Meet Melinda (aka Mel)
I’m Melinda Ferrier, a Certified KonMari Consultant and the founder of Live Life Organised. As a psychologist and manager, I had a passion for helping people achieve their goals. In 2021 I took a work sabbatical to consider my next career move.
During my break I happened upon Marie Kondo’s books Spark Joy” and “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up” and it was an epiphany. Over the years I had used traditional decluttering methods, however, it never stuck and clutter seemed to creep back with a vengeance.
I followed the principles of the KonMari Method® to complete my own Tidying Festival. The change in my mindset and my own life was so profound I was inspired to complete the KonMari Consultants training. I became a professional organiser and created Live Life Organised to help other people change the way they live and achieve a more organised life, which sparks joy.
If you would like to chat about starting your decluttering journey, contact me to book a free 30-minute consultation.
The KonMari Method®
The KonMari Method®, developed by the Japanese tidying guru Marie Kondo, provides a simple framework for tidying up your home completely, but more importantly, it is a tool to create space for the lifestyle you truly wish to live.
The KonMari Method® is to go through all of your items in your home by category, not by location. There are five categories, which are worked through sequentially: Clothing, Books, Paper, Komono (miscellaneous items) and lastly Sentimental. The method is focused on guiding you through your journey of discovering and keeping only the items you love ~ that ‘spark joy’ and will align with your ideal lifestyle. The Method also has great ideas on how to store items - including the infamous folding technique.
The KonMari Method® can work for anyone regardless of what stage in life, as long as you commit to the process.
