I’ve always been organized, I loved TLC’s Clean Sweep as well as most shows on HGTV, and The Container Store is my happy place. Now, as a professional home organizer myself, I get to do it for you! I took some classes with NAPO and became a professional member in 2019; I am now also a Board Member of my local chapter.

In order to further help my clients, I became a Certified KonMari® Consultant in 2021. Have you heard of Marie Kondo, best-selling author of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and host of the hit Netflix show Sparking Joy? I offer services that are just like her tidying festival – see here for more details.

Life gets busy, clutter can get out of hand. Let me help you organize and regain control of your home. I love the feeling of having cleaned out a closet and removing a carload of excess clutter from a home! I work in-person in San Antonio, Texas and surrounding areas (Far North Central, Stone Oak, Timberwood Park, Spring Branch, Bulverde, Fair Oaks Ranch, Encino Park, Olmos Park, Alamo Heights, Hill Country Village, Deerfield, Rogers Ranch, Thousand Oaks, Shavano Park, Castle Hills, Northwood, Balcones Heights, Tobin Hill, Woodlawn, Boerne, New Braunfels, Schertz, etc.). I also offer virtual organizing sessions, that is, helping you organize via webcam. You can book a free phone consultation to discuss the scope of your project as well as your budget before committing.

 

What is a professional organizer exactly?

Well, I help my clients put their home in order and simplify their life. Sometimes we work on just one area of the house (closet, bedroom, play area, pantry, etc.), sometimes we tackle the whole house. Other times, it’s not only the living environment per se that is overwhelming, it’s a big life transition, and you just need help getting things under control again. So, we get rid of things that are no longer serving you and organize the rest in a practical way that is easy to maintain and, most importantly, that works for YOU! My goal is to help you create an organized space that will make your life easier and more peaceful.

 

More about Amélie Saint-Jacques

You’ve noticed that my name is French and you’re not sure how to pronounce it? It’s “Ah-may-lee”. I am originally from Montreal, Quebec, though I am now an American citizen. I worked as a translator before moving to the U.S., then reoriented my career. I enjoy eating more than cooking; I love knitting and reading to unwind.
