You Want A Clutter FREE Home, but…
It’s frustrating!
😭 You need help
😭 Every nook & cranny is disorganized
😭 Finding your starting place feels impossible
😭 Hiring help feels vulnerable
😭 You resign yourself to the fact that your home will always be a disaster
It is NOT Your Fault.
Here’s a little secret, friend-to-friend.
Traditional Decluttering Methods DOESN’T work for neurodiverse minds like ours.
They simply don’t work when you’re dealing with (or caring for someone who has) special needs or neurodiversity like autism, ADHD, a traumatic brain injury (TBI), or PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).
YOU’RE NOT A FAILURE.
You just need a way to declutter that works with your brain, NOT against it.
You may have clutter,
but clutter doesn’t have you – not when you say yes to …

Meet Your Declutter Coach
Hey friend 👋🏽
I’m Wendy, Your Declutter Coach,
and I’ve been where you are.
After losing my Nephew in 2015, the grief and trauma I walked through made my house fall to the wayside. I was working full time, exhausted, grieving, and burnt out.
I became more and more numb, with less and less ambition to put things back together. I was diagnosed with depression, ADHD, as well PTSD and anxiety from my military service.
I wanted to have my kitchen decluttered but didn’t know where to start. Every room was chaos. Together with my therapist, I created simple frameworks that worked for a special needs brain with limited capacity and unique needs and desires… frameworks that can work for you too!

Don’t let your home suffocate you (video Testimonial):
The Power of Accountability:
Wendy has streamlined my home and my way of life!
As someone who suffers from ADD, it can be debilitating to think of all the things that must be done while trying to do a hundred other things at the same time. Wendy has taught me how to start where I am and has guided those of us in her community with so much respect and dedication. Her classes are worth the investment.
After all, less physical clutter = less mental clutter! If you want someone who will take you by the hand in your decluttering journey and will always have your best interest at heart, she's the coach you never knew you needed!
I am moving houses and have gotten rid of decades worth of stuff -- now, we have a home that doesn't suffocate us. Thank you, Wendy!"
- Kitty G.
I am loving the accountability to at least do something…. instead of staring at the clutter and then tucking away the dissatisfaction of it in the back of my mind… For me it’s a shift in my thoughts about procrastinating not to do anything… Thank you Wendy Zanders you are a huge blessing ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ - Doris G.
Wendy is a miracle worker!! She took our chaotic post-move disaster mess and helped me break it down into manageable areas and categories (stuff to find a spot for, stuff to give away, stuff to toss, etc).
I had been paralyzed by the mess and didn’t know where to begin, and with Wendy’s help we were able to make order out of mayhem and it was completely transformational!!
Love working with Wendy and 100% recommend her services!! - Nikki C.
Wendy: Before we started working together, how did you feel?
Brande: I would say I was overwhelmed and depressed because of constantly feeling overwhelmed having this thing over my head where I felt like I always had to stay home and clean. Like I never had my stuff fully organized the way that I wanted, every time I would try to start it, then finish it just never seemed to happen. Life gets in the way and I just couldn't get past it for some reason. So I was really overwhelmed to say the least.
Wendy: From the moment I walked in the door till now, how did you feel while we were working together?
Brande: I was so thankful that you're such a sweet, warm person and that you were understanding of me and my little eccentricities and you were very helpful to me and didn't make me feel shameful for my piles of things all around that I started and didn't finish. You gave me the courage and the energy to get it done because you're like a bunny rabbit and you just get things done. As we were going through the process and you were giving me tips and tricks, I honestly thought why couldn't I have done this sooner? Accountability really helped me.
Wendy: How do you feel now that we are done working together? Do you think you can maintain everything with all the tips that I've shared with you?
Brande: I definitely think I can maintain. I did leave a few little projects that you know, are like, longer term projects that have to get done. But I'm not scared of them now. I don't feel guilty for having that set aside now, because I've got two or three little projects. And when I get to them, I don't feel bad about it. I'm so excited. I know that I can always call you and ask for help. I feel a total sense of accomplishment. I really feel like I can get out of my house more. I can go and do more because I'm not constantly always thinking in the back of my head “Oh Lord, I have all this housework to do and I really shouldn't go do this, that or the other. So you helped me with the guilt too. It’s just life and I shouldn’t have let it bog me down for about a year. I'm really excited now that I have a starting place where everything has a home. There's even room for things. And I made a friend out of all of it.
Wendy: What would you say to someone who is looking for support? Maybe they’re wondering “Wow, can Wendy really help me with this?” They’re not sure if they would trust somebody to come into their home. Maybe they’re feeling embarrassed. What would you say to them to get them started?
Brande: I think just reaching out. Reading your BIO was amazing, first of all, because I know we joked about it but seriously, like, five of the little things that you had listed for diversity. So, you know. I think Reading that is super welcoming and warming. I think that our first interview session was really great and we hit it right off. And I knew that you weren’t judging me from the beginning. That was the biggest hurdle. Was to find somebody that could actually help me and really not judge me and just give me the nudge that I needed. So I think, just take that step. Just go out there, research, find different declutter organizers, and then when they find your page, they’re going to immediately feel the warmth and hopefully they’ll contact you and have a good interview and feel as great as I did! I mean, I think, just go for it, it’s what they need to do.
The difference of Step-by-Step processes:
“Working with Wendy was awesome! She had a very clear idea of what to do with my space, and was able to clearly show me her plan and helped me make it happen. Thanks to her help, my catastrophe of a basement is now part office, part mancave, part storage, and all toddler-proof! Thanks again, Wendy!” - Renee B.
What happens when you combine the right blend of understanding, grace, & fun with declutter coaching:
“Organized chaos" that term is how I (mostly) lovingly refer to my endless to-do lists and piles, the areas that I know exactly what they are but ultimately are in dire need of being decluttered for better use of space. I love the idea of simplicity and efficiency, and yet continue to notice it is like pushing a rock-up-a-hill factor.
I can and have organized. I can maintain once it's systematized. I ADORE the free, expansive feeling when it's tidy. Yet when it’s out of whack and given the recent huge transition in my life, I knew it was time to ask for help & fresh perspective.
Enter Wendy Zanders, even after our first session I was loving her energy & laughter, the ways she "gets" me already and *deep breath* the homework that I know I can accomplish for this week. Throughout the sessions, she met me where I was (even during an emotional heavy point) and guided gently and with grace. She sends super helpful summaries that I will refer back to and as a visual learner really appreciate. I was able to get areas of my own feel more spacious, joyous, and even got my daughter in the groove (all I have to say is “Miss Wendy says...”.) 😄
One organized chaos pile at a time... Thank you Wendy!!” - Brienne H
PROOF that the right Declutter Coach can equal FAST RESULTS:
“What an amazing afternoon. Wendy Zanders sure knows her stuff about decluttering, organizing, and prioritizing. In just 4 hours we accomplished so much! For those considering using her service you won't be disappointed. Can't wait to continue getting my life back. Thank you so much Wendy. See you again soon!” - Laura C.
“I don’t know where to start! 3 hours of working with Wendy today and I feel like I could breath! She took my “just close the door” and helped me turn it into a place where I want to spend time! Thanks Wendy! I highly recommend her for any one who has the “I don’t even know where to start situation!” She truly is a gem! - Bridget B.
The Power of Including Family:
“Wendy is AMAZING!! She has brought so much peace and sanity to our home in just 4 sessions. We are a busy family with apparently no decluttering skills and house shows it. She came in and magic happened!!
I worked with Wendy on the kitchen, office, master closet, and master bedroom. My favorite part of working with Wendy has been the way she worked with our kids, both with very unique personalities. She was able to get them on board easily with both decluttering and organizing their bedrooms and play space.
Our entire family is thrilled with the progress and we will continue to schedule time with her to keep things under control”. - Heather O.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Who is this program for?
This program best serves anyone that identifies as having special needs, such as: ADHD, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). If you're not sure, feel free to reach out so we can chat and see if it's a good fit.
What do I do if I fall behind in the program?
There truly is no falling behind in this program. We will work at your pace so don’t worry about the 90 days. The weeks serve as a guide so I can help you stay accountable.
I am so overwhelmed, do you think I will be able to be successful in this program?
If you join the program and you show up 100%, then I show up 100% for you. In this program, we'll only work on 1 space at a time. We'll break each space down into small, actionable steps. Those small steps will lead to big wins.
I’ve tried something like this in the past. How is this different?
I have created workbooks to help you be successful. We are all on our own journey so go as fast or as slow as you need. I break it down into step by step pieces to avoid squirreling and to help you stay focused.
How fast will I see results?
Even though we are working together for a total of 90 days, you will see results after the 1st space we tackle together. If the space is cluttered, it’s heavy; when it’s decluttered, it will feel light and like a burden has been lifted.
I don’t have support at home. Will I be able to be successful in this program?
Let’s focus on the spaces that YOU have control over. Is it the kitchen? Your side of the closet? If family members aren’t present when you are working in the space, then we won’t be touching their stuff. If family members are present, I’d love for them to join us and work alongside us.
I’m afraid of judgment over my mess.
I’ve been where you’ve been. My home was a mess when I struggled with depression. I was able to create a process for myself to help me get back on track and I can help you do the same in a compassionate and nonjudgmental environment. If you do not want to share before and after pictures that’s fine. I do encourage everyone to take pictures, even for themselves. You will be amazed at the progress. I truly get you in all of the ways!
We are not a special needs family, can I still work with you?
Absolutely! My approach can work for everyone looking to simplify their home, mind and life.
I am so overwhelmed, where should I start?
I have been in that space of overwhelm. A few years ago I fell into depression and I didn’t recognize my home. To dig myself out of overwhelm, I started listing all the spaces that I wanted to tackle and tackled them according to priority. Helping you create that plan will be one of the first lessons I will teach to get you started.
I still have questions about which option is best for me. Can we chat?
Absolutely! Click here to book your FREE 20 minute Zoom consultation
