenting, and your health.

I want to do this, but my partner doesn’t get it (or doesn’t want to spend the money). What should I say?2025-07-14T17:41:31+00:00

This is very common. One way to approach the conversation is by sharing how the current state of your home is affecting your well-being — mentally, emotionally, and physically. This isn’t about buying bins or labeling drawers — it’s about reducing stress and decision fatigue so you can show up as your best self. It’s about having a plan in place for where to start, and end, your organizing journey, and accountability along the way to make sure you reach your goal. Many clients find that once their partner experiences the transformation in both the space and your mood, they become the biggest supporters. They may even be inspired to help tidy along the way.

My family thinks this is something I should be able to do myself — isn’t hiring help lazy or indulgent?2025-07-14T17:41:57+00:00

Not at all. In fact, it’s incredibly proactive and resourceful. You’re hiring a professionally trained and insured organizer with expertise to help you set up long-term storage solutions and systems that work for your unique lifestyle. We aren’t meant to do it all, and should consider outsourcing tasks if/when time and resources allow it. Decluttering and organizing (i.e. how to make decisions and properly store our items) is a learned skill that most of us were never taught — especially in the middle of raising kids, managing careers, and running a home. This isn’t about indulgence — it’s about freeing up the space, time, and energy for what and who you truly love.

I’m embarrassed about how messy or disorganized my space is. Will I be judged?2025-09-05T02:41:33+00:00

NO WAY! There is absolutely no judgment in my approach to organizing. I’ve worked with many women and high-achieving professionals who felt overwhelmed, behind, or ashamed of their space. My job is to support you with compassion, not to criticize. Together we work effectively and efficiently to help you overcome these feelings. We start exactly where you are — and we move forward together. This is a safe space for real life, not Pinterest perfection. Did I mention I started Joyful Homes after going through my own journey of clutter and chaos? I know exactly where you are at in this process, and how to lead you across the finish line.

I’m scared you’re going to make me throw out everything! What if I can’t let go?2025-09-05T02:43:41+00:00

Every decision is your own. I am here to support and guide the decision making process, but I will never make a decision for you. If you’re stuck on an item, we’ll work through questions like when did you last use it? or does it still serve a positive purpose in your life? Instead of following a minimalist philosophy, I believe that you should be surrounded by the items that you love, need, use, and that fit inside your home. We focus on understanding and respecting the boundaries that your homes provides you, as well as the quality over quantity of items.

What if I can’t keep it organized after we’re done?2025-07-14T17:41:20+00:00

That’s exactly why I focus on creating custom storage solutions and systems tailored to your habits and lifestyle. I don’t just tidy — I teach you how to maintain it. You’ll leave with tools, tips, and support that make staying organized easier than you think. And yes — kids, pets, and busy schedules are all part of the plan. Follow-up calls and maintenance sessions are also available once we’ve organized together, because life happens!

I want to do this but I’m unsure if the timing is right. What are the next steps?2025-09-05T02:49:01+00:00

The truth is, the timing may never be perfect. We all have conflicting priorities and alot on the go. The reality is that the sooner you get your home organized, the more time you will save in the future. Getting ready and out the door in the morning will be easier when you know where everything is. Making meals will be smoother when you know what’s in your pantry and what you need to buy. Going on holidays and weekend getaways will be a breeze when you can easily pack and unpack. Your next step is to complete the Contact Form to book a complimentary call and discuss how we can transform your home.

Ok I’m sold, but what are your credentials?2025-09-05T02:54:24+00:00
