Studies confirm how our living environments can significantly influence how we feel, both mentally and physically and, for those navigating chronic pain, fatigue, or daily overwhelm from stress or burnout, creating a supportive home space can be especially meaningful. Having experienced these challenges herself, Peaceful Home Organizing's founder Jenny Vander Veen offers thoughtful organizing services that honour this important connection.

Available both in-home throughout Guelph, Cambridge, Kitchener-Waterloo, Fergus, Elora, Ariss, and Eramosa, and virtually from anywhere online, Jenny works alongside clients to transform their spaces in ways that complement their wellbeing journey.

Having witnessed how clutter can raise cortisol levels, impairs focus, disrupts sleep patterns, or amplifies feelings of anxiety, Jenny understands this connection intimately. Coming from a family of "post-war pack-rats and hoarders," she spent nearly two decades battling with her own overwhelming home environment. Her personal journey led to an important realization: "It wasn't a problem with ME, it was my STUFF!"

This insight forms the foundation of her approach to helping clients, leading Peaceful Home Organizing to offer several custom service options to meet clients where they are:

// Whole Home Decluttering

Ideal for those feeling completely overwhelmed by their entire living space, this comprehensive service is particularly valuable for individuals with chronic pain, fatigue, or neurodiversity overwhelm who find themselves falling behind on daily tasks due to limited energy reserves.

// Single Space Decluttering & Organizing

Focusing on transforming one problematic area, this targeted approach can be especially helpful when certain spaces trigger stress or anxiety, making daily activities more challenging.

// Decluttering & Organizing Coaching

Providing ongoing support to build sustainable habits, Jenny specializes in working with clients who have ADHD or mental health challenges that make organizing especially difficult, offering compassionate guidance rather than judgment.

// Moving & Downsizing Assistance

With this service, Jenny helps clients manage the physically and emotionally demanding process of relocation, which can be particularly taxing for those with chronic conditions.

Available in-person and online, what sets Peaceful Home Organizing apart is Jenny's practical coaching-based methodology. Rather than simply organizing possessions, she works collaboratively with clients to develop personalized systems that accommodate their unique thinking patterns, physical limitations, and lifestyle needs.

This approach acknowledges that for those managing chronic conditions, traditional organizing methods may not be sustainable. Instead, Jenny focuses on progress rather than perfection, creating solutions that work with, not against, clients' energy levels and capabilities.

The ultimate goal of Peaceful Home Organizing isn't just tidiness, it's transformation. By reducing the mental and physical burden of clutter, clients can reclaim precious energy for self-care, relationships, and activities that bring joy. As Jenny puts it, her mission is about "letting go to make space for what really matters to you and your family."

For those navigating the daily challenges of chronic pain, fatigue, or overwhelm, a peaceful, organized home isn't a luxury — it's an essential component of effective self-care and symptom management. Through compassionate guidance and practical solutions, Peaceful Home Organizing helps turn homes into the sanctuaries they're meant to be: spaces that support healing rather than contribute to stress.
