Tidying Up

What Sparks Joy In Your Home?

Most people know about Marie Kondo from her bestselling book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. Marie established herself as a Japanese cleaning consultant with a revolutionary idea (organizing category-by-category instead of room-by-room) and a track record of clients who never relapsed back into their old hoarding ways. 

The KonMari Method is Marie Kondo's minimalism-inspired approach to tackling your stuff category-by-category rather than room-by-room.

This local mother-daughter team of Eshani and Sona are the only certified consultants for the KonMari Method in Nashville. Eshani is the youngest certified consultant for the KonMari Method. To become certified consultants, they attended a three-day intensive consultant certification course in New York City.

Eshani Mehta is a senior at Ravenwood High School. Eshani and her mom, Sona, help their clients implement the KonMari philosophy of “spark joy,” and in turn helps people in need within our community. Eshani is especially hopeful that her knowledge will allow her to help high school seniors like herself, heading off to college, to find meaning in the items they keep and create a smooth transition from high school to dorms.
