It’s all about balance.

Let’s clear the clutter and calm your nervous system.

I know how you might be feeling:

Overwhelmed by all of the stuff taking over your house, frustrated by picking up the same toys and books and shoes every single day, thinking that you are stuck when it comes to the process, maybe even feeling embarrassed that things don’t function like they should (or look like you think they should!).

While these are all perfectly normal and valid emotions surrounding the stigma of cluttered spaces, just know that it’s not you. Maybe no one ever taught you how to get organized, and that’s where I come in.

You weren’t made to be cleaning up and organizing 24/7.
You have a life, a family and a home!

Other home organizers may tell you to start in one part of your space, or claim that a million bins and boxes are the secret sauce to creating a Pinterest-worthy home. The truth is that there is not a “one size fits all” when it comes to organization. 

My approach is truly client-centered, meaning our time together is tailored to your household needs. And with more than 20 years of clinical expertise as an occupational therapist, it’s so much more than just putting similar things in the same bucket.

I get to the root cause of the clutter by understanding your daily habits, buying patterns and so much more.

That constant hamster wheel of starting over with your organizational tactics every single month? Done. 

Imagine how much better you’ll start to feel, how much more confident you’ll become, how much easier it will be to breathe.

Let’s clear the clutter and calm your nervous system.

Together, we’ll take on more than just your home:
we’re going to organize your life.

Let’s pick your path

  • "I’ve hired her twice now and plan to schedule more time with her."

    This has been the first time I have ever used a home organizer, and I was a little worried about it. I was picturing the tv shows where an organizer comes in and you’re left with 8 floor to ceiling metal racks with plastic containers in them. My actual experience was completely different. I went from a room where it was hard to move around to an area I can use for my various art projects. She used my own things where it was possible and brought in economical solutions where I needed them. I’ve hired her twice now and plan to schedule more time with her.

  • "Sarah helps organize so much more than just physical clutter."

    Sarah helps organize so much more than just physical clutter. She's shown me strategies to organize schedule clutter, mental clutter, and digital clutter. I'm a busy self-employed mom, and Sarah's approach to organization has helped me find more peace, less stress, which has benefitted both me and my family. I highly recommend anyone to work with Sarah either in person or via her course.

  • "I have experienced first hand such positive habit changes"

    The guidance Sarah has offered through a variety of resources and access, for clients at every various budget price point level, are priceless! Through her guided 31-day declutter challenge, I have learned life long habits of when I bring in something new to the home, something old needs to go. I have experienced first hand such positive habit changes and trust her organizational knowledge for results, that I have even encouraged close friends to sign up for her online course. I am excited for them to make a life long difference in their homes and lives as well, through Sarah’s expertise and life organizational wisdom!

  • "I appreciated her calm and grounding presence through the process of decision fatigue and emotional changes."

    Sarah is a complete class act. Every time I meet up with her, I am impressed with the grace and discretion she has when assisting clients navigate difficult and sensitive topics. I am also consistently wowed by Sarah Larsen's standout expertise as an Occupational Therapist who helps people get their lives in order. As a mother who also runs a business, I faced a huge transition when moving homes and setting up a home office space with children constantly underfoot. My default personal organization plan involves lots of piles, yet I never felt judged when working with Sarah! I appreciated her calm and grounding presence through the process of decision fatigue and emotional changes. She coached me into setting up some very useful and sustainable systems and wasn't all about containerizing the mess which I appreciated. Thank you Sarah for helping me find some order in the chaos!

Hey there, I’m Sarah!

Balanced Home Organization owner Sarah Larsen

When my boys were little, I felt overwhelmed by all of the baby clutter and toys in my home.

I was working in a hospital as a clinical occupational therapist and I felt overwhelmed and anxious as I tried to hold everything together. I felt like I had lost myself in the process of having 2 kids. I had everything I ever wanted, but I wasn’t happy. I tried everything to get my thoughts and emotions back on track, and nothing seemed to work.

It was a book from my mother-in-law that changed my life.

In order for my clients to have the highest success rate of organizing their home, my background in clinical occupational therapy gives me the ability to observe their behaviors and patterns throughout the decluttering process. And I see similar habits and situations from them time and time again. 

To-do lists that are a mile long, falling behind on deadlines, showing up late and feeling so incredibly overwhelmed… sound familiar? 

Let’s put an end to the trend and break the cycle, starting with your personal tasks and household management.
