Certified KonMari Home Organizer
About Yuriko
KONMARI HOME ORGANIZER
Master CERTIFIED KONMARI CONSULTANT
Yuriko worked in higher education for over 10 years, teaching classes on time management, organization, and providing individualized coaching to college students. After reading "The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up", she felt inspired to tidy her own home and tidy the homes of friends and family.
Like Marie Kondo, she has been fascinated with tidying and home organization since she was a little girl. She often drew up organization plans for her room and moved her furniture around to create a more organized and ideal space. She learned early that it's important to only tidy your own items; after several sessions of organizing her family's office space.
After reading Marie Kondo's books, "The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up" and "Spark Joy", Yuriko attended the first-ever U.S. KonMari Consultant training seminar in NYC. She was inspired to start her own business. She completed her tidying marathon and started working towards her certification. The tidying marathon inspired her to start a yoga teacher training class and to start this business. She is a registered yoga teacher, RYT- 200 and the first certified Master KonMari™ organizing specialist in Pennsylvania and the second Master in Maryland/D.C. This process helped her to make space for amazing opportunities in her life. Now she's ready to help you spark joy in yours.

Reviews
“Yuriko made me feel very comfortable during our entire meeting. We started with a mediation to help get in the right mindset which I really enjoyed. We decided to work on my book collection which I felt was relatively under control. However I ended up joyfully donating a lot of books leaving room to display ones that are special to me and organizing the others. Even though I am familiar with the process she uses, having someone walk me through it helped me look at things from a new perspective. I had a lot of fun in our meeting and am now looking forward to going through other categories. Yuriko is warm and thoughtful and I would absolutely work with her again.”
"Yuriko helped me really think about the things I owned and why I'm holding onto them. If they don't spark Joy- off it goes! She helps you methodically cleanse your space of all the stuff getting in the way of the things you do really love. There is an order to the method and once you go through her steps the lessons really stick! Plus she teaches you how to best fold your clothes. Now it's second nature for me to fold this way... my clothes & my soul are so much happier! Thank you Yuriko!"
"I was fortunate enough to have Joy& Space help me organize my apartment. I wasn't sure what to expect but I had a blast! Yuriko helps you organize and de-clutter in a completely non judgmental manner. Yuriko does everything at your pace. You are not made to feel that you are forced to get rid of items that you are not ready to get rid of yet. Yuriko's service is all about helping you de-clutter in a way that will fit your life style and comfort level. I really enjoyed learning how to fold my clothes in a way that creates more space. It makes traveling easier because all I do is grab the folded clothes and in my suitcase they go! If you are new to de-cluttering or have a need for it Joy&Space is the way to go!"
"Yuriko is incredibly talented and passionate about this work. She’s also a lot of fun to spend time with and makes the task of organizing and decluttering fun. If you’ve ever been curious about the KonMari method or about finding more space and freedom in your home, I highly recommend her!"
"Yuriko's warmth and openness made me feel instantly at ease. She was patient and able to facilitate the transformation of my space in an fun and effortless way. After a few months has past, I am still noticing the effects of the work we did together. She helped me be discerning in the way that I keep my home and wardrobe. I'm very grateful!"
“Yuriko was very helpful and gave me great tips on how to organize. I feel so much more in control of my clothes and realized how much of stuff I was holding on to that I should have let go.”
“I met Yuriko at a Junior League conference in February and found out she was a certified KonMari tidying consultant. Yesterday, she came virtually into my home and helped me declutter (while sparking joy).
Took several bags of stuff to the thrift store earlier today, and if you watched Marie Kondo’s show on Netflix, then you know I thanked each item ☺️.
If you’re looking to take advantage of this COVID-19 downtime and declutter, consider her. She is wonderful!”
