Frequently asked questions

This depends on you and how much time and effort you are willing to put in.

The program is called Total Tidy Traction because it will help you gain momentum so you can do a lot of the decluttering work during the six months and then keep your momentum afterward.

I can’t promise you that you will be done because you are in control of that. But I will help you structure your short and long-term goals so you can get an idea of how long it can take for your situation.

Usually, clients with a 1-bedroom apartment take between 3 and 6 months to declutter and organize their homes.

No, I won’t come to your home. The Total Tidy Traction program is 100% virtual, and we will meet on Zoom.

I have been doing this professionally since 2017, and I observed that the clients with the best results are the ones who commit fully and don't just dip their toe in the water.

They know this is not a one-time event but a process over several weeks and months.

If you want to declutter your whole home and all five KonMari categories, then the first step is committing yourself to the journey it will take. This means it will take time, energy, and money. If you say "Yes," you probably have to say "No" to other things for a little while so you can focus on your KonMari Tidying Festival.

No problem at all!

As part of the Total Tidy Traction program, you can work on the categories of your choices.

I recommend you follow the KonMari order because it usually makes it easier for you. If you want to declutter your clothes, your kitchen, and sentimental items, I recommend starting with your clothes because that’s the easiest in most cases and keeping sentimental items for the end, as it’s the hardest.

If you need help with a much smaller challenge, you can also book a 1-hour Strategy Session with me.

To give you an orientation: A Tidying Festival of a single person’s 1-bedroom apartment costs in-between $7,000 and $10,000, and we work for a time frame of 3-6 months, and meet every 1-2 weeks for approx. 5 hours.

For the Total Tidy Traction program it is my goal to start at $5,000 to keep it much lower than my in-home rates.

In the end the price will depend on your unique situation and how much 1:1 help you need.

If someone needs less 1:1 support it can be more affordable, and if someone needs more support and it can get more expensive.

Until I open the application process and here every person’s story and what their needs are, I cannot yet tell for sure. But it feels like a safe bet to say $5,000. I hope that gives you some orientation.

Think about the KonMari tidying journey as therapy for your home. If you've ever gone to therapy, you know it takes more than one session to notice a change in your life. It usually takes months and even years until you see more significant results. I know this from my own experience.

With the KonMari Method®, you will see results already after the first session. Of course, it's also a process that takes weeks and even months (depending on your speed), but you see the before and after immediately. The process is life-changing!

As I don't declutter and tidy FOR you, but WITH you, your home will change, but you will change even more (above all, your spending habits). For our 1:1 calls, you'll get my 100% attention. In the group calls, each program participant can share their challenges, and it will be a safe space to learn together, and I will coach each one of you. That's time for you and your specific situation; you'll get practical solutions. All this will lighten your burden and make navigating and maintaining your home more attainable.

Ask yourself, "What will it cost me if I don't declutter and organize my life?"
Time, energy, quality of life, money, the ability to relax - you name it!

A 45-minute therapy session in New York City is usually around $200. If you go once weekly, you pay $10,400 for 52 sessions of 45 minutes each for a year. And usually, you go to therapy for several years (at least I did).

If you declutter and organize your home with me, we will also meet consistently. Plus, you will have not only my support but also a group of kindred spirits who go through a similar process. It’s two-in-one: one-on-one coaching with me and group coaching in one program.

We will work for 6 months, but you can extend if you need more time.

Most of my 1:1 clients who live in a 1-bedroom apartment have spent between $7,000 and $10,000 for their KonMari Tidying Festival.

As Total Tidy Traction is a fully virtual hybrid program, I can offer participants a much lower price than that. Just because I can teach more people simultaneously, each one will also get 1:1 attention.

My clients say they feel less stressed, have more clarity, and feel lighter and happier. Imagine what this newly gained space in your outer and inner life will do for your mental health.

If this resonates with you, join the waitlist.

As every person who joins goes through an application process and has time to ask all their questions before, the sales are final, and it’s not refundable.

However, it’s in my highest interest to support each participant in the best and kindest way I can. The program is not set in stone. If something is missing, I will add it.

Yes, I am the facilitator, but we will also co-create together. As every person has unique challenges, we can talk about them before and also during the program so it can be the best experience for each participant.

- I have decluttered, organized, and designed spaces for over 15 years.

- I worked with women, men, couples, and children from ages 3-85.

Since 2015, I have practiced the KonMari Method® and have over 1,500 hours of work experience in this method (I've been a Master Level KonMari Consultant since June 2024).

- I know how to live in a suburban environment with more space in the US, Germany, and Portugal, but I also lived in a tiny studio apartment in Manhattan with only 300 square feet (30 square meters). Which means I can adapt to your needs.

- I offer a safe environment for LGBTQIA and BIPOC people. A bit of context, I grew up with a gay dad, worked as an inclusive pastor and wedding officiant, worked and lived in several Native American and Native South American communities. Plus, I'm an immigrant - in short: I love diversity!

- As a former pastor, I counseled and guided many people. Spirituality is essential to me. So, whatever your spiritual or religious practice is, I'm going to respect it and never impose my beliefs on you! Your tidying journey is YOUR journey, and I'm happy to make it as easy and smooth as possible for you.

- I'm a very empathetic and highly sensitive person (HSP), which gives me the strength to tune towards your needs. At the same time, I'm efficient and practical, bringing you results in a short period of time.

- My biggest assets are my humor and optimistic view of life. I had a very tough childhood and youth, and my faith and spirit helped me survive. So be aware: You will get some laughs out of us working together.

- Traveling is part of my ideal lifestyle. I've been to over 20 different countries and hope to see more in the future. Due to my love for travel and living abroad, I live a minimalist lifestyle. I'm aware that most of my clients don't want to become minimalists, and that's totally fine for me - please have no fear that I push you in any direction! It's about your ideal lifestyle, not mine!

- I speak four languages and worked/ lived in four countries, which helps me adapt to different people, cultures, and circumstances.

- I worked with clients on three continents - in-person and virtually. So far, USA, Europe, and Australia.

- And if all of this doesn't convince you to hop on a discovery call, then I have to admit that I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, am crazy about regency novels (Bridgerton & Co. is my jam), and love dancing to Beyoncé, Bruno Mars, and Earth, Wind & Fire. (and many more)

- And obviously, I'm organized. LOL
