hello & welcome. i’m emi.

With Japanese organizing guru, Marie Kondo.

I’m a professional organizing expert, Master KonMari Consultant, KonMari Club Coach and Blisshaus Kitchen & Pantry Organizer.

I love creating spaces that are efficient and beautiful—but that doesn’t mean I have a shiny, perfect life, or expect you to either. What matters isn’t how many shoes or books you have, but how they make you feel.

I’m passionate about helping people who feel weighed down by clutter—physical or mental—and are ready to let go so they can live with more clarity, ease, and intention.

I believe in letting go responsibly—wherever I can, I give back to our communities and incorporate environmentally sustainable practices into my work.

I’m also a mom and a wife. I love yoga, houseplants, dark chocolate, and shoes! I grew up in the San Francsico Bay Area and now live in Japan, serving clients locally and worldwide.

It is not exaggerating to say it was transformational to have Emi come to our house.

my story

I was born with the organizing gene.

When I was three, I earned the “Librarian’s Award” for creating a catalog system for our preschool library.

But in spite of my DNA, I was always drowning in clutter.

Somehow, I had missed the memo about letting go.

After a lifetime of tucking things away because they were “special” or because I might need them “someday,” my closets and cabinets were overflowing.

I was overwhelmed and exhausted by work, family and “too much stuff.” All I could think about was how I desperately wanted to organize my life.

For years, I was sure that all I needed were better organizing supplies, or a more efficient organizing system.

I convinced myself that if I just had the right hangers, boxes and bins, all of my problems would be solved.

Being a perfectionist, I constantly second-guessed myself and my decisions and stayed stuck, afraid of making the wrong choice.

Marie Kondo's KonMari Method® helped me move through indecision, and finally let go of both physical clutter and the guilt and fear attached to it.

Letting go gave me space—not just in my home, but in my life.

When I discovered Blisshaus, I fell in love with its mission to help busy families live beautifully and simply, while reducing their impact on the planet. I’m not fully zero-waste or plastic-free, but believe that together we can make a difference.

Today, I serve as a coach in Marie Kondo’s KonMari Club. In this role, I guide members to use joy and aliveness as a compass beyond the home. I’ve seen what becomes possible when people are given structure, support, and space to listen to their inner guidance.

I believe business can be a force for good. I welcome clients of all backgrounds with empathy and without judgment, and I’m committed to helping people declutter sustainably. I donate a portion of my profits to organizations that support education, equity, empowerment, and sustainability.

As a Master KonMari Consultant, KonMari Club Coach, a Blisshaus Stylist and a Professional Home Organizer, I’m passionate about helping my clients let go of physical and mental clutter so that they can make space for more peace, joy and intention in their lives.
