I’m Wendy Stone, owner of Lighten Up Organizing & Cleaning, which opened in February 2018. I understand how much clutter in our homes can affect our well being. I have been decluttering and organizing for the last 25 years for business associates, friends, and family. I have a BA in Sociology & Psychology and a Human Services Counselling Diploma from NSCC. I have worked with various shelter programs between the Annapolis Valley and within the HRM as well as private business.
My education and experience enables me to provide support for the trauma people feel that has led to the clutter in their home. I provide coaching to assist effectively and compassionately deal with clients who may suffer from depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, brain injury, and hoarding. I provide people with support and tips who suffer from chronic disorganization. I can also assist individuals working through the grief process whether its decluttering due to a loved one passing away or needing to move to a smaller space as there are negative emotions attached to this process. I can help them cope with the decluttering process and ensure that their precious items are organized to their satisfaction. Helping them understand how to stay organized - which will reduce their stress levels. I am glad to help individuals to transform their space of chaos back into their space of peace. Somewhere they can bring their friends and family.
In 2023, I had the opportunity to work for Hoarders Canada on one of their episodes, to support a family who needed help decluttering and reorganizing their home. It was such a success.

Thanks so much for your encouragement, patience and support.
