“I read books and listened to podcast (Barbara Kingsman, Marie Kondo, the Fly Lady, etc.) They were some help, but not lasting. I hired professional organizers to come with me, but often they wanted to arrange my home to fit their ideals. I tried trading time with friends, but that fell off, too. Teenagers seem to be too busy. Depressed and frustrated, I dragged through, and kept on trying to declutter and organize my home. Then I found ClutterClarity, and my ears perked up when I heard “Clutter is not the problem, it’s the symptom.” I poked around her website, talked to my husband, and signed up for 24 weeks of her Decluttering Support Group! Thank goodness the universe guided me to Laura, and the fantastic community of women!!”

“I just have to tell you how much I enjoy our Group sessions, and how helpful they are to me. Best thing I’ve done for myself in years! I love your sense of humor that softens and lightens a strong & frank message about decluttering. Also a great group of women!”
— Anna Kirkpatrick, France
“I watch/listen to the videos more than once, as a gentle companion, while I “putter through my clutter” and get unstuck. I love Laura’s approach, which is at once so humorous, so compassionate, and so practical! I love Laura’s insights — they help me settle down about letting go. Her clarity combined with a lack of judgment is such a gift to any who get to encounter her work! Thank you so much, Laura - You’re stellar!”
— Janie Walsh, TX
“Very helpful as always! The repetition helps deepen my understanding, and integrate the new attitude and strategies while I’m decluttering at home. I love being with this wonderful group of wonderful women. Laura keeps the spirit warm and positive, as she teaches fundamentals.”
— 💕Jessie Cahill, MA
“I feel very fortunate to have found you just as I began planning this huge life change. Your wisdom is often echoing in my ear when I hit rough patches as I downsize two houses to one, and handle this big international move.”
— Donna Thompson, Canada
“I’m so glad to be work with you again (after 5 years) to help me through a difficult time. So glad I could watch the recording of last week’s session, since I couldn’t be there. It was excellent, and a really nice group of women. I’ve already learned several things that I’ve been able to put into practice!”
— Valerie Piland, NC
“Thank you for the great session! Your approach and thoughts are so rational and inspiring — and just what I needed to hear for me to come back to all the stuff with a far better understanding.”
— Jennie Russo, NJ
“Thank you for pointing out that control issues can occur with an estate settlement. I realized that I was the one having a control issue by not wanting to let the history go. No one else in the family is interested & I have now officially decluttered myself of the burden of self-appointed family historian! I’m so very grateful for your teaching and the Group’s support. I’m changing at my very core and, although it can be a bit emotionally tiring, it’s amazing! I still have a ways to go but I feel very comfortable letting go of clutter now. I’m especially grateful for how you helped me see that inherited items are now my items (not my mother’s) and their only value is the one I assign to them. This has been life-changing!!! ”
— With great admiration, Becca Moore
“I think our Zoom Group is great—I really appreciate hearing from other women, like Lynn sharing so openly about over-purchasing and then not finding things later. It’s a relief to see that other reasonable women have their own “clutter blind spots,” too. The group is so encouraging and supportive—we really cheer each other on, inspired “If she can do it, so can I!”
“Your program has made such a difference in my thinking, feeling, and doing! I’m now have more resolve to prioritize and give my attention to whatever I choose, including decluttering. I’m kinder to myself and protect my time without apology. All that you is so useful, but mostly I feel more confident, and better able to show up, and keep moving forward on my own accord — knowing you and group are there whenever I get stuck. More gratitude for you than words can express!”
— 🥰 Janet Levy, CO
“I’ve gleaned so much from Laura’s coaching over the past year. Not only is my clutter finally contained, but more importantly, my mind is healthier and calmer. I keep showing up to declutter and downsize because I’ve learned to take care of me first, stuff second! The ClutterClarity principles have truly changed my life.”
“I’m so much more equipped to handle the stuff of life—not just in my home. Even the garage doesn’t feel so daunting! Thank you for your wisdom, encouragement, and for showing me how to choose accountability without shame or overwhelm (at least most of the time 🤣). I’ve learned so much from you, The ClutterClarity Way, and the inspiring women in our Support Group.”
— Forever Grateful, Melanie Thompson, VA
“You always model and emphasize respectful language to self and others, and the importance of respecting the value of our limited time and energy! The ClutterClarity Say is really morphing into a lifestyle and mind set for me as I grow and progress!!”
— Sharon Grey, Iowa
“God has always intended us to do life together, with people, not be alone in the “mess and stress.” I feel so blessed that He sent Laura and her these other wonderful women my way. I’m feeling so much better, more confident, and able to do what needs to be done with their support and encouragement. I’m less anxious about stuff learning how to think things through with Clutter Clarity!!”
— Angie Iyer, NV
“Yesterday’s group meeting was a really positive experience. I particularly appreciated and admired how you engaged with Lynn to guide her with “The ClutterClarity Way” (I love the phrase, btw!!) so she could declutter with non-force, (less self-criticism) and “notice without judgement.” It does all make sense! Powerful.”
— Lisa Abend, MA
“I think the work you do is great! The principles and guidelines that you teach are so applicable to all of life, not just decluttering. Thank you for your wisdom and compassion. You are worth every penny, and more!”
— Deborah Uffindell

“Well, I am one of those people who have been orbiting you for a long time! Thank you for the great presentation. Your approach and insights are so rational, and inspiring. Just what I needed to hear — a far better perspective makes it possible to come back to all the stuff!”
— Margaret Davis, UT
“Spurt of energy! Signing up for the Group motivated me — Big Brother coming tomorrow. 8 bags of clothes out the door!!”
— 👏 Lynn Atkins, MA
“I prayed for the best possible person to help me downsize and make a big move. My prayers were answered! Your personal coaching and the weekly Group (all on Zoom!) are life saving! I am now enjoying showing up regularly & gladly giving my attention to “What now, what next?” My life is much more enjoyable now that I have ClutterClarity.”
— 😊 Elke Short, FL
“I had a big “WOW” moment when I rewatched the recording of our group session. I’ve been forgetting one very important word at the end of the 4 questions to use to decide what’s clutter: “NOW!” Now I say “ now” out loud. It’s so much easier for me to release things — now! Instead of slipping into the past or thinking I may need this in the future. Thanks so much for your teaching.”
— Mary Hennessy, VT
“I am more motivated and more confident that I can achieve my decluttering goals than I ever thought possible Your encouraging, cheerful group sessions & ongoing support are life giving blessings & weekly presents🎁 of encouragement, new energy, and heathy, happy thoughts. Feeling good! Forever grateful.”
— Anna Moretti, Italy
“Thank you for the great presentation just now - your approach and thoughts are so rational and inspiring - and just what I needed to hear in order to come back to all this with a far better perspective on the decluttering issue. Definitely fired up about taking my downsizing / decluttering situation on in a far more consistent manner in order to actually get my life in a far better and balanced place.”
— Jennie Ferguson, TX
“It makes a huge difference knowing you and the women in our group are in my corner! Yesterday’s group session was great! I really admire your integrity, your insights, and your compassion! This morning I spent an hour on Admin and 2 hours on estate planning, and I actually enjoyed it, thanks to you!! See you next Wednesday!”
— Justina Voulgaris, CA
“Thanks so much for your ongoing support and flexibility. I’m learning so much about my self (in a very humbling way), about my decluttering blind-spots, and various other challenges while I downsizing and moving out of my beloved home Good to be able to laugh at myself, indeed, trying hard to do so, practicing self-care while decluttering!”
— Judy Cole, MA
“I think our group zooms are great — I enjoy hearing from the other women, like Lynn who was so open about her challenges with over-purchasing and then not being able to find items. It’s really helpful for me to see that other reasonable women are challenged, too, and sharing so openly about our different “clutter blind” spots. The group is so responsive, cheering each other along.”
— Aurora Bowman, NH
“Series of breakthroughs, not one conversion experience, baby steps, and each time I show up, I feel better… I feel better, too, as I let go of old personal habits and history. Decluttering my present life now, asking What’s true for now? Me now vs. I might need this someday. The key is to be on the court, and practice, eventually you get very proficient… organizing and decluttering an reorganizing stuff after deciding keep or let go “in a way that feels good.” So grateful.”
— Beth Mitchell, NJ
“Thank you so much to Laura for creating this wonderful program — safe and sacred space — for us to meet and clear clutter together.”
