Organizing Testimonials
“Kristin is amazing! After moving into our new home, I needed help organizing my kitchen along with many other rooms of the house. Feeling very overwhelmed with the moving process, I called Kristin and she was extremely helpful as she helped unpacked boxes and put the house in order. Kristin is great to work with and I'm grateful for Joy Foundry!”
- Sara S. (Home Organizing Client)
“We are loving the progress on our basement, I feel so much less scatterbrained and I know exactly where everything is and what we have.
You're amazing and you are so easy to work with!”
- Kim (Joy Foundry Client)
“Kristin is a joy to work with! My 93 year old mom needed help clearing out her closet and laundry room, simplifying her every day life. It was wonderful to have someone work with me and my mom step by step. Kristin was clear and positive while offering her professional insights to help us clear things out. My mom and I were extremely pleased with the whole process and the outcome.”
- Martha R. (KonMari Closet Purge)
“In a relatively short amount of time, Kristin helped me solve a problem that was years in the making”
Almost all of the closets in my empty-nester home were crammed with my clothes- a jumble of new purchases along with clothing dating back a decade or more.
I had drawers and closets full of items that haven’t fit me for longer than I care to admit, special occasion attire from many, many years ago, coats, jackets, vests, and then, the shoes. Oh my! All this, and yet I felt I had nothing to wear.
I was ready for a change. Kristin’s system of helping me see the whole and then deciding on each individual item really works.
Kristin’s process made an overwhelming task simple. All I had to do was to make decisions and she handled the rest.”
- Pam (KonMari Clothing Client)
We vastly underestimated the time and energy it would take to downsize our family home of 30 years while working on the smaller house we had purchased. After months of downsizing with no end in sight, we were fortunate to find Kristin Kluis. She helped us set goals and kept us on task by working with us a couple days per week. We found her to be fast and efficient while at the same time friendly, encouraging, patient, and understanding of the emotions of parting with some of our treasures. We appreciated that she knew where to donate items, and took them away for us after we made our decisions. When everything was moved, she continued to help by organizing our belongings in our new house. We are happily settled now, and thankful that Kristin saved us time, energy, and money by getting us out of our big house so we could sell it. We highly recommend Kristin and her Joy Foundry business to organize your move, and your new living space.
- Janet B. (Moving & KonMari Client)
“Kristin communicates clearly and effectively, always maintaining a positive attitude while thoughtfully addressing her clients' concerns. Her organizational skills, paired with her genuine commitment to understanding each client's unique needs, make working with her a truly positive experience.“
- Carolyn, Downsizing client using the KonMari Method®
“There are not enough words of gratitude to properly thank you for doing for me what no one else could! Getting my clothes organized and helping me to get rid of clothes is really a priceless gift! I truly feel a sense of relief and peace now!”
-Janet C. (KonMari Clothing Client)
“After going through all my clothes and getting rid of 2 garbage bags full - I don’t miss anything I got rid of. I cannot even remember what was in there“
- Organization client using KonMari Method® for clothing.
“If you're on the fence about hiring Kristin, let this be your sign, do it! Our basement had become completely overwhelming, and what she did with it was truly transformative. I don't use that word lightly. The space is not only organized now, but it actually feels sustainable, like we can maintain it this time.
What really stood out was how seamlessly Kristin worked around the realities of family life. I was juggling my kids the entire time, and she was completely unfazed, jumping in to include me when she needed input and working independently and efficiently when I couldn't be right there. I never felt like I was holding things up or that she was waiting on me.
She was warm, personable, and completely non-judgmental (which, if you've ever had someone dig through years of accumulated basement chaos, you know matters more than you'd think!).
The piece that honestly sold me most: she took everything we were getting rid of with her and handled donating or disposing of it all responsibly. That's always where I get stuck, and she just... took care of it. It made the whole process feel genuinely complete rather than just shifting the problem somewhere else.
Kristin is the real deal. Highly, highly recommend Joy Foundry!”
-Kim (KonMari Basement Client)
“I highly recommend if you have any spaces that feel disorganized. They don't have to be a massive mess for Kristin to help. I hired Kristin for 8 hours of work and she got an outstanding amount organized. My closet, wardrobe, and kitchen look amazing and, maybe more importantly, Kristin showed me how to keep those spaces organized and tidy for the future. I will definitely work with her again in the future.”
-Courtney. (KonMari Clothing & Kitchen Client)
I worked with Kristin at Joy Foundry to organize a few areas in my home (kids toys, basement, etc) and it was an amazing experience! Kristin helped to break down these overwhelming tasks into smaller pieces and she helped me stay focused. With Kristin’s help I now have a very usable space in the basement that is free from clutter and everything in its place! Her thoughtful approach made it easy to make decisions, and her expertise turned our vision into reality. It’s been such a relief to have her guidance and support throughout the process! I know I’ll use her services again - it was so worth it for this project!
- Sara S. (Organizing Client)
“I had been avoiding updating my resume & cover letter for years because it felt so overwhelming. Thankfully, Kristin came to my rescue! She not only helped me identify and highlight the accomplishments most relevant to my desired positions, but she also guided me through the initial steps to get started.
Kristin introduced me to useful technologies to streamline the process and provided the encouragement I needed to stay accountable and see it through to completion. Her talent for organization and her ability to tackle long-overdue tasks is truly impressive. I highly recommend her services!”
- Amanda (Resource & Strategies Client), Founder + Entrepreneur
“It was a joy (pun intended) working with Kristin! She transformed my mudroom and pantry, bringing order and clarity to the space. Her process was both efficient and effective, with creative solutions that were truly appreciated. It's such a relief to have functional spaces again and easily find everything we need!”
- Ali (Organizing Client)
“Kristin’s guidance with the KonMari Method® gave us a significant opportunity to downsize. We had accumulated far too much over 56 years, but thanks to her we have removed so many items that we do not need, and that do not bring us joy. A very positive experience“
- Larry, KonMari Method® Client
“Kristin took my disaster of a basement and quickly and efficiently sorted everything and boxed and labeled it.
The KonMari method worked wonderfully and I will have her back for the garage. Thanks Kristin-that basement was weighing heavily on me.”
-Janet P.(KonMari Basement Client)
“Joy Foundry helped turn an overwhelming basement storage space into something we can actually use again. Kristin made the whole process feel manageable and much less stressful. Having someone else organize your space can be surprisingly vulnerable, and she did such a nice job building connection, making me feel comfortable, and creating a completely judgment-free experience.”
-Lyndsey. (KonMari Basement Client)
“Kristin was amazing!! She came multiple times and helped us immensely! Decluttering our closet, basement, papers, books and kids toys! She was friendly kind warm and inviting. Easy to talk to and explain what issues we were facing.
The biggest thing she helped with was breaking down massive tasks into smaller more manageable steps. This was a big hurdle she helped us overcome.
Would definitely recommend you try her services, if you are looking to declutter your life!”
-Mark (KonMari Client)
“Kristin is the best consultant I have ever worked with. That includes in my corporate life. She provides a plan to tackle whatever size project you have. But the big difference is that she actually helps you get the work done, side-by-side. This is an amazing benefit because you get more done together and you cannot procrastinate.😉
We started working the first day I met her. She did not waste any time. She also did not make me fill out paperwork or make me define my needs. She just listened and we started to work.
Kristin is very smart and efficient. She anticipates what we might need to accomplish a particular project. So I did not have to worry about the details.
In summary, Kristin is amazingly good at what she does. She listens very well and then helps you focus on what matters most to YOU! I feel blessed to have found her. And with with her knowledge and energy, we accomplished more to simplify my life that I ever imagined possible.
The resulting joy is very, very rewarding!!!”
