Declutter
Your Life
the objects, mindsets, habits, and practices that do not serve you.
Clut•ter
Is clutter…
Wasting your time?
Sucking your energy?
Draining your bank account?
Impacting your health?
Sabotaging your professional goals?
Undermining your confidence?
Causing harm to your relationships?
Are you ready to make a change?
The home is where it all begins–it is the foundation from which you launch your life. Close your eyes and imagine for a moment that your space is peaceful, organized, and inspiring. You have a vision for your life, and every object, habit, and practice within your home serves that vision.
You deserve empowering and compassionate support to work through the internal and external obstacles that keep you from realizing this vision.
Hello, I’m Lily!
I am excited that our paths have crossed. You are here for a reason and I am excited to learn why. Regardless of the work we do together, I promise to show up with excitement, curiosity, empathy, joy, humor, compassion, and a HUGE toolbox of practical skills.
Together, we will get from here to there!
I began this work after a near-death experience in 2015 inspired a thorough audit of my life. What did I find? Much of my life did not make me happy. In my hospital bed, I committed to shedding what no longer served me- the habits, mindsets, relationships, commitments, and objects.
Since then, I have stayed true to my mission. I have radically transformed my own life and supported hundreds of individuals and organizations to do the same.
Start with your home, and the rest will follow!
I bring over 8 years of professional home decluttering education, experience and training and a background in art and design. I also bring a lifetime of experience working with emotions and mindsets, including 15 years of mindfulness meditation, an advanced degree in Social Work from Harvard Graduate School of Education, professional training as a coach, and a deep passion for supporting my clients to create joy, beauty, space, and organization in their homes and lives.

Sita Kuratomi Bhaumik
Founder, People’s Kitchen
“Working with Lily was uplifting and inspiring! We approached Lily for help with organizing a shared office space. She helped bring not only order, but beauty to our lives. I was a little afraid that a home organizer would just tell us to toss everything out, but Lily was resourceful, listened to our budget and capacity, and offered solutions and resources that met us where we were at. She brought sensitivity, compassion, and grace to the process and now we can find things more easily! We would work with her again in a heartbeat!”

Jaime Rapaport Barry
Founder, JRB Consulting Group
“My first session with Lily brought a lot of clarity to a particular way I had structured my life that wasn’t quite working for me AND potential solutions for next steps. Lily has a great way of helping you unearth what’s important and think boldly about how to elevate those things in your life. She helps you get concrete, and is a great accountability partner! With Lily, it’s not just about talk, but also taking action for the life you want.”

Ariana Wolf
Founder, Flight Design &
Changing The Shape of Business“Lily lives at the intersection of witchy intuitive depth and practical tactical organization! There are plenty of practitioners who specialize in one of these areas, but few have this unique crossover. You’ll leave sessions with not only a cleanse but also a full to-do list that is mapped out on a Trello board. You’ll not only work through your fears around holding on to stuff but also a list of where to drop your overabundance of Tupperware. You’ll walk away not only having a full healing experience but also knowing how to move into action. Those who get to tap into Lily’s magic are in for a treat✨”

Christine Volden
Sales Leader, Consultant & Trainer
“Lily is amazing at what she does. Decluttering and moving brought up a lot of emotions for me and I had so much resistance to doing any type of decluttering before my big move. Lily was kind and gentle in helping me work through it all and also gave me tons of tools and a way to organize everything & break it down into small manageable pieces. Her services are priceless. I could not recommend her more highly 🙏🏽”

Emilia Spirito
Founder, Fertile Ground Studio
“Lily is fantastic at what she does! My parents sold the 4 bedroom home they lived in for 25 years and had to incorporate all they kept into an already lived in substantially smaller retirement home. Their goal was to deal with everything and not put a bunch of useless stuff into storage. In 5 days Lily worked on site to declutter a range from everyday items to a garage full of things that had been stuffed into an attic, dating back to moves that happened in the 80s. She supported my mother in identifying what was really important and what she was ready to let go of. I had been helping them with the move and she navigated my own relationship with my mother through the stressful process, helping to identify where I could help and what my mother needed to do on her own, keeping the process moving forward efficiently and thoughtfully. 6 months later I went to visit and the house is still more decluttered and organized than ever and my parents are thrilled with the results. Lily created a lasting and practical organization system, tailored to their specific needs, that they can realistically maintain. The house looks amazing, many a personal conflict was avoided and my parents feel like it was the best investment they could have made for their home and their sanity!”

Heather Delagi
Family Nurse Practitioner
“Lily was absolutely amazing. I have tried many times to discard things and reorganize, but never my whole home all at once. Within 4-5 days she helped me do it all. She created a supportive space and incorporated a spiritual component which was essential for me. There were times where we came across items that had a lot of sentimental value. She never rushed me. She gave me time and space to sit with the item and determine if it and was important to keep. This is not an easy process. It is tiring and emotional but she motivates you and is beyond kind. She noticed when I was becoming overwhelmed. At those times, she would have us take a break and get a snack or lunch. As we started back into the process, she would lead a short guided meditation that ended with reminding me of my intentions. To this day, I still have a very large post it note in my living room that includes the intentions I set on the first day we worked together. Thank you, Lily!!”

I can't recommend Lily enough. She was so supportive emotionally and practically during a moment of really big change and transition in my life. She has been doing decluttering/organizing work forever and has a clinical background in therapy and professional training in meditation and coaching. She is super attuned, deeply supportive and is also really a joy- super funny, fun, and easy to work with. She is a little witchy, too, if you like that kinda thing! She was very good at dropping in and slowing down when I needed it, but also helped me make steady progress, keeping my deadlines and practical needs in mind. She's got a lot of energy and is very motivating. I walked away from the experience getting so much practical stuff done, but also feeling lastingly, deeply transformed by the experience. She also does life coaching. Reach out to her and at least schedule a consult because she's amazing! (I am still working with her for life coaching after we finished with the decluttering).

Founder, Riverstone Chiropractics
“Lily worked with us on a big project that spanned multiple rooms in our house. She was really organized with laying out on paper all the things that were going to have to happen before we dove in. When i've tried to declutter on my own in the past, my closet will look great for awhile, or my pantry will stay organized for a few weeks, but then chaos has always crept back in. Lily had us work with a more global approach, like gather all the bags in the house or gather all the towels at once. It was a mix of surprise, overwhelm, sentimental emotions, and a feeling of shedding or restarting which felt good. She really talked us through how to decide what to keep and what to donate or trash without judgement. And listened to our ridiculous stories and laughed and cried with us as we made it through each part of the project. Most of the systems she helped us implement are still in place now and feel sustainable, and I know more about how to approach any new clutter that tends to build up. We also did a bonus garage cleanout/organization with Lily after the house project were done, and i was impressed with how efficient she was and how much progress we made in there!”

Founder, On Purpose Leadership Coaching
“I had a great experience with organization expert, Lily Williams, who I hired to help me clean out, organize and re-think my kids' room and the entryway to my house. In 4 hours, we made so much progress. She had great ideas about how to use my entryway closet more efficiently and I was able to implement many of them within days. Thanks to her motivation, my husband and I cleared through our entire basement and were able to donate a lot of things that had been taking up unnecessary space. She was a pleasure to work with. I feel 100 lbs lighter!!!”

“Lily helped me declutter my entire home in 5 days. We went through a lifetime of possessions that I’ve moved from a dozen houses over the years. I can‘t recommend her enough. It’s been over a year and it honestly changed me for good. I think about my physical stuff in a completely different way now. I didn’t believe i could change but the process changed me. I was also really worried about the cost but it has paid off times 10 because I can find things now and waste less time searching and stressing.”

Katie Byrd
Founder, Amplify Your World
“I worked with Lily as I was building my own Coaching Business as a first-time entrepreneur. Lily was instrumental in my process of decluttering my resources and thought process, helping me to gain clarity and simplify by starting with the basics. I highly recommend working with her if you're looking for a coach who can hold you accountable while being radically honest - and being a consistent cheerleader (and resource-giver) all along the way!”

Cheryl White
Director, The Cedars of Marin
“Lily helped me to declutter my walk-in closet stuffed full of not only my own clothes (over 3 decades of clothing!) but a lot of my recently deceased mother’s belongings, too. She was so fast, efficient, and also very attuned. She knew just when I needed a break and when to push forward. As a bonus, we not only got my closet done, but also started tackling the hallways closet- more than I imagined we’d so in a short amount of time. I needed both some hand holding for the emotional part, as well as the skills, and she offered both. I’m going to get another session soon to work on the rest of the house and am really looking forward to it!”

Keri Waller
Project Manager
Working with Lily at Open Space Design for coaching and space clearing was an absolute game-changer! She is super efficient and has a gift for quickly and effectively transforming stuck things from total chaos and confusion to calm and organized. She is genuinely empathetic and offered unwavering support throughout the process, even when I was losing perspective and feeling discouraged. She has a remarkable ability to connect on a personal level, and understand the underlying needs and concerns with compassion and discernment. She's also fun and funny! Working with Lily was a joy-filled experience and I am so looking forward to the next time I need support to clear some clutter.

Timothy James
Software Engineer
“I was overwhelmed by my crammed-full kitchen. Lily worked with me to go through it all, bit by bit, until my living room floor was filled wall to wall with everything I no longer needed... and then she disappeared all that noise out my door for me. When I had trouble deciding what to keep, or was just too overwhelmed to make decisions, she worked with me with kindness and respect. Yet she brought an efficiency to the hours we worked together: so much got done! She masterfully blends hard, fast work and conscious, caring guidance. The amazing thing: by Lily’s going through all my stuff _with_ me like that, my relationship to space and things began to change. I’m so much less cluttered now, and it’s been a couple years! Worth every dime.”

Kira Neel
Family Medicine Doctor
“Working with Lily to declutter our home after having a baby was a dream come true. She was supportive, patient and encouraging throughout the process - which, surprisingly, was sometimes quite emotional. I laughed, I cried, and ultimately I ended up with space - physical, emotional and spiritual - for our family to grow. Thank you Lily!”
-
Shanthi Kappagoda
Physician
“We worked with Lily on decluttering and reorganizing our whole house and she was just fantastic. She brought energy and enthusiasm but also the patience to talk through challenging parts of the project and flexibility to make things work with the space we have. We felt we got a huge amount done in a short amount of time. This was a really perspective shifting experience - we went from feeling overwhelmed and disorganized to having a place for (almost:) everything. Our kitchen is much more enjoyable to cook in now and we went from thinking we needed a whole kitchen remodel to just using the space more effectively. Highly recommend!”

Tenagne Habte-Michael

“Lily is a decluttering genius! She is super fast and energetic, but also knows when to slow down. I highly recommend working with her if you want someone attuned, caring, and who also has a really wide skill-set and experience with organizing.”

Kris Gleason

“Lily’s warm presence and light of awareness helps you enter uncomfortable territory with greater ease and trust. Her playful spirit shows up in moments it is needed most, and her depth of training and experience are evident in her ability to hold all things with balance and wisdom. She is a phenomenal resource!”

“Lily is efficient, committed to her mission, she is fast, and the kindest problem solving person I've met. She guided me through setting up an entire system and instilled the confidence I needed to enhance my business's organizational structure. I cannot thank her enough and strongly recommend collaborating with Lily.”

“I could count on Lily to give me her full attention and care when I needed it most - not only listening to what I had to say but allowing me to speak freely and openly without fear of judgement.”
