Beyond Clutter®

Beyond Clutter® helps people de-clutter, de-stress® their lives, teaching how to let go and live clutter-free!

It was from Helen's personal experience of de-cluttering and downsizing her life that she started Beyond Clutter® in 1991. She knows the difficulties of letting go, what keeps us stuck in clutter and is able to help clients and students work through what keeps them stuck—especially the emotional attachment to things -- because she's been there herself. Helen's a former pack rat who chose to simplify her life and live clutter-free. Her journey includes moving from a 10-room house with a 2-car garage, attic and basement, to a 6-room condominium with no garage, attic, or basement, then to a large 3-room apartment with a den. She now lives in a smaller 3-room apartment and is on a waiting list for a one-bedroom apartment. Her story of transition, serve as inspiration to her students and clients.Helen's length in the field of professional organizing gives her a width and breath of experience many other professional organizers lack. In addition, as a retired attorney, who practiced law for 17 years before creating Beyond Clutter, she's able to work with clients through complex issues in a professional and confidential manner which allows them to successfully let go.The most common response to Helen's flagship talk De-Clutter, De-Stress® Your Life is: “I can’t wait to go home and throw something out.” It’s the perfect program for any organization looking for a topic which touches everyone.Helen's eight books are in workbook style which help people work through their issues as they proceed through the text. Filled with short bullet-ed paragraphs in outline form as well as motivational quotes from others, her books serve as a valuable tool for those who prefer not to come to a talk or have a professional organizer come to their home or office. Through talks, workshops, books or professional organizing sessions, Helen can help you to let go and live clutter free.
