Q: What is the KonMari Method®?

The KonMari Method®, created by Japanese tidying expert Marie Kondo, is a thoughtful, practical approach to organizing your home — by category, not by room. The goal is simple: keep what truly matters to you and let go of the rest.

I don’t tidy for you — I tidy with you. Together, we move through your belongings step by step, and I guide you through the decisions, mindset shifts, and routines that help you maintain a calm, organized home for life.

I follow the KonMari Method® exclusively because it’s a mindful, proven process for lasting change. We start with clothing because it’s the most approachable way to learn what truly sparks joy — and that clarity flows into every part of your home and life.

The method is divided into five categories:

1. Clothing — all clothes, shoes, and accessories

2. Books — any reading materials

3. Papers — documents, bills, and notes

4. Komono (Miscellaneous) — kitchen items, gadgets, bathroom items, toys, and more

5. Sentimental Items — keepsakes and personal treasures

With support and practice, decluttering becomes less overwhelming and more empowering. You’ll finish not only with a tidy space, but with the clarity, skills, and confidence to keep it that way.

Q: How long will this take?

Every home and person is different — there’s no one-size-fits-all answer!

Some clients like to continue tidying on their own after we start a category together — for example, we might do tops, bottoms, and pajamas during our clothing session, and you’d finish undergarments and outerwear items on your own.

Others prefer to book extra sessions to complete the category together. Both ways work! Everyone’s pace is different — my goal is to help you build lasting systems and confidence, not to rush the process.

Clients usually book sessions weekly or every two weeks for steady progress. The consistency makes it easier to stay focused and see real transformation unfold.

If you’re on leave, between jobs, or have some vacation time and want to move faster, we can set up a more intensive schedule. We can work multiple days in a row or mix in-person and Zoom sessions—just let me know your availability and we’ll plan a focused stretch.

Q: Will you make me throw things away?

Never! Every decision is yours. I’ll guide you through the process, ask questions, and help you notice what sparks joy, but you’ll always have the final say on what stays or goes.

Q: How far do you travel for sessions? Can we meet on Zoom?

For in-person sessions, I prioritize homes within the 17th and 8th arrondissements in Paris. Areas outside this zone will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Keeping my work local helps me stay fully present and grounded with clients, while also maintaining a balanced rhythm for my family. Feel free to contact me for more information.

I happily work with clients worldwide through DIY virtual sessions via Zoom.

Q: What payment methods do you accept?

I accept payments via French bank transfer or secure online payment through Stripe.

Payment is due before your session. Reschedules or refunds must be requested at least 48 hours in advance.

Additional payment options will be added soon.

Q: What happens if we don’t finish a category? Or finish early?

Every home and pace are different, and that’s completely normal. Some categories take more than one session, and that’s okay — we’ll continue at the next one or you can work on it between sessions with my guidance.

If we finish early (for example, we complete clothing), we’ll move straight into the next category so you keep your flow and motivation going.

If you’d like to keep working beyond your package, additional 3-hour sessions can be added at the same package rate of 290€
