Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)



Of course you can do this yourself! Marie Kondo’s book “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up” is easily available and there is no magic involved (pun intended).

However, there are several good reasons why you may consider hiring a Konmari Consultant.

Maybe you have read the book and just cannot get started with the actual tidying. A consultant has the experience and expertise to guide you through the process, making it less daunting.

Or, maybe you have started the tidying journey but somehow got stuck along the way. You procrastinated... or are unsure on how to continue. A consultant can help identify your challenges and help you get back on track.

Or, perhaps you have completed the tidying journey but something is something seems incomplete or off. You cannot seem to be able to put on your finger on it. A consultant will be able to evaluate your obstacles and impart knowledge and skills to help you complete the tidying journey.

Whatever your reasons, hiring a consultant will ensure a smooth and productive experience that will lead to a tidy home once and for all.

Virtual sessions are a great option if there are time and distance constraints which makes having in-person sessions not possible. We will meet on video calls once every week.

The flow of the tidying sessions will be similar to an in-person session. We will discuss about ideal lifestyle, goals, problem areas.

You will show me around the house to let me have an idea of the current state of the house. With my coaching and support, you will learn to decide which items to keep and which to discard. After that is done, we will work together on where and how to store the items.

I have had very fruitful virtual tidying sessions and am confident that it can be as successful as in-person sessions.
