What should I expect at my first in-person KonMari tidy session?
At your first session, we will do a home/office tour, take “before” photos, and establish your vision for the life you want post-tidying. This vision is your “why” and is what will guide you in joy-checking your entire home or office.How long will the KonMari tidy process take?
Because we will “joy-check” every single item you own, the number of sessions required will depend largely on how many items you own, the size of the home, and how quickly you make decisions. One tidying session is at minimum 4 hours.What does “spark joy” and “joy-check” mean?
Together we will help you identify the belongings that bring a smile to your face. Items that spark joy are displayed with honor and stored in a way that reflects its importance in your life. The items you choose to keep are things that will support your ideal lifestyle.Do I have to be present for the KonMari tidying session?
Your presence and involvement can vary and depend on your needs and goals discussed during the initial consultation. Only you can decide what sparks joy for you - and you have the final say in deciding what to keep and what to thank and let go of. If you have already gone through the decluttering process on your own and decided what to keep, I can organize your spaces without your presence.Will we also go through my family member/partner/roommate’s things?

Tidying is specific and personal to each person. During the KonMari process, we will only cover your personal belongings first. But, don’t worry — tidying is contagious!

None to start! During the tidying process, all storage is considered temporary until we’ve decluttered first.What happens to my discarded items?
