About
Tokimeki, the essence of Japanese tidying
Vivez-vous une vie remplie de joie ?
Ressentez-vous le tokimeki, the spark of joy, in your home and in your everyday?
If it's not the case, Japanese tidying might be the key to transforming your environment and your mind.
This approach isn't a simple organizing method: it'sa true way of life that leads you to creating harmonie profonde entre vous, vos objets et votre maison.
En choisissant de garder seulement ce qui vous apporte de la joie et de vous détacher de ce qui ne vous sert plus, vous libérez non seulement de l’espace physique, mais aussi de l’espace mental, créant ainsi un environnement propice à votre bien-être.
Beyond simple organizing, this method guides you towards une vie allégée et plus épanouie. En fin de compte, il ne s’agit pas seulement de « ranger » ; il s’agit d’adopter a new way of living, en apportant de la clarté dans votre maison et votre esprit.
What is the KonMari method?
The Marie Kondo or KonMari Method, codifies Japanese tidying, makes it easier to apply, and infuses it with a good dose of joy. It is designed to make the process as simple as possible and give lasting results.
Marie Kondo is a Japanese tidying expert who became world-famous with her book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up (2011). Her books have been translated into 40 languages and sold more than 10 million copies. She is the star of the successful Netflix series, Tidying Up with Marie Kondo. Her name in Japanese is Kondo Marie (近藤麻理恵) or "KonMari" for short.
As a consultant certified in this method, I guide you step by step to apply this approach to tidy your home.
About Me
斉藤百合
Yuri Saito
I am not naturally organized.
While I've always loved the idea of being so and tried different tidying methods, I couldn't maintain a tidy space. I often felt overwhelmed, even a bit uneasy in my own home.
The more I learned about tidying, the more lost I felt. I didn't identify with austere minimalism and strict rules like "one in, one out" felt too directive. There's too much information, too many restrictions, too many miracle solutions.
The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo opened my eyes: 1) it's normal to not know how to tidy and 2) you can learn. What a huge relief! With this very simple method, I discovered what works for me: tidying guided by joy.
Pretty quickly, talking about and encouraging my entourage to tidy became no longer enough. I wanted to accompany people step by step, hand in hand, to apply the KonMari Method and Japanese tidying.
This is why I certified as an official consultant in 2020 and created atelier tokimeki. I'm excited to teach you to feel the famous spark of joy, or tokimeki.
