Introduction
Hi there! My name is Joanie, founder of Alchemy Home Organizing. My team and I are committed to helping people transform their spaces from overwhelming mess to rejuvenating sanctuary. Whether you're struggling with chronic disorganization, an unruly pantry, a whole-home clutter explosion, or a stress-inducing move, it’s our mission to create a space that you love coming home to. And let's be honest: it can be just plain weird to have a stranger come into your house and help you with your stuff. That's why we lead with our values of compassion, non-judgement, and patience. We take a client-centered approach, knowing that every individual and family has unique needs, and that it's our job to create organizational systems that work for YOU, not anyone else. So, feeling ready to alchemize your space? Let's talk! ** Please do NOT choose Instant Booking! Choosing the right organizer is important to the success of your project, so I find it best to have a conversation first to confirm that we are a good fit. Please message me or reach out via the contact form on my website. Thank you! **

I am so happy I went with this Spirit House to help me turn my apartment into my home. I’ve struggled for years to get organized and Joanie really took her time getting to know my routines and needs to cultivate a space that works for my lifestyle. She’s a miracle worker and I am so grateful for her services! The results speak for themselves.

We had an excellent experience working with Joanie and would highly recommend her. We had a complicated whole house project that involved getting the house ready for a renovation (by moving most things out of it, including ourselves) and packing for three different temporary living arrangements (that would take us from summer to fall to winter). We had been living in the house for over 20 years so there was a lot of sorting (and discarding) to do. Joanie sat us down and helped us first think through the whole project and came up with a strategy. Then she worked with us to execute the plan bit by bit over many weeks. She is calm, is able to think big picture and also is very good with details. She was good at gaging where we needed direct help, or just guidance and also was very good at working independently. Joanie had great ideas on how to pack up various things we would be using for the 4-5 months we were out of the house (like our spices, jewelry, documents, ands so much more). We managed to part with a lot of things, avoiding the expense of having them in storage. We will certainly try to work with Joanie again on any future projects!

Joanie was awesome!! She helped us to de-clutter out children’s playroom and basement. She came on time, had great ideas about how to declutter our space and make it more organized and interactive for the kids. She worked non-stop alongside us get the job done. We would highly recommend her for anyone considering organizing, de-cluttering, or decorating their home.

I moved here from Austin with my two young kids during a difficult divorce, with no energy to unpack my new apartment. Joan and I worked together over the last couple of months to help me move in and organize, taking into account how things made me feel. She gave me permission to release what didn't serve me or my kids (toys! clothes! papers!), and I learned how to ground myself in my home, by working alongside her and watching her work. Joan gave me style books from her library, gently encouraging me to consider my interests, and discovered some GREAT furniture finds from local buy-nothing groups. She offered wonderful advice when I opined that organizing on my own was emotionally difficult, and brought spirit into our collaboration and into my home. And today, my kids did their laundry with ease because of her encouragement to have a system in place. THANK YOU <3

It was an absolute pleasure! I love how my rooms are coming together and the fact that she left me an action plan and some homework until we meet again. This will be an ongoing project with a few more sessions till completion of my home. However I do see the progress and I'm looking forward to coming home to a fully organized home again. So grateful for the help!
