Extreme Clutter

Japanese organizing consultant Marie Kondo has millions of fans, but here's why she doesn't spark joy in me.

Janice is kind, patient, sympathetic and funny. Her insights and intuition got to the bottom of my problems so fast! I always told her she was the best therapist I ever had because she fixed me in less time and for a whole lot less money.

God, what a relief! She makes it so easy. Just call Janice and be done with it.

My house was one big giant mess. I was getting to the point where I was afraid I'd end up on that Hoarders show.

Every room was bad. I never let my kids have friends over and I never let anyone in the house. I almost died of embarrassment when I finally had to let a plumber in. I felt terrible about raising my kids in the mess and my husband just couldn't understand why I couldn't clean up the place and we had fights.

Thank god I reached the point where I called Janice. I thought she'd make me throw stuff away and do things her way but it's not like that at all. Everything was about me. Don't wait as long as me. You'll have a lot of fun and end up feeling really great each time you see her.

I'd had 2 organizers before and wasn't pleased. It took me awhile to call Janice and from the first conversation I knew she 'got it.'

Calling what Janice does decluttering and organizing isn't even coming close to what she does. She's like a healer. She heals the clutter and the feeling of being a failure. She's worth a million dollars.

We loved having Janice in our home. She has a delightful sense of humor and a wonderful way of being straight about what will make a difference for your home without insulting you. She had an uncanny ability to identify items that we were really done with but didn’t have the nerve to let them go.

We surrendered to her input and our home is now precisely arranged to support us from a safe and practical perspective, is deeply nurturing and energetically supportive. The placement and clearing lends toward easy maintenance and a feeling of ease at all times.

When our friends come to visit, the two comments we hear over and over are “this house is so perfect for you.” And, “I love the energy in this house!”

She offered ongoing support us as questions came up and has done that cheerfully and promptly. We learned a tremendous amount that we can use over and over. Janice is intuitive, professional and a lot of fun. The fees were truly some of the best money we ever spent!
