DECLUTTERING DOULA
Photo of me in my tiny home that I built by Diego Medel
Hello! My name is Corinne, and I would love to help you declutter!
If you are overwhelmed by coming home to (or working out of) a cluttered, disorganized or uninspiring house, I specialize in closet cleaning and can do everything up to a complete household makeover where we can work room by room over a series of appointments where we create organizational solutions while also making aesthetic improvements that work in harmony with your lifestyle.
Getting rid of your “stuff” and changing your shopping + lifestyle habits is very emotionally loaded and challenging for most people, so think of me as a life coach for your relationship to your stuff. We can do one room, or an entire home, office or storage unit. You will be amazed at how much a space makeover will cultivate your creativity, improve your general mood and productivity, and truly enable you to use everything you have!

Before
After
>> Storage Unit & Garage
Do you have a storage unit that you have been avoiding because you are emotionally overwhelmed and don’t know what to do with grandma’s fancy china? I can help you tackle the unpacking, repacking, redistribution, labeling, online sales, and best places to bring donations! I provide moral support and focus, keeping you on track so you don’t get distracted or discouraged, and make a game plan for dealing with everything in the unit beyond our initial appointment.
Instead of paying for more months (or years!) of a storage unit space or an eternally messy garage, I can hold your hand and help you lift boxes as we uncover things that make you say "I was looking for that thing!!" I have a van so I can also help with taking things away after we are done sorting plus bring you boxes, tape, markers, and hugs as you deal with all the stuff you have been avoiding. Reclaim that time, money and space by dealing with it once and for all!
>> Closet Cleanse & Fashion Styling
Closet consultations give you the opportunity to let go of what you no longer wear and we make sure that as much as possible gets fixed and redistributed properly so that less things end up in a landfill. You’ll only be left with pieces that you truly LOVE as I clean and organize your closet so that you can streamline your “getting dressed” routine in the morning. After we are done in your closet, I will create a list of key pieces to invest in so that you will have a cohesive, functioning wardrobe. You will find this process to be life-changing, confidence building, and liberating. It isn’t about having new things all the time, it is about loving what you have so that you can wear things in multiple different ways. If people want to go shopping at another appointment to get new (to them) items, I offer personal shopping + styling sessions as well.
>> Studio & Office
We all collect things over the years that we promise ourselves "I'm gonna use this one day I swear!", but ultimately most things build up and cause clutter and stress in the workplace as projects are constantly overlapping and we are pushed to go faster and faster. I will help you purge, sort, clean, and reset your workspace so that you can let go of old ideas + supplies and focus on making room for what is coming, and how to make the best use of the space. Once we have cleared space, I can help shop for new or used furniture or whatever you need to even further optimize the flow in your space.
A once cluttered closet now looks like a store with picture frames I found hiding under piles of blankets in the back of the closet
If you have a storage unit, I can help move things for you or help with getting unwanted items to donation centers after we are done
APPOINTMENTS
I live in San Marcos, Texas (40 mins south of Austin) so for IRL appts you would need to be within one hour-ish of that. If it was a big job with multiple days of work, I could be open to travel near-ish by (in my van not on a plane).
Additionally, I do sessions over FaceTime or Zoom for the same sliding scale rate and I can give you advice on what to keep or get rid of and advice about where to donate & sell in your area.
PRICING
As a practicing anti-capitalist, I offer my services sliding scale
$75-125/hr
Pay between what you think its worth & what you can afford
You're getting a cleaning lady, an interior decorator, a motivational coach and (basically) a therapist for the price of one
If price is an issue (especially for BIPOC & single moms) I am always open to negotiating with people because I believe that everyone deserves this service. I am also open to payment plans.

“Corinne’s decluttering doula service is truly life-changing. After my divorce she helped me go through every item I owned and decide what I needed to take with me and leave behind. A complete reality shift that resonates in my everyday life. 10/10” - JM
How did I end up becoming a Decluttering Doula?
I was raised in a house that was *completely* full of stuff. My parents loved antiques and junk on the side of the road and I grew up around so much clutter that I promised myself I would never accumulate that much stuff for myself. I have basically been helping my parents declutter for most of my life and I have never really lived in a big house as an adult so that coupled with my Big Virgo Energy, I am just very good at keeping things tidy and also looking delicious.
In 2013 I started to work doing closet cleanse appointments + helping people cultivate their personal style while also supporting them in get rid of all the clothes that were no longer serving the person they were becoming. In 2018, I did a challenge where I tried not to buy things or create trash for an entire year based on the film The Clean Bin Project and after that year of “going without”, I created a video series called Minimalism for Maximalists in 2020 where I tried to help people learn more about buying less and taking care of things they already have. In 2021, I built my own tiny home on wheels (with help!) and I knew I was only going to have 310 sq/ft so I made sure that every inch of the house was designed to perfectly fit exactly and only what I truly needed.
With all these experiences under my belt, I love to help other people make the hard decisions about what to keep, what to get rid of, and where to bring it all so hopefully things can be reused or at least disposed of in the best way possible. I naturally have a ton of energy so I help keep the spirits up when people are doing their least favorite thing (going through all the stuff they’ve been avoiding lol).
We laugh, we cry, we fart, and we move through the boxes and piles as I give you homework + tips on how to maintain the systems we set up for years to come :)
