History of Elena's Declutter

I started my business and created this website after my year abroad in Peru, at the beginning of my Junior year of university at WWU.
Posted First Blog Post
November 2019
I wrote and published my first blog article about how I came to be interested in decluttering. You can find an updated version of that article on my about page.
First Client
December 2019
My first ever client was a college friend of mine. I helped her sort and organize her room. She left me a sweet review too.
Hope Heals
January 2020 - September 2021
This was my first big client. My university hired me to help a local non-profit organize and declutter their processing center. I ended up doing all kinds of things for them, not just decluttering. But this job taught me a lot about what happens to donations, as well as gave me practice sorting large quantities of items.
Sent First Declutter Email
September 2020
I send out a bi-monthly email with decluttering tips and business updates. My first email was only sent to nine people, but now a lot more people have joined the declutter fam! If you want to be one of them, sign up here.

My first post was about my bullet journal setup. Follow me on Instagram and get free declutter motivation and content 2-5 times a week!
First Online Client

I not only offer in person coaching, but also online coaching. I began working with my first virtual client helping her organize her computer and phone files in 2022. If you'd like to see all the services I offer, head over to my services.
