Get to know me

Who am I?

Hi, I’m Lauren, Professional Organizer and Founder of Tidy Spaces Toronto. I’ve always loved organizing; when I was a kid all my books were always organized alphabetically, and my favourite game was to play “Secretaries” and create fancy filing systems!

I learned the value of minimalism when I started backpacking in my 20s and living in multiple countries; when you have to pack all your worldly possessions into a bag or two, you quickly learn what items really matter and what you can easily do without. I personally find the practice of minimalism to be incredibly freeing.

Today I get genuine joy from decluttering and creating spaces that are functional, calm, and easy to live in. Since 2021, I’ve been helping Toronto families transform their homes into more peaceful, organized places to live.

When I’m not organizing, you’ll find me spending time with my family and friends, learning to play the fiddle (very badly!), jogging along the Lakeshore, or walking my massive Chocolate Lab, Reg.

What do I do?

I help you declutter, sort, and organize any space in your home, from chaotic pantries and messy counters to overwhelmed basements and kids’ bedrooms.

We’ll set your goals together, and I’ll guide you through the process of deciding what stays and what goes — always at your pace, and with full respect for your space. I’ll even take your donations to local community partners who need and appreciate them.

I’m here to help, not judge. No pressure, no shame; just support and smart systems that work for your life.

What don’t I do?

I’m not a designer, contractor, or reseller. I don’t give decorating advice, install hardware, or sell your unwanted items.

Why do I do it?

As a former stay-at-home parent, I know how overwhelming clutter can be, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Life is busy, and organizing can be hard to prioritize.

I’m passionate about the work that I do because I truly believe that it’s life-changing. Having fewer items in your home frees up your physical and mental space, makes daily tasks so much easier to complete, and lets you spend your precious free time doing the things that really matter to you.

So let’s get started together!
