Beyond home organizing

Simplify your space, transform your life

Yuri Saito

The only Japanese consultant Marie Kondo in France

I am not naturally organized.

Even though I’ve always liked the idea of being organized and tried different approaches, I couldn't maintain a tidy space. I felt overwhelmed, even a bit uncomfortable in my own home.

Then, I discovered what worked for me: tidying up guided by joy, or the Marie Kondo method.

Inspired by my own experience, I became a certified official consultant in 2020 to guide others step by step, hand in hand, in decluttering their space to rediscover simplicity and serenity in everyday life.

Japanese tidying, much more than just home organizing

Japanese tidying goes far beyond creating a functional living space. The physical transformations are often impressive, but there is a much deeper, more personal evolution.

The goal of Japanese tidying or 片づけkatazuke to bring harmony and serenity to various aspects of your life. You learn to identify and appreciate what truly matters to you and to let go of everything that is superfluous, not just in terms of physical objects.

✨ Declutter with gratitude rather than guilt

✨ Clear space in your home and keep that way

✨ Experience the joy of less without becoming a minimalist

Japanese tidying transforms your space, but more fundamentally, it transforms you..

Frequently Asked Questions

I am convinced that this method can adapt to everyone according to their own definition of tokimeki, or the spark of happiness. The only condition is to be open to a transformation of both your space and your lifestyle.

Le rangement est comme toute autre compétence : vous irez plus loin et plus vite en embauchant un coach personnel plutôt qu’en lisant le mode d’emploi. La magie du rangement Marie Kondo's book is an excellent starting point for tackling tidying up, and I highly recommend it. However, for most people, it’s not enough. A consultant teaches you the methodology step by step, answers your on-site questions, motivates and reassures you, holds you accountable, and, most importantly, inspires you to succeed.

My services are tailored to your needs. That’s why the first step I propose is a free 30-minute call to understand your situation and discuss how I can help you achieve your tidying goals.

My goal is not to make you get rid of your belongings, but rather to carefully sort them so that each of your items brings you joy, or tokimeki. During a consultation, I explain the method, teach tidying techniques, ask guiding questions, provide advice and tips, and help you stay motivated.

The number of hours needed to tidy up depends on each person and the amount of "homework" they are willing to do on their own. My clients typically spend about 20 to 30 hours in sessions to tidy their entire home.
