Did you DREAM of clearing out the clutter and creating a home you truly LOVE during Shelter in Place but life got in the way as all your time was taken dealing with more urgent things left and right? Maybe you started house projects or even KonMari’ing but then got stuck. This is often a combination of: we don’t know the method so we don’t know where to start, AND because with the craziness of life, we often end up at the bottom of our lists.
But there is a way to CLEAR what’s no longer serving you and make space for more JOY this year. Introducing The Joy Filter’s Reclaim Your Space: January Reset Private KonMari Coaching Program!

Sentimental
*Please note: You may not get through all categories during our time together. That’s OK! What you get done in the time period of working together depends on the size of your home, the amount of items you have, the pace at which you make decisions, and the amount of time you dedicate to tidying during the week. I will go at your pace and in the KonMari category order -- meaning that we won’t move on to the next category until you’ve finished the prior category. No matter what you get done, you will start to see and FEEL the benefits already. And you will be motivated to keep going!

"Working with Jenna was just the motivation that I needed. Through her expert guidance, I was able to complete all of the categories and truly fill my home with what sparked joy! Her ability to help me focus, prioritize, and stay on task was just what I needed. I feel like I have regained control of my life and everything in my home has its proper place. I highly recommend Jenna for those who might need a little extra inspiration and support in their KonMari process!"

“Like so many people during the Covid-19 quarantine, I felt that everything in my life was out of my control. I have two young children and was overwhelmed balancing their needs and schedules with my work responsibilities. I had no time of my own and felt easily overwhelmed. It often felt too overwhelming to even organize toys and laundry.
I was motivated to start KonMari because I needed the sense of control and accomplishment. I couldn’t control my time, but I could control my space. I was sold on KonMari after I finished clothing -- What a dramatic change it made on my closet! I had thought I needed more closet space, but after tidying, I ended up with a lot more free space than I expected. It felt calm and organized -- It was such a tranquil, tidy place that I even retreated to my closet a few times for some peace and quiet. After I completed my clothes, I was so excited to see results in the next category, I continued to stay up late to tidy. Once I completed a category, I wondered why I hadn’t done it sooner.
Working with Jenna on KonMari finally gave me permission to get rid of things that I was lukewarm about or holding on to use “one day, ” which felt so liberating. Paring down allowed me to give more attention to the things I chose. Those things now have more value to me.
Before the pandemic, we were going to hire a family helper to tidy up kids’ after school and dinner messes. Now that I am 90% done with the KonMari process, I feel that our messes, toys and items are manageable where I don’t even need the extra help. The KonMari approach is a state of mind that I can apply to anything. I’ve reached a tranquility, and a new sense of confidence in managing all of our things.
Jenna is patient, nonjudgmental, encouraging and positive. As a busy mom, this format was great for me -- short check in-calls where Jenna answered my questions and gave me a clear, manageable homework assignment combined with the ability to message her when I had a question on something, helped tremendously to keep going and not get stuck on any particular category.
Now that everything has a home, I was surprised to see how motivated I am to put it back in its place. It is SO MUCH easier to clean up in the house, put away laundry and toys. I'm so proud of the work I’ve done with
Jenna's clear guidance and only wish I had started this process a long time ago!"

“I had been struggling for a long time with organization before I met Jenna. Raising 3 kids and being very sentimental - I had accumulated a lot over 2 decades and was feeling overwhelmed.
My business really began taking off and I found myself more in need of creating a thoroughly organized office space. When I first met Jenna, I was immediately attracted to her cheerful personality and trusted she knew what she was doing! I jumped with my intuition that she could help me - knowing nothing about KonMari or if it was a method I would resonate with.
Her expertise coupled with her sensible, practical approach have limited my overwhelm and kept me on track in KonMari’ing my office. The experience itself has been joyful and I have completely transformed my office! I love her group zoom organizing sessions and Facebook community as well. The energy is uplifting and people are very supportive.
I can honestly say the experience has far exceeded my expectations and has been truly life changing. I look forward to continuing to work with Jenna to transform my whole house!! Thank you Jenna!!”

"I decided to work with Jenna because I was looking for support cultivating joy in my life. I spent several weeks interviewing life coaches, but I realized working with a KonMari Consultant was what I really needed. After months of working at home during shelter-in-place, I knew my environment influenced what I thought and how I felt from the moment I got up and went to bed. I was curious how sparking joy around me might influence other areas of my life I want to improve like my career and my relationships.
During the program, I became more attuned to what sparked joy and what I was ready to let go. I felt less regret or stuckness. I noticed how holding on to things, but not taking action on them or giving them a purpose, actually held me back from a life of possibility.
I enjoyed the personal connection with Jenna, which made working together relatable and authentic. Jenna was patient and genuinely listened and understood my experience. She would repeat back to me what I expressed as important and motivating.
Cleaning out my closet was transformative. I gifted a custom leather jacket to my cousin who is an artist, gave my younger brother dress shirts for his next interview, donated socks to residents at a shelter so they could stay warm for the winter. Before I held on to clothes that did not fit me well, but I felt so much better giving something away. I noticed that having less in my closet made getting ready in the morning easier. It just made the rest of my day all the more enjoyable because I felt good wearing clothes I really liked.
I now have momentum and energy to fill what sucked up space and energy with something new. Ultimately, the spark I started to feel through Konmari lead me to apply and interview for several jobs. Choosing to take a new role felt easy because I am more accustomed and comfortable listening to what bring me joy. I was offered and accepted a job at the Treasurer's Office of San Francisco. On my first day, I felt genuinely excited and grateful to be working with everyone at the Office of Financial Empowerment to lead the Kindergarten to College program.
Whenever I face big life decisions now, I think back to some of the exercises Jenna guided me through. I might even put on the shark hat I wore during one of sessions, which was a guiding star for me of how joyful I could feel, when I first started. I am not the only one who has noticed the difference. Friends, too, have commented on how they see the spark again in me."
