TEAM Declutter Academy graduates have to say
Kim M.
"I’ve tried LOTS of decluttering programs and TEAM Declutter Academy is the best. I’ve made so much progress and have the skills I need to continue decluttering. Having a coach to train you, give you suggestions and cheer you on was a game changer for me—and that’s exactly what you get in the Academy."
Charis H.
"Tara and her team do a fantastic job sharing ideas, both new and what they’ve used with their in home clients. They were able to address our individual spaces and advised us on our specific concerns. The weekly accountability was crucial to my success in completing the weekly tasks!"
Kim G.
"The 6 weeks in TEAM Declutter Academy have been an adventure and just the kick in the rear I needed to get started on many areas in my house that needed it. Now all the things I learned during this time will be used in all areas of my home!"
Sara J
"The academy has been such a blessing to me. I hesitated in the beginning to spend the money but now know it was so worth it. It’s incredible how my mindset has changed. My most treasured space that we worked on is my closet. That was a huge undertaking that I had been putting off, but now it feels so “light” when I walk in there!
This training has changed me and how I look at things so it’s changing how my husband and teen girls are now looking at things. Unprompted, my husband cleaned out his closet. He said I had motivated him just by seeing what I had been doing!"
Megan B
"I joined TEAM Declutter Bootcamp on a whim but once I got started, I couldn’t stop! Joining the Academy was like the icing on the cake. Tara's methods are easy and effective, and having her fun guidance and support was very encouraging.
Because of all I learned, I was also able to tackle my shed—without fear and loathing! It is now better organized and functional. Also, never think you’re too old to learn new methods. I’m in my 60s, have been keeping house since I was a child, bur I still had much to learn! Thank you Tara!

Your TEAM Declutter Academy Coach
Since February of 2020, I have had the privilege of helping families reclaim their space. I KNOW firsthand how empowering it is, in particular for women, when they let go of the guilt and shame that has made them feel as if they had to keep something they never wanted to begin with. Decluttering has always been the first priority when I work with my in-home clients and from there organizing what remains in a functional and affordable way! You DO NOT need another "cute basket" to store what you aren't even using anyway.
I created TEAM Declutter Academy as my way of coming to you and serving YOU virtually for six weeks. I desperately want to help those who do not live within our service area and give them the same level of support and encouragement that I give to my in-home clients.
I want to help you make hard decisions about what to keep and what to let go of without any shame or judgment. I am also extremely passionate about teaching you how to set up systems so that you are NOT the one who is the "keeper of all the things", the "knower of where everything is".
See you online soon,
Tara

What if my home doesn't have one of the main spaces you will be organizing in the Academy?
I will have you select a different but similar space in your home that is housing the same "type" of clutter we will be purging and organizing. For example, if you don't have a home office you could chose a spare bedroom or storage closet.
