The Minimalist Monarch
Creating space for what matters most.
Supportive coaching to help you gain clarity, simplify your space, and build systems that support your authentic life.
Hi, I’m Kristen!
I help people reduce overwhelm, simplify their space, and create sustainable organizing systems that support the life they want to live.
As your Clutter Strategist, I'll help you uncover what's driving the clutter, create systems that work with your natural tendencies, and make more room for what matters most.
The Mission
I help people create space for their authentic lives.
Clutter can be a sneaky thief of your time, money, and attention. When left unchecked, it can distract us from our true values, priorities, and life purpose. I help you to name what matters most and clear away the physical and mental clutter that is holding you back. Because everyone deserves a space that supports them and their real life.
The Approach
This work is about more than getting organized.
My approach goes beyond surface-level organization because clutter is rarely just about ‘the stuff’. It's often connected to overwhelm, life transitions, and self-doubt.
Rather than organizing your home for you, I help you develop the mindset, skills, and systems to create lasting change.
Together, we will explore the behavioral and thought patterns that contribute to clutter and create manageable systems that are rooted in your values, goals, and capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
As a Clutter Strategist, I sit at the unique intersection of life coaching and home organization. Consider me your guide as you understand your relationship with clutter and build organizing systems that work for you.
-
Clutter is in the eye of the beholder. What is clutter to you may not be the same as what it is to your friends, family, or co-workers.
My definition of clutter that requires attention is:
It is a safety or health hazard
It is causing you mental anguish or strain on your relationship with yourself or others
-
My work goes beyond one-time organizing fixes. My role is to help you build the skills to maintain your space long after our work together ends. Working virtually allows me to support you wherever you are whenever works best for you.
-
Absolutely not! I am here with you every step of the way - whether that’s on our calls or email. I also fully support you enlisting in-person support as you declutter, build systems, and organize.
-
Absolutely. In fact, many people find that coaching helps them get more value from in-home organizing services. Together, we'll clarify your goals, identify your organizing style, and create a plan before implementation begins. Hiring help is often most effective when you have a clear vision and strategy in place.
-
I have a unique blend of training and education in psychology, life coaching, project management, and organization. Combining all these facets, I don’t just help you with surface-level organizing, but also the underlying thoughts and behaviors that will help you maintain your system.
-
I will hold your dignity in the utmost respect while also gently challenging thoughts and behavior patterns that contradict your values and goals. In our sessions, you can expect a blend of guided meditation, self-reflective exercises, and practical advice and guidance.

No! And that is never my goal for you or myself. With life comes clutter. I am in it just as much as you are. The things I’m telling you are what I’m telling myself as well.
