From Clutter to Clarity – Making space for what matters most

$55

with Marlena Handfield

Calendar Next available session starts Oct 28, 2026 at 6 pm, runs for 3 weeks

Course Description: An introduction to the principles of the KonMari Method of Organizing - Begin your journey toward living more intentionally, with less stress, and more joy.

 

What is the goal of the course? Decluttering and organizing can be challenging for many people. Life is busy and this task can seem overwhelming and really hard. I coach people, using the KonMari Method of Organizing, to help them get started, learn the joy-checking process, and achieve a mindset shift that changes how they feel in their home and about their belongings. This shift often carries over into other areas of life, such as relationships, buying/spending habits, less stress and clarity on what is really important. To help people who are interested in clearing their homes of clutter and learning what really matters and what deserves space in their homes, and lives.
