In 2017, a friend introduced me to the book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing. I had been living in Downtown Brooklyn for almost 10 years at that point, with a career as a professional dancer, choreographer, immersive theater artist, teacher, rehearsal director, (see more about that here), after-school art teacher, micro B&B host and gardener. Needless to say, I had accumulated some clutter. I did a complete overhaul on my place, went through every item that I owned, purged and then decided to take an improv comedy class at the Upright Citizens Brigade. Now, somehow, I failed that class. I guess improv was not the magic that I was after...
What I did discover is that I really like cleaning, organizing and letting go of stuff. I also love helping people sweep the clutter aside to uncover the full potential of their space and their life. So, I started with one client and began developing my own method of minimizing. Listening, observing, and positive affirmations are all an integral part of what I practice with my clients, as well as continued research and mindfullness. With each new project, I find myself more fully realizing my own potential as a minimizing maven. I currently reside on the top floor of a beautiful sun-drenched brownstone in Bed-stuy, Brooklyn.
