Hi there! I’m Valerie…

Life + decluttering coach, cat mom, (slightly obsessed) birder — and the heart behind Intentional Soul.

I help busy, overwhelmed women get clear on what they want for their life, clear the clutter that’s getting in the way, and set up their home and routines to support their goals and vision.

I’ve learned from my own personal experience that clutter in your life is about so much more than what you see…. it’s about how it makes you feel.

My personal journey with clutter and overwhelm

A few years ago, I learned I am an HSP (Highly Sensitive Person), which explains why I’ve spent much of my life feeling overwhelmed – by strong emotions (still traumatized by the opening scene of The Lion King!), too much socializing (at parties you’ll usually find me hanging out with their pets), and chaos of any sort – especially when it’s in my personal space.

Before I even knew what an HSP was, I knew that clutter of any sort – physical stuff, too many tabs open in my browser, things out of place – has a direct connection to my mental well-being and ability to relax, focus, and be productive.

That’s probably why I’ve always loved decluttering and organizing, even as a kid. Most people would rather have a root canal than declutter a room, but for me that’s a good time!

My own experience has taught me that clearing clutter and organizing your space isn’t just about aesthetics – it’s about how you feel in your space. And how you feel affects how you show up in your life.

It also isn’t just about physical stuff.

There’s digital clutter (an out-of-control google drive and 85 open tabs in your browser), time clutter (a schedule that’s too full, often with a lot of things you don’t really want to do), emotional clutter (emotions you haven’t processed that are keeping you stuck, like guilt, grief, shame, and regret), and mental clutter (like ruminating thoughts and negative self-talk).

Everyone (HSP or not) is affected by their environment – it can either drain and distract you or calm and uplift you.

I truly believe that clutter clearing is one of the most underrated forms of self-care. Combining my coaching skills, background in wellness, and experience in decluttering and creating order from chaos seemed like a natural way for me to support women. It’s a perfect combo — like chocolate and peanut butter!

I’ve helped hundreds of women from all walks of life, but women in midlife and beyond really have my heart and are who I work with most. This season often brings big transitions — career shifts, retirement, empty nesting, downsizing, caregiving, or loss —that call you into a new identity. You may feel pulled toward a new chapter while still tied to items from your past that you’ve outgrown (or never truly wanted). In this season, decluttering and intentional living become some of the most powerful tools you can have.

Whatever season of life you’re in, if you’re tired of feeling drained and overwhelmed, and ready to step into a less cluttered, more peaceful and purposeful life, I’d love to work with you!
