Heywood Park Collective was created to share methods, insights, techniques, guidance and elbow grease with others faced with a life filled to capacity - and too much stuff!

“ “Tidying ought to be the act of restoring balance between people, their possessions and the house they live in”.
Marie Kondo”

"Growing up in a military family, I know what it means to relocate often. As careers brought more moving in adult life with children, the stress that life's "stuff" can create caused me to pause and find a better way. Building my business as a professional organizer, I draw upon life experiences including success as an entrepreneur, a human resources professional, and my college education in Social Work.

My approach is facilitative, transparent, genuine and joyful. I love my work and enjoy guiding others through the steps to choosing joy leading to a life sparking more joy!

Attaining Platinum Level Certification as an official KonMari Method (TM) consultant has given me the tools and experience to help others process the "letting go." The deeper understanding of the joy a clutter free life can bring comes with patience and intention. Grateful for the opportunity to help others!"

The KonMari Method

Sparking Joy and Tidying Up

The organize the world movement has begun.

“Keep only those things that speak to your heart. Then take the plunge and discard all the rest.”

— Marie Kondo

Based on the groundbreaking bestseller "The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up" by Marie Kondo, the KonMari® method of organizing has blossomed into a worldwide festival to clear our clutter. Living simpler lives, with fewer belongings, choosing what we wear, read, eat from, relax with and store for posterity is trending! Organizing or "tidying", based on an individual perspective of what brings us each joy, is the founding principle of this method.

The message is resonating on a deep level. Here's why. It is personal, not prescriptive. Our hearts tell us what to keep. There are traditional home organizers who approach a space by focusing on storage (designing, purchasing, adding) or set decision grids assigning numbers or analytical tools at the outset. Where this can succeed for a time, KonMari® organizing follows a process of organizing by category (not by location or where the item is used) at the start. It has exponential possibilities once you master one category in your space, the benefits compound as you perfect your individual "joycheck". That is the life changing aspect. The "magic" comes in when this paradigm impacts how you purchase, continue to declutter, and feel lighter and more intentional - allowing you to enjoy spending time doing the things you love with the people you love.
